Been thinking. Dangerous times

You're the best

[anonymous]

I never had a livjournal account (or maybeI do since I get notifications of all your post??) but I came to internet fanodm right as livejournal was really on the decline. But I stumbled across some of your glee fic in a rec post, and was so entranced. You have some of my favorite/best writing and stories, not just fanfic, but of any medium or format. It's gorgeous and beautiful and haunting and emotional. All the other Ghost is so good I recommend it to people who I often wouldn't even admit to reading fanfic too (there's nothing wrong with fic butI also get intense social anxiety and I hate people judging me on shit they know nothing about). You were and are a blessing to Klaine fandom. In some of my darkest, coldest most empty days, taking the time to re-read AtOG was what reminded me and brought me to light again. I cannot emphasize enough how much you've brought to me

Hello honey =) I'm really glad you've been enjoying the fic (despite the judgement of others; I always think the areas of geekdom allowed 'cool' status are eye-rollingly gendered, video games and comic books are allowed to be cool because they're generally gendered male, however true that really is, but fanfiction is gendered female whether that's true or not and so it's *always* given all the stigma of geekdom without being accepted as part of the very highest pinnacle of geekdom, we can't win. *shrugs*)

I'm glad the fic's been there for you on bad days too <3 I've had some pretty epic anxiety recently and the only cure *genuinely* seems to be rewatching GO (again ^^;), I just forget all the anxiety when I'm curled up with those two. So I'm really glad my fic's been there for you when you've needed something like that too

You know, I’ve been wishing for the same type of thing recently. There *has* to be somewhere for the mid-level engagement fan

I know the old days are gone but I miss that dynamic, I made some really, really good friends that way - keepers, who stay in my life <3

I battle my ego over AO3 because my horror is lots of people commenting and I don't have the arms to respond to them (or the control of my anxiety to face them), but then of course no-one might comment at all, I can hardly assume that, so what am I worrying about ^^; If I'm honest I'm not very familiar with the culture on there so I don't know how easily people turn to dickishness; there's something personal on the journal platforms that I think shelters us against treating each other as disposable, non-human, as we do on some platforms. I think part of the reason I just hunch on the old platforms is that it's quiet and I can control who can post on here, so if someone harasses me or anyone else on my journals I can go full Crowley on them, by which I mean ban the bastard before returning to cheerful Aziraphaledom

Hugs and so many kudos

I think this falls into the category of "you never know what someone else is thinking

Re: Hugs and so many kudos

Hello honey =) Some fandoms are huge, and GO is up there with Who for fandoms I hardly dare touch for the sheer age and *size* of them. The good thing about that is that you can usually find like-minded fic of a decent quality, but the bad thing is, you know, all the people, all of them o_0 But I'm glad you've been enjoying the fic, and my thanks to your friend for acting as an alert service

I can rec one fic/fandom comm on here that's still alive: comment-fic. It's literally the main reason I still have an LJ and I really miss the old days of mahoosive comment-essays and meta and fic and chatter that were the hallmarks of LJ's heyday :( Not sure if there's a GOmens comm on here or not, but the peeps at Comment fic are happy to chat and prompt and fic around which is lovely

Gosh good to know I'm already a month behind on replies, sorry <3

Discord seems to be the thing lately, but it’s fast moving and can be a pain to keep up with.
