Howdy folks, AB here. I know I haven’t posted for what seems like ever, because my procrastination skills are truly admirable, but lately I have been not motivated to do anything because we’re all gonna die from corona anyway. But now I am! Also, this is the first time I’ve posted before 10:30pm, I’m pretty sure.
So, because I’ve had nothing to do in quarantine except annoy my sister and even that got boring after a while, I started to reread some of my old favourite book series because some of them I still read fanfiction for, despite not having read them for 2, 3 years.
This is something I call the ‘fandom effect’ because there are some fandoms that once you’re in, you’re in. Examples: PJO (and resulting series), Miraculous Ladybug, Criminal Minds (entirely for Spencer Reid), Grey’s Anatomy, IT (Reddie forever) and so on and so forth.
I’m not entirely sure how this comes about, but there comes a time when you would rather read fanfiction about it than actually watch/read it. Case in point: Grey’s Anatomy.
The fact that I still read PJO fanfiction despite not having been properly into the series since ’16 is a testament to how amazing the characters are and the different storylines they all have and I think you can often tell the overall greatness of a book series, movie franchise or TV show based on the look of the fandom five or ten years on from the actual release.
Also how weird is it that a French cartoon for children has a bigger fanbase than a huge book series like the Hunger Games? It is really good, especially the fandom, I guess.
Anyway, once you’re hooked on fanfiction, there is no way out. I recently signed one of my best friends up with a Wattpad account and now we are Reddie stans writing a fanfiction together.
It’s a really good outlet for when I want love and have none so I have to live vicariously through my favourite fictional characters.
Ok, that’s about all I have to talk about now! Please like and follow for more of my shenanigans and if you wanna read my fanfiction, I am Zombie221 on fanfiction.net and on fictionpress.net as well. Read my newer stuff though, because the old stuff makes me want to die sometimes p_p
Ok, a cheesy joke before you go as per usual:
What do sprinters eat before they race?
Nothing, they fast!
Lmao, I am hilarious.
Adieu!
