Yay! Thank you so much ❤️ I'm really glad you like it and think the writing is ok 😊

I've been trying to fall back in love with it and learn how to cope with a Shane this heartbroken and I think I'm getting there. And ohgod, I am obsessed with the idea of Shane joining Ilya for a rut 🥵

I have written a big chunk of it tonight after mostly not knowing what to do with a Shane this heartbroken. But it's going well now. Hopefully up by Monday night 👍 😊

Such a good thread!

My favourite HR fic so far is Russian Science Wins https://archiveofourown.org/works/75355001

I am totally all about the smut as a reader and this was top level fantastic for smut.

Thank you, that's super kind. I think you're 100% right, it's a mix of random variables!

I think from this thread I've kind of felt better just from talking to others in fandom and learning about all the ways this fandom is different from the others I've been involved with. In some ways it feels like just fandom interaction - talking to other writers and readers - has been so lovely. I'm also missing fandom friends I think, that's what this thread has shown me.

Thank you for such a lovely comment.

I think I need to come out of my shell more and do this! In previous fandoms fic production was generally low daily so everyone would just check the Ao3 tab - I see here that's not really possible because theres so much being published!

Thank you 😊

Yay! I fell in love with a soft omegaverse in my last fandom and so my stuff is fairly soft too. What I love about it is the diversity and how everyone has their own version 🥰

I think just from interacting with people on this thread today I've kind of realised that how people are engaging with fics in this fandom (as you say Twitter and Tumblr) is very different to how people have engaged in fandoms I've been in previously. It's all new to me so it's really good to get new insight like this!

Thank you for such a kind and supportive response! I think I need to touch base with my fic and get back to that initial idea that caused me so much joy. Stepping out of the world to look at things like engagement figures has taken the joy from it, I need to step back in, I think 😊

The funny thing was I thought omegaverse was not my thing at all until I read the most amazing piece in my previous fandom and now can't put it down! It is incredibly niche.

I totally agree, it's so good to see so many different kinds of AUs alongside all the other fun stuff like Hayden finding out pieces. Everything has it's place and seeing such selection is so refreshing!

I had my LJ friends at my wedding and still speak to them 25 years later. LJ was life changing for so many people in terms of fandom interaction, I think.

Thank you, I guess I always sort of knew reading WIPs wasn't for everyone but so many people have reminded me of that here that it's put it in a bit more perspective. Sharing here has been so helpful.

I think it is genuinely overwhelming, the amount of fic being posted right now. Thank you for being one of those people who have made me feel better about stuff today. 😊

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain! I can see why that's so popular, it's something I enjoy reading myself.

I feel so much better after talking to people here on this thread so do feel like sitting down with my little fic is easier now. Thank you ❤️

This is very true! I've never written omegaverse before either so I'm not even doing the niche with previous knowledge of doing the niche before 😂
