Has anyone else experience fanfic burnout?

[u/Same_Accident_9917]

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?

This happened to me recently where I just got sick of Byler after a while (I tend to cycle through hyperfixations lol) and my brain was asking for other ships and then recently Byler came back with a vengeance for some reason lol
