Okay so the Pros Thing I posted/linked here a few days ago...

Did no one read it?

Was it because it was posted to Tumblr?

Or was it just crap and OOC and thoughts without context are meaningless and no one had anything nice to say?

It's just I haven't writen anything for MONTHS with everything that went on over the end of last year and then the move.

(I'm still living in box-hell btw. and cannot find anything I own.)

I've been mostly on Tumblr when I have been online, for MCU and Cabin Pressure content, but I miss my Pros peeps.

However, I just can't keep up with three platforms. I didn't renew my paid membership on LJ when it exspired so I've now got ads and not the formatting I got with my paid a/c to contend with. But everyone now seems scattered across the three places of LJ, DW and Tumblr... and I just don't have the energy. Especially at the rate Tumblr content moves.

I don't know what to do. I have several Pros fics I WANT to finish, but I've got someone in Tumblr MCU-fandom actually *asking* me for fic based on my meta and headcanons. Which is nice, you know?

The thing is, Pros fandom has been there as long as I've been alive. I know there will still be a fandom next year.

I don't know about the MCU with the constant release of new content and how the fandom changes and the current dearth of fics for my favourite ships. Right now what I want to read is either fic that deals with the mess that was CACW (I don't see how they'll have TIME to actually truly DEAL WITH IT in Avengers: Infinity War, not with 19 named stars on the poster and creating new teams from the non-Avengers/Captain America/Iron Man films in the Universe) or fic that ignores everything that happened after The Avengers (2012) movie, especially Age of Ultron and Civil War. There's a lot of post-CACW fic being posted, but still not a lot for my favourite pairings.

So it's easier to find the wherewithal to keep working on my MCU fics, because I know people (well, two people, one for each of my main ships) want them, even with nothing to judge my writing by.

I kinda wonder whether I have anything to offer Pros fandom. And I looked it up the other day and my incomplete posting-as-I-write WiP (which isn't either of my unfinished Big Bangs) was posted in 2015. I keep losing time. And I seem constitutionally incapable of participating in multiple fandoms at once.

But on the other hand, I still *dream* about the Lads. But maybe I've lost their voices. Maybe I just have to come back in another two months and see where I am then?

Hope you are all keeping well. I will read all the posts I've missed and comment if I can find the energy. But not tonight, Josephine.

Dee Out.

I don't read Pros, but maybe there just isn't a large Pros fandom on tumblr? Maybe they've stayed with LJ/DW.

MCU fandom does seem to be a shifting thing! I'm sure there will always be some audience for your favorite pairing, though, even if it is small.

There is a Pros presence on Tumblr, but it is very small. On the other hand, I'm not the best judge as I go in and out of Tumblr, and mostly have been out for the past, oh, year or so. (Ahem!) Like you, I find it exhausting to go from platform to platform, and most of Pros is still LJ/DW-based. And even that is very slow at the moment. I'm thinking that the people who read your LJ/DW might not actually be the ones I've seen over on Tumblr. (Although who knows, given the variety of usernames!)

Having said all that, I saw you posted, but I've been dealing with various things and hadn't clicked on the link to send me over to Tumblr. I should connect with you there, if I remember how to do so. (Gah, "new" things! *g*)

As always, I think you should write whatever you're motivated to write. Certainly, it's wonderful to be asked for a story! But if the characters are whispering in your ear, well, that's even stronger.
