It's one of those comms that you either know or don't. There is no in between, lol. I only remember it exists when I see it somewhere, lol. I suppose they like it that way? It's a good tool for keeping up with the exchanges, though. I didn't realise the Fandom Gift Box mods had gone AWOL, lol!
It's good to be willing to write other things, for sure. I commend the people who are able to hop around or actually write for characters and ships they don't necessarily care about. I just signed up as a pinch hitter for the first time for characters I do not know and I'm probably going to have several meltdowns, lol. I felt bad seeing it still up so I was like, 'sure, I can figure this out!' and then I looked up the characters. Wish me luck, lol.
It should be fun! However, I wonder how much fun it actually is. Reading FFA, it seems like people are complaining about one thing or the other. The Fanfiction subreddit is a nightmare of epic proportions. Reading these things reminds me why I was so happy writing Zude on my own for the last few years. No drama! And instead of trying to find new things, I think I'll just spend less time on it and keep things drama-free. I like the idea of pinch hitting every now and then if I see something I can write.
Lol, yes, they really do thrive on drama and it's exhausting! I think that's my issue with fandom in a nutshell. It just brings out the worst in some people.
