The chance to meet people – more exactly to interact with other writers and readers – was the reason I became a fanfic writer. Before my hiatus I developed some great writerly relationships. After returning to post fic on my Livejournal, I was surprised I persisted without any interaction for nine months, too busy writing fic (and really a lot of it, by my standards, as I've always been a slow writer) to look around for activity on other platforms. Since December I've written mainly for fests. It's lovely to find out that I'm not the only one – and perhaps crazy trying to get back what my fandom life used to be – and that it makes sense we're here, because we're finding it even more fun and meaningful than before.

Thank you! It's good to know that an occasional brief complaint (for instance about not being allowed to work from home) won't bother you :) I also try not to mention too often that a fic having got no attention makes me sad, and to focus on these happy occasions of sharing.
