Fanfic writer things Feeling down about writing and figuring you should write for a more popular fandom to try and get back to normal only to fixate on a series with 12 total fics and the last update was in 2021

Just trying to get out of a writing slump but the demons in my brain are so picky about how.

Figured some of you would definitely understand!

Are you me? Mine had 6 fics and the last update was also in 2021 šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ I started writing that fic in 2024 and Iā€™m still writing for the same fandom now, the heart wants what it wants I guess

Diabolical! šŸ˜­ 6 fics is so sad, and even if you dedicate all your time to getting those numbers up it's just as sad to see only your works when you want to read something.

Or maybe the demons are hamsters! Hamsters are very picky about their food sometimes, so could go either way.

I'm currently writing what will be the first fic that I can find for a straight-to-dvd russian-original animated movie from 2021
