Things I've been thinking about while waiting for Yuletide nominations to clear

[candyflosskillr]

My icon is NW Forever so it's ironic that I've been considering retiring from the New Warriors fandom.

I've loved this fictional team for twenty-five years (I'm so fucking old) so it's no small decision but I'm just not feeling it anymore. I already left that forum full of diehard male readers assholes who had to nitpick everything I posted. AO3

Well, there are a few good New Warriors fanfics which are up in AO3 after you left. There is one such author called Glittergrenade in AO3 where she writes fanfics of New Warriors, Avengers Academy, Young Avengers, Spider-Man, Avengers (especially about Hank Pym), Thunderbolts (only about Penance) and a few others. Many of her fanfics I have read are mostly hurt/comfort, romance and angst fics.

Also, there are New Warrior fanfics written by other writers like...
http://archiveofourown.org/works/4087264 - 'Fifth Anniversary' by WeepingAngel413 . A fanfic where New New Warriors learn a bit more about Stamford Incident which the comics barely touch upon it.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/4569357 - Of Bets, Old Jokes and Pinings by sports_hoe . A cute fanfic with the New New Warriors playing the Truth or Dare game and there's VanceRobbie ship.

About that death fic with New Warriors, I wrote it because I always have a morbid mind (and being depressed with unfair cancellations of the comic). And with many speculations of Secret Wars at that time, it was basically the end of the world in Marvel Universe so I wanted to write it as a bit of a closure. Although, it did turned out the mainstream Marvel Universe got restored after Secret Wars ended (I could explain it later about what really happened). However, every time I reread my own fanfiction, I still that it doesn't sound right because I am not good at writing fanfiction.
Anyway, just don't give up, I hope some things may look up for you. I know this may not be easy for you but keep on writing fanfics if you feel like it.

Thanks for compiling the list for me.

I think I need to say that I don't read angst fiction because I had a nervous breakdown and suffered from depression for a long time afterwards. I still find it hard to pick my mood up most days. It is what it is, I write light fluffy fiction with happy endings as a way to combat it.

I did read your story though and I liked it too despite the outrageously sad ending, lol. So keep writing!
