#I know how wanky it sounds but sometimes I miss the elitist intellislash fanfic circles

[victimhood]

Unfortunately I’m a slow and unfocused reader but!! Sometimes I wish I could do up a rec list for smaller fics, like the kind with a shameful amount of kudos for the quality or something, just to see if I can discover “unknown” gems because every so often I try to give a “big fic” a chance and I just…don’t feel it lol

#I know how wanky it sounds but sometimes I miss the elitist intellislash fanfic circles #like #I just have a type okay #and like popular fics tend to get more attention because they’re passed around #but there must exist many tiny gems!! #and also like…….my standards are very particular #and like there’s a certain type of fic I love that is impossible to search for #it’s not genre specific #nor does it have tropes #it’s basically atmospheric writing #but also some degree of veracity #and I love anything intensely researched #it’s about literary merit and research detail #but to do this I need to read through every single fic or something #fanfic #fic rec collectives
