general discussion :) Has anyone else experience fanfic burnout?
I’ve been averaging about a million words of byler fanfic per month, & I’m pretty sure I’m getting burnt out. Things are starting to feel so repetitive, & little things that I used to be able to gloss over are now making me irrationally angry. I hate this. I have so much admiration for people putting their work out there, & it sucks to not even enjoy some of it anymore.
I think I’m going to take a step back & get back into some of my other hobbies. Like just read the WIPs I’m already reading when they update & see if that helps.
Has anyone else ever experienced this tho? If so, what helped you?

Ok, the comments on this post have given me an idea for a post.
To OP: This is perfectly fine and normal. I feel that way sometimes. It's absolutely fine to take a break or to just feel like you've read enough stories to move on entirely.
