(no subject)
I am obsessed with Hetalia. People who know me are well aware of this fact. Mind you, I'm not very active in it *myself*. I've written a little bit of fic (which I haven't posted online as of yet), and I wouldn't dream of ever trying my hand at fanart. The horrors which would result from that would be the text-book example of the "stuff of nightmares". However, I am a very avid reader of OTHER people's fanfiction, and I spend a good deal...a GOOD deal of time browsing fanart.
I'm the lazy hanger-on kind of obsessed fan, I guess.
Anyway, my point with this post is this: I recently discovered in myself a TERRIBLE fear of people growing tired of this fandom and move on to other things. This always happens eventually. It's never bothered me before. But this time...yesterday, a fanfic author I adore hinted that she might leave the Hetalia scene, and I just about went into the wall.
The hell?
This is a first. And it's rather ridiculous, really. Fandoms are transient things, some more than others. APH strikes me as one that might last longer than most, but it'll be gone in the end.
And I'm actually losing sleep over this? Of all the stupid, *silly*...!
Gah!
I think I should finish one of my own fics and actually post it...
