Every hobby has gotten way too serious. Your cosplay has to be ready for a Hollywood movie set. Your fanart has to be anatomically impeccable. Your fanfic better be up to the standards of trad pub. Oh and btw, you, a human enjoying a hobby, need to do all this FAST.

Fanfic writers, this year I challenge you to write something unlovable, something too unhinged for anyone but yourself. Do it with total sincerity and cackle with glee as it gets two bewildered kudos.

Every once in a while every fandom writer and artist should post something absolutely unhinged. Something no one but you could possibly love. Something that will crawl bloody and broken on hands and knees to even 10 likes/kudos. It's good for the soul. It refreshes the spirit.

I once saw a zine advertise as "come work with the best creators in fandom" and I blocked it. This is a harmful concept. We're hobbyists. Stop putting random fans on pedestals and treating them like more than hobbyists and fellow fans.
hey fandom could we stop saying things like "X is the best author of [ship]" because a) it's the opposite of the point of fandom and b) it fucking sucks for every other person working hard to create for that ship

I find purity in fandom so funny because, like, freaks are the original shippers. You can’t ship pixels and not be a freak. Fandom is freak-on-freak communication in its purest form. Throwing down a doily to keep yourself above the filth won’t save you from the swamp.

Your motivation has to be internal. It has to. You have to like making art just because you like making art. Clout and stats can and will motivate you, but temporarily. If you don’t have an internal passion when a fad has passed, you will not keep creating art.
I'm curious, what's your constructive artists/creatives version of this? 👀 Hard truths for improvement or about our field of work.
