Day 11: What would make you leave a fandom, or prevent you from getting into it in the first place?
Mostly, it's comments on fic. If I get disturbing comments, then I am more likely to take a break from ficcing in that fandom or in that particular AU or pairing.
I get very fearful of and anxious about posting stories because I don't want to draw a particular commentor's attention. That's happened with most of my major fandoms. I puts a bad taste in my mouth, and I am reminded that I do this for fun in my spare time and if it isn't fun, I need to drop it. I am not a Writer. I don't have stories inside me that absolutely need to get out.
Also, I don't consume a lot of TV or films, so if I am not familiar with the source material, obviously, I am not going fic about it.
