I've retired after two whole years on this site,it was a cringey, but pleasant experience. The first fanfic I've ever read was here lmao. 
I didn't get much writing experience tho tbh because people didn't give a shit about my original works,so I gave up on them,instead they enjoyed all the half-assed Shitposts I shitted out almost daily. So my advice to you is:Quality is always better than popularity. Good luck Lmao 
Mama out (forever)
