I feel you, anon. I love what I always get out of writing fanfic—discussion and interaction with like-minded people, confidence in my writing ability, and I’ve made lots of friends, some of whom I still talk to on a daily basis years later.
That said, I think we all try to get something different out of writing fanfic and being a part of fandom. Whatever your aims or goals, you are valid and I, personally, hope you meet all your milestones.
Keep writing and you’ll get there. Good luck.

I see a lot of talk about being a “popular” writer and… I don’t know if it’s what everyone aspires to, but… I don’t? All I honestly want is a few readers that comment on my works so that I don’t feel like I’m throwing words into the void. I don’t want to be a BNF, I don’t want to write a “fandom classic” that everyone recs. It’d be a nice plus, yeah, but what I really crave when I get involved with a fandom via fanfiction is some sense of community.
