Addition/explanation

Apr 21, 2007 21:15

The post I made yesterday was not really about anything that has already happened. It's just that I've seen my fair share of fandom meltdowns, and I can see the *seeds* of one here (not 'here' in the sense of 'in this community' but in this fandom in general). And I think (call me Pollyanna! *g*) that if we're all *aware* that the seeds are there, ( Read more... )

It's perfectly fine, I understand why we might have needed a manifesto to not get so bitter that we're starting to get nasty. But this is a place for bitterness, and if anyone starts getting bitchy, then they will be seen to. I want this community to go well and it doesn't need to be tarnished.

And god, that was long-winded. Everything is good. :)

Maybe we should have a weekly group therapy session or something. ;-) hmpf April 21 2007, 20:02:30 UTC

Just for being *really* bitter together. *g*

Actually, I'm sort of getting back to the point of my emotional equilibrium, I think. I've been... readjusting my mental furniture, and the bitterness is fading a bit. It will never turn into anything remotely resembling happiness about the ending, I think, but I'm certainly feeling a lot better about LOM again. (Not about the ending itself; I still need to 'fix' that, desperately. But I don't need to bitch so much, anymore.)

I wouldn't say that I'm super bitter anymore, just a little disturbed and disappointed. But I always have a TV show of the moment, and when I go onto another show, Life on Mars can take a backseat for a little while. But (and this is embarrasing) I'm never going to be okay with that ending.

To be honest, I'm worried about this community fading out after a while when the anti-rainbows stop caring so much about it. I really like this community, it's the first one I've managed and I want it to do well.

Well, if nothing else it will always be a community for anti-rainbow fic. I can't see that letting up sometime soon.

(Though I really ought to get off my Sam-bashing-fic phase at the moment. I know it's frustration, but it's not *healthy* dammit!)
