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.

Date: 2023-01-07 12:59 pm (UTC)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) :)
