Not much new is happening - just the good old angst that's making me sound like a BNF on crack. I am agonizing over the SGA premiere - I wanna watch it, but I somehow don't want to watch it, too. Maybe I'm afraid of the writers going nuts midseason and writing John/Teyla and totally ruining SGA for me. Maybe I am in too deep. Maybe I should drop ( Read more... )

You need to find a niche in the market - something that isn't already catered for...

But everything has already been catered for, and I just can't find a place for me anywhere.

Maybe you should look less to be a leader, and instead to just be one of the many, you know?

You can be a part of the fandom without running a community.

I can't be one of the many. And I can't be a leader. So there's no place for me anywhere.

Fandom, in my mind, is like that fable Stone Soup. A coupla guys give us a stone and some water. That's great, but it's not that interesting. So, every goes into their house and brings out an ingredient for the soup. Some people bring out, like, a pinch of cayenne pepper and others bring out, like, a bunch of tomatoes. It doesn't matter how much one person brings to the soup, because everybody helped to make it. If that one one person was ashamed of only being able to give that pinch of cayenne pepper and didn't bring it to the soup, the soup wouldn't have tasted the same.

My point is that everybody brings something to fandom. Some people bring more than others, but we are all equally important.

Stop thinking so much. Life is much more palatable when you turn off your brain. Trust me on this.

As Bugs Bunny said, "if you take life too seriously, you'll never make it out alive."

Besides, aren't you the moderater of the badfic quotes community? That community is really popular, lots of people (including me) love it.

See, just look on the bright side.

Or, try drinking with friends. Vodka coolers make *everything* better...

And if nothing else, remember that Sindeniirelle will not allow you to sink into depression because she wants another chapter of "the Road Taken"

So there.

Hmm. If only you lived near me, I have a six-pack of Vex in the back of my fridge and no one to drink it with.
