First World Problem

I very much fear that if I want fandom now, I'm going to have to break down and join Tumblr.

I HATE TUMBLR YOU GUYS.

I hate it too, but it does seem to the place to be for most fandoms, unfortunately. My newest fandom is killing me because people like to post fic there, often without capital letters, and I just don't understand why. What's wrong with LJ, where you can actually have proper discussions and better formatting?

often without capital letters

I wish you could see the expression on my face, because hell no!

Ugh, why?

Recently I came across a 26,000 word fic that looked interesting, and I read one sentence and realized it was written entirely without capital letters. I guess it's the new cool thing to do and it pains me so much. I have no idea why anyone would think that was a good idea.

Half a NaNoWriMo's worth of text sans capital letters? I don't think there's anything that could make me read that.

Same here. I've suffered through some shorter fics, but I definitely suffer, so no fic is good enough to make me sit through thousands of words of that.
