Challenge #3

In your own space, Scream Into the Void. Get it all out. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.



I'm going to whine a little today. Don't get me wrong: CSI has literally kept me sane during a very tough time and I'm extremely happy I discovered Nick/Greg fanfiction, I haven't been this productive in years. But, man, is it difficult being in a semi-dead fandom. New fics are very rare, and every time I post something on AO3, I typically get just a handful of kudos and maybe one comment. I'm so used to receiving minimal feedback that every time I get mote than that, or when I receive AO3 notifications, my smile is so big my face hurts afterwards. I'm grateful to each person who uses some of their time to read my stories, but I really miss fandom interaction. Maybe I'm just biased: I still remember the fun I used to have in some LJ communities years ago and I've been trying to find something similar, but I guess things are just too different now (nostalgic Millenial? Who, me?)

Anyway. Just before writing this entry I checked the Nick/Greg tag on AO3, just to prove my point and, lo and behold, someone posted a new podfic and a new fic! There might still be hope after all.

As someone also in a semi dead fandom, I definitely relate! I miss those LJ comms too, you're not alone in being a nostalgic millennial lol

Yay for finding a surprise though with new content! Fingers crossed that keeps up. :D

[gothikmaus]

Ah, the good old days, right? XD

And let's hope 2023 will bring new content and new interactions. :)

oh man it's been years since I was in CSI fandom...

i shall have to check out your fic!

[gothikmaus]

Just my luck: falling for an old fandom when I was least expecting it. But, hey, they're bringing Greg back to CSI: Vegas this year! That, at least, was perfect timing. :)

Have fun reading, I hope you find something you like. :)

As someone who just discovered CSI literally last month: that corpse is definitely twitching still *heh*

[gothikmaus]

Yay, new blood! *cough* I mean, welcome! :D

Yay, new blood! *cough* I mean, welcome! :D

Thanks! Also, I've just read your Nick/Greg manifesto and even as someone who is currently focused on other people, I have to say: great job!

Also: Greg is coming back?! That's great news!

[gothikmaus]

Thanks! It took me a while to get into Nick/Greg, but now they just won't leave me alone. Not that I'm complaining. :)

And yes, Greg is coming back! He's supposed to appear in the second half of Season 2 (which reminds me, I still need to watch the first half of the season, oops). I'm so happy, he's my favourite CSI character. :)

I'm still watching the original series and have no fixed pairing preferences yet (except liking the pairing the writers make canon way less than they want me to *heh*). But the characters all already have a dear place in my heart.

After watching series 1, I also bought the first season of the reboot, and I'll definitely also buy the second once it's out because more CSI is always good for something (such as more fic ideas) :)

(Ah, I wanted to tell you that since I replied to your fandom promo, I've been thinking about Nick/Greg. This is all your fault. Take responsibility.)

[gothikmaus]

Oh, I'll happily take full responsibility for that, mwhahaha. 😈
