This is about the (now infamous) silent car scene in the film. Marshmallows are an insanely happy bunch of fans and this brought in a lot of traffic almost at once. And it's just a teeny drabble-length fic! Totally blew me by surprise how many people are hitting on this.

This is a really small fandom and readers are really enthusiastic about anything they can get their hands on. And since this is an au/canon-divergent piece, I wasn't expecting that. But it's great to know that there's kdrama fans out there in the ao3 space, looking for things to read, you know?

LOL omg this piece. This hilarious BDSM-club AU. WHY DO PEOPLE TRY TO READ THIS? I haven't even worked up the courage to even FINISH this. I have no explanation. Sorry to everyone.

Once again, Marshmallows prove to be the most actively engaged fandom of the moment. And though this isn't an ot3 that gets a lot of love from the LoVe fandom - there's a need for good writers in this space. (I've peeked. There's not a lot of good out there.)

Once again, Heirs fandom surprises me. (Might also have something to do with the fact that this is straight kink and has tags like: "cock bondage, voyeurism, orgasm delay/denial" etc.) You kinky minxes.

What this tells me is two things: either Marshmallows are more likely to kudo than tVD fans, OR I need to finish my BDSM-AU. Also probably both.

This piece continues to get a lot of love. There aren't many pieces for this fandom (22 total on oa3 at the moment) and was the very first to be published when the film was still in theatres. So it's been there the longest. Which is a pretty good feeling.

So basically what I've learned is that regardless of my writing, Marshmallows will eat up whatever you give them. And on the other hand - the smaller the fandom, the more likely you'll get love. And my epic Anna piece that I'm so proud of is basically ignored. Go figure.

(ps - I will get caught up on comments and being a real person in a few days, I promise!! I'm avoiding my inbox a bit right now because I'm a terrible person. ilu all)

fandom is my girlfriend, all the fandoms, writing is painful & magical, meme?
