wh. what's whump

Avatar

my understanding is that its the older fandom term for fanfics where the main purpose is to make the character suffer in some way, usually physically but could be a variety spread. some people can be a bit too intense about it at times but i find some works in the whump genre really interesting for character study or catharsis

@mourningfields Ohhhhh okay. I looked it up as well, so i think I get it now. Thanks!

@mourningfields Calling "whump" the old fandom word killed me a little inside ngl 😭 altho fun fact, in the pre-internet times of the good ol trekkie fandom, the word for the genre was often "get 'em" Also I'd be interested if what you think of as the modern term for the genre if whump is older

If people play tables RPGs and have a genuinely trustworthy GM, and are "oh hell yes!" about this meme, they should look into Kult as a game. Interactively going just as far down that road as you like.

Also, do people querying "whump" not have a search engine available, despite being online? I mean I'm the weird combo of "in my mid 60s" and "new to fanfic", and I managed just looking it up and then remembering...
