Things I like:
1. Lots of like minded people who love intense romantic TV shows. This is the only place I don’t feel weird about sharing my strong opinions about Indian TV characters 😆 I dare not utter the word Naagin in the real world 🤭
2. People are incredibly kind here. They leave the sweetest of responses on my stories. Even when I was an amateur, they would encourage me to write more. That’s one of the reasons I improved over a period of time and finally, got the courage to take a sabbatical to pen a book ❤️
3. IF teaches me new things. I experimented with story writing, graphics, video editing etc., seeing the stuff people were creating here. I ended up using these skills in different areas of my work life too.
So thank you, talented IF artists. I learn a lot from you guys 🤗
Thing I dislike -
Where do I even start? How do I choose just one to highlight? 😕
Many important forums are dead. It’s no fun discussing anything there. Even the ones on popular international shows hardly see any activity. It’s hard to even find these forums on the site. On the other hand, apps like Reddit are thriving with discussions on these very shows.
Even the Bollywood forum barely sees any activity, when just 5 years back, it was buzzing with hot topics.
Creations Corner, where I learnt quite a few things for, is just dead.
I see a lot of viewer numbers against forum topics, but I don’t think that’s a true estimate. Hardly 10-20 people are seen in most forums, while the viewer count for some topics shows in thousands.
I feel that IF over the years has just declined, in terms of traffic as well as engaging content. I wish there were more people, more artwork, more discussions on not just saas bahu crap but even international shows. It’s not like people don’t discuss things anymore. It’s just that they stopped discussing it here.
I would say IF has a better interface than Reddit, but still the discussions thrive on that platform instead of here 🤷♀️
Hoping things improve and I can live the days of old IF again. Intezaar rahega…shayad kisi din…
