thanks, Untamed fandom
Dec. 21st, 2020 05:53 amI was pretty sure I started reading Untamed fic around the start of the year, so I went back searching through my AO3 history. Sure enough, based on my entirely unscientific search, Untamed stories started showing up significantly on December 29th, 2019. Which was, uh, 165 pages deep in my history. ::clears throat awkwardly:: Well, 2020. ::handwaves away the fact that probably every year has that many pages::
ANYWAY the point is that the Untamed fandom is a gift that keeps on giving, and I appreciate it. I have never seen a fandom where enormous amounts of new content are generated so consistently (and for such a long period of time!). There's so much! And the VARIETY!
After a year-ish of reading, it feels like I have met so many versions of these characters, and enjoyed getting to know them all. Everyone is shaped by their circumstances and their choices -- change one or both, and the story kaleidoscopes out from there. And really, when *couldn't* I benefit from reading these messages over and over?
*It matters that you tried, even if you failed.
*It's worth it to love, even if you lose them.
*Every individual has the power to choose.
