#and i wouldn't wnana read fic of characters i don't care about so i don't lol

[spiritofjustice]

to elaborate on my tags, i generally do not read fanfiction because 1) i don’t have any interest in it anymore and 2) because it makes me feel uncomfortable a lot of the time.

and it’s not because i’m afraid of encountering repulsive content or anything-- that is what it is, and i hate it, but that isn’t it.

it’s kind of stupid to admit, but other people’s interpretations of my favorite characters tend to make me so deeply uncomfortable that i can’t read other people’s writing. this is doubly so if i myself write them. i was that bitch who was uncomfortable with doubles in the roleplay community because i really am Just Like That. unless i’m friends with the person in question or force myself to interact with them to get over the nerves (not that this fully fixes it basically ever but being friendly does help me feel better) which i usually did, it’s just... not really for me.

like it isn’t a solid rule.  i love some interpretations i’ve seen, but there’s just so many factors i can’t control / can’t account for and i just can’t deal, so i don’t read fanfiction. i don’t mean to feel threatened by it, i just do. but i would never be mean or unkind about it. there’s nothing even wrong with most people’s interpretations, my brain just looks at it and goes “nope, don’t like that” and that’s that. i love seeing other people’s interpretations, it’s just some visceral part of my brain that doesn’t.
