Thinking about leaving...

I've been thinking about quitting writing Min fics and moving to a new writing site...

 

I found the most inspiration having Min being the protagonist of all of my stories. I was happy with the tight-knit little Minion fandom because we all knew each other and supported each other. I've probably talked with nearly every Min fan on this site lol.

 

The Min fandom is definitely dying/growing up or out of it. It's understandable, we get old, we get busy, we get a life, and it's definitely harder to find inspiration when there's been absolutely no activity coming from Min for the last three years. It was naive of me to think that we'd be able to push through the rough patches.

 

Most of my favorite writers haven't updated in years.

 

I was okay with the number of my subscribers being less than 40 each story because I knew that everyone was a friend. I was okay at first with the dwindling comments on each update and each new story.

 

Eventually writing these Min fanfics just became a creative writing outlet for me, and so the lack of comments is discouraging to my efforts. I really enjoy writing, but it's not something I can blindly do without any support.

 

I have a few options right now.

 

1) Change all of my stories to become OC x male artist (most likely bts, got7, seventeen, exo, and ikon). That would definitely make my stories more generic and open for non-Min-fans to enjoy my stories on here.

2) Move to Wattpad, and turn my stories to only have original characters. I'm not really about this idea, because I like having real characters, whether a real person or animated.

3) Fanfiction.net or Archive Of Our Own. Change my stories to become books/animes/cartoons. I'm part of plenty of other fandoms that aren't part of the kpop world and I could get used to writing for them instead.

 

Of course, this accounts for all past stories and future stories.

 

Whatever my decision is, my stories will be open for you guys still. If I decide to stay here and change to writing OC's, I plan to make all my min fics invite only, then anyone who still wants to read them can ask to added to the list and enjoy them.

 

I won't deactivate my AFF account. I'll stay with my little hope that my favorite stories will ever update, probably will check in once a week.

 

I will add one or two more oneshots to my Min Oneshot Collections, but afterwards I will have made my final decision.

 

Thank you for the years, Minions.

I realise it too that min fandom are going down now. I love reading the fanfic that minion made up for her as i can see that they use the real character of Min. Imagining it became much more easier. I’m not the type that read novels or books. But due my love to Min i start to know this website and had been continously reading fanfic about her. Whatever your choice was I hope you are doing better out there with your writing passions. Fighting authornim. I really do appreciate your effort and hard work in making all those fanfics. If it were me i doubt that i was able to do so. Good Job authornim 👍🏼
