April Actually

[dracoqueen22]

Springing into Spring and April is what should be happening. Instead I'm slogging my tired ass into the new month, wondering where the heck March went because I sure don't remember it.

Not seeing much different in April than in the month's preceding. Getting used to working full-time is taking a lot longer than I anticipated. After working almost

I love the rare pairings! I love that you write and contribute the way you do, and believe me when I say that you make fandom a nicer place to be in. I'm glad you are still with us, but truly understand how you feel.

Tumblr is annoying, at the best.

And, between life in general - work specially - it's amazing that anyone gets anything written at all. So, kudos for trying, and doing your best <3

Thank you for the hugs and the support!

Fortunately, I have noticed that I'm a heck of a lot happier when I'm not on Tumblr. I miss the interaction, but I don't miss the anxiety that sets in as I worry whether or not said interaction is going to be positive or negative. I'd rather the lonely silence than the nerve-wracking anxiety.

Oh, definitely! I'm happily single and childless and intend to stay that way, and I struggle to find the time myself. So when I see people who have SOs and children and full-time jobs and still find time to write, I just boggle at them. Superheroes! I don't know how they do it. They deserve accolades for that alone! :)

I can completely understand the tumblr thing. Fortunately I'm not a target for such trolls, but I can see the occasional dramas and I would not wish them on anyone. Least of all on you.

Selfishly wishing you lots of time and energy to write - and live as well, ofc. :-)

Thank you for the support! :)

Yeah, the trolls have been particularly numerous and vocal lately and I'm just tired. I don't have the energy to deal with them anymore, so I'm opting not to do it at all. XD. Fortunately, there are enough supportive people around that I'm not giving up entirely, just abandoning Tumblr.

::Hugs:: As another fandom "oldtimer", I never understood why you would attack someone for liking or not liking a particular pairing. When I started out in fandom, the communities I took part in respected that you might like certain characters or pairings more than others.

Your fic has given me appreciation for pairings I might never have considered otherwise - so I hope you keep writing! :)

[dracoqueen22]

Thank you! And yes, I never understood that either. I don't understand why it's someone else's business what another person ships, and why it's seen as a personal attack if everyone doesn't ship the same thing. It's just baffling. And I feel like it's a new thing, because I swear I don't remember fandom always being like this.

And thank you so much! I do intend to keep writing, that much I know. I'm hoping to dip back into Justice League, too. I've got all these ideas on the backburner. :)
