I think you mentioned that before--I'm so tickled!
We're splintering and there's no one direction that everyone is headed so I decided to make plans. I can always amend them if everyone ends up in one paritcular location.
Oh, okay, I get it. That's what I'm doing too. I really think that eventually fandom will find a new place, and I'll be there when that happens. If not I'm alright being a bit nomadic.
it was lonely over here, too at first.
Yeah, exactly. I dunno, I wandered in fandom 4-5 years before I found LJ. I was not *happy* during that time, because I rarely found anyone to talk to. I was just writing fanfic and *trying* to make connections, but things I wrote didn't get much notice and most of the connections I made were futile and weird and unsatisfying (bar maybe about 4 people who are AWESOME). Then I found LJ and was like a kid in a candy shop; I finally knew where it was at. But now that I'm leaving, I'm not too worried. If enough people move, we can have this kind of community elsewhere. If not--well, I still know where it's at :o)
I don't talk about my OG fic much because this journal is mostly a fandom place
I talk about wanting to do it, but yeah I don't talk about the actual writing that much. To me it's sort of private and not something I want to throw at a bunch of people until it's done and published. I'll talk more to you about the Writers Group Something once I figure out what the something is. Or if you have any ideas about it, feel free to brainstorm!
I'm a little burned out and despondent right now, I think because racism and stupidity so make me want to pull out my hair and go live on a mountain in the back of nowhere.
Totally understandable, and I feel a bit like that too. I just wasn't clear on whether you were ever coming back! Had a bit of a freak out. Although I'm answering comments and occasionally scrolling through the fl and everything, I'm kinda taking it easy a bit too. Er...which really means reading lots of Harry/Draco fanfic, but anyway, not actually participating in what currently seems so close to madness.
There aren't a lot of people who make me want to send them silly packages
Hee! I've loved them and really really want to send you one back! I'm just slow and lazy.
I'm glad you're taking a break, glad you'll be around in some form or another, and really really glad you're my friend. *mush*
