It’s that time of year again where I start contemplating my future in writing fanfic for Spirk. This past August I reached 12 years of writing and posting on AO3. That’s a long time.

I’ve seen a lot of readers come and go. A few have been reading maybe as long as I’ve been posting, but not many.

I’m left wondering if there’s anything left for me to write about AOS Spirk. I don’t know. I still have a few ideas in my brain ruminating but should I eventually write them or just conclude my “career” at the end of the current WIPS I have going.

I’ve seen the first season of Strange New Worlds and I don’t hate it, but not sure there’s anything for me to write about it for Spirk. They’ve done their best to heterosexualize Ethan Peck’s Spock to the point he even has a real relationship with T’Pring and even Christine Chapel. I’m not entirely crazy about Paul Wesley’s Kirk either. I don’t think he’s bad acting-wise but there’s an odd look to him that I can’t quite figure out that makes him not as cute as I’d like. Makes me shallow I guess but he’s no Chris Pine or William Shatner. Sometimes he looks okay but other times just weird. I never watched Vampire Diaries but I have seen scenes from it where he looked fairly normal so I’m not quite sure what it is about his Kirk that seems odd. Anyway, given that Spock’s leanings and my uncertainty about that Kirk, I don’t see me creating anything in that area.

Other than the occasional TOS fic, I don’t feel I can add much to that that others don’t already add.

So that’s where I’m at. Should I continue to create more AOS Spirk fics until I croak over (ha ha) or when the four WIPS I have going are done, do I give it up?

Thoughts?
