Another blogger announces burnout, but this time with a novel twist:

I’m not sure what I should be doing to solve this conundrum. I could bring my fanfictional ramblings into this blog: after all, it’s an anime fanfic. I also seem to remember a few conversations over on #AnimeBlogger which were unexpectedly encouraging about the discussion of fanfiction on anime blogs, possibly for variety. However, fanfiction also appears to be something of an Acceptable Target for jibes and barbs serious enough to leave wounds.

This does not bode well (see: Novak, Aaron and his last post).

As a fellow fanfic author, I do not have anything against the pursuit per se, but as for dragging it into a blog, I say no. The "jibes and barbs" is just the price of sharing the Net with assholes, so it's not an argument against anything. Still, it's a bad idea for the health of the blog. Fanfic is strictly fragmented by fandom and other identities, so it's a poor match for a blog (unless you're a writing superstar... but at that time you probably go pro; before that, FF.net is a far better way to connect writers and readers). The result is going to be the same quick fading of the blog as simply starving it from anime content.

Burnout is burnout, man. You just have to face it.
