For context, the job was postman. Had decent pay, even kind of enjoyed it. Still quit.

While talking with my last PR agent, they mentioned that I really should set up some form of social media page. Because currently I only have my Bandcamp and my YouTube and it might help to attract some more eyes and connect with people, by setting up some social media page. Problem is I kind of just hate social media in general and I do not feel like having to manage an algorithm and shit like that. But I do admit that it might be useful to have some kind of social media presence.

But what do I even put there? Is it just building hype for an upcoming release? Should it be more personal? Is it okay if I set one up for me in general and it'll include my music? And which site anyway? All the major ones are cesspools, but a minor one might not be as widely accessible to everyone. Do I really need to have a presence on multiple sites? Sounds like a huge pain.

Welcome to the general fanfic discussion thread!

This is the thread for discussing anything pertaining to Fanfiction in general. Like your ideas, thoughts, what you're reading, etc. This differs from my Fanfic Recommendation Link-Swap Thread, as that focuses primarily on recommendations. Every week these two threads will be posted at alternate times.

Although, if you like, you can talk about fics you don't necessarily recommend but found entertaining.

IMPORTANT NOTE. Thanks to /u/BookHorseBot (many thanks to their creator, /u/BitzLeon), you can now use the aforementioned bot to easily post the name, description, views, rating, tags, and a bunch of other information about a fic hosted on Fimfiction.net. All you need to do is include "{NAME OF STORY}" in your comment (without quotes), and the bot will look up the story and respond to your comment with the info. It makes sharing stories really convenient. You can even lookup multiple stories at once.

Have fun!

Good tidings! It's time for the Weekly Fanfic Recommendation LINK-SWAP Game thread to continue!

Anyways, THE RULES (read 'em carefully):

• Post a link to a fanfiction you like (can be your own as well - it's okay to self-promote), with or without a short blurb.

• Important: Reply to someone else's post with a link to a fanfiction you think they might like, based on their choices.

• Put each of your choices in a separate post if you want to make sure to get a recommendation based on each one. You may reply to someone else's reply, either to you or to someone else. Please make long discussion threads, they introduce a healthy bit of exploration and can help us find new interests! And that's it!

PLEASE COMPLETE BOTH STEPS 1 and 2. Don't just show up and ask for recommendations if you're not willing to provide any.
