Mar. 21st, 2014 11:04 pmI have too many conflicted feelings about the Pokemon fandom.
On one hand, I want to read ALL THE FICS! of only my OTP. Then on the other hand, I'm going "nuuu muh childhood" or "ugh these one-shots are so unsatisfying, gibe me plot plox" or "no one stays on a mountain for 3 years with just a t-shirt AND makes people go out of their way to take care of their basic needs, jfc, is this seriously what passes for romance these days???"
Also, it's just so damn big. So on one hand, I look at the kink meme and think "wow much prompt such unfilled very deserted wow. I should fill some out". And on the other hand, I'm thinking "mmmeeeehhhhh". There's just way too many parings I don't care about, tbh. And kinks that make my inner childhood cry. And no one around to actually read fills.
Also I can't seem to find a very active community. (Except maybe tumblr, but I hate that site. Its design seriously bothers me. You can create a community/fandom really easily, but there's no forum or actual comment area to hold meaningful discussions with multiple people, so all you're left with is a million reblogs.) Guess that's to be expected for something nearly 20 years old :/
Also apparently I did well in that interview. Too bad because I've changed career paths YET AGAIN. My life seriously needs to get back in order so I can write more.
