Happy new year!fenris_wolf0December 31 2016, 18:57:01 UTC
As a confirmed stalker of your LJ, I thought I should leave a word to say I agree 100% with your post and this is a great opportunity to wish you an excellent 2017!
I am probably showing my fandom years, but I find the current fandom platforms both very convenient for the consumption of fandom media and much worse at communications with identifiable other fans.
While I love the anonymity we take for granted in fandom, it is hard to avoid noticing that some seem to think it means it is acceptable to behave like hateful trolls at the drop of hat, using a completely weird level of vitriol.
Anyway, thank you for your posts which are always interesting and worth reading: then again, I admit I am biaised since I have loved your fanfics for so long and still would happily read your grocery list!

I'm sorry it took me so long to reply to this, life's been…a handful lately. But I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate this, and how great it was to see your name again in my inbox!! That is such a lovely compliment, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it, and yeah, I so agree with you that there are great things but we've also really lost something, I think. I feel kinda sorry for this generation, who don't know how supportive and kind this community can be, in a lot of ways.
