According to some places, yeah you are supposed to care about sequels/new material and be compliant to them about as soon as things drop! To others they take having traits change/be gained to match new material as a sign of 'faking'. Youd think people would have realized by now both options are terrible, but nope! Its not everywhere, but its enough places that it gets exhausting.

Fictives are treated pretty poorly basically everywhere honestly, *including* in fictive specific spaces and arent really given tools to manage the Existential Situation they find themselves in.

Yeah, it makes US sad too! Its truly preventable, and its wild no one has made anything for this already- weve looked around enough times hoping we didnt have to put out yet another resource/advice document because no one else has done it, but it looks like its necessary lol. It will be awhile before we finish it obviously, but its coming.

Wow, that sounds... really, really awful, and you're not making us feel any worse about dropping off that side of the plural planet, even though most of our plural friends have fictive members. I'm really sorry y'all've had to put up with that.

IT'S TRUUUUUUUUE. D:<

I know, right? Maybe we'll talk more about insourced stuff, even though it's out of style these days...

[monsterqueers]

Yeah, its very much a good thing to stay out of it. We appreciate the sympathy very much. Only reason we havent washed our hands of the mess is that we still want to put out resources into the cesspool in hopes that it helps someone and keep abreast about what is generally going on. As it is, we dont join new closed plural communities for a reason unless they have been Heavily vouched for by someone we know.


Any talking on experiences is valuable!

Yeah, I feel lucky that I was able to pull out and sorta become my own thing. I did join fictionkind, but it moves so fast and has so many young people that I'm like an old lurky fogey who mostly doesn't talk because I feel like I have to learn the community norms first.

[monsterqueers]

Yeah, we joined that too. Its nice and all but theres quite a lot of activity so we tend to filter them off our reading page so its not so overwhelming and just check in periodically instead. We keep forgetting to post there as a result of making it out of sight out of mind, though and mostly just lurk.
