Shall I call this a crisis of faith? No, that would be melodramatic.

Metalocalypse people on my f'list... I know there's few of you, but you're there. And I could really use you guys right now.

I'm having major doubts about the community I'm working on, dethepisode - the one I first posted about last summer. I'm just not sure right now whether it's worth the effort, or if anyone will join, or if I'll be interested enough/ ( Read more... )

dethepisode, metalocalypse, fandom, my communities, friends and relationships

Hmm.. frankly, I'm losing overview on all the MTL communities already existing out there! :/ Which is no offense by any means, as I think it's cool when people feel like creating and running platforms of common interest.
Still, speaking for myself I have to say that I don't really bother to join each and every one of them. I'm a member of three already, and that's enough for me. I haven't joined any new Dethklok community that has popped up within the last year, even if they were really well done and organised. It's just a matter of "overflow" maybe oO

So yeah that's just my two cents, but I may not be a ruler :>

hey, every little bit of input helps. :)

and what you said actually does address one of my main concerns...

the thing about Dethepisode is... i don't know if you've had the time/inclination to take a look at the comm, or read the post from last summer that i linked to. but the point is, it's not intended to be just another metalocalypse community. i do think we have enough, for such a small fandom -- after a while, you're just spreading people out too thin.

but this, i wanted to be a community with a specific purpose: to house and archive episode-related content and discussion. just that, nothing more.

i wouldn't want to compete with places like sausagefestival. what i'm worried about, is that people might still think i'm trying to compete with the general comms, even if i'm not; and with that in mind, they may choose to stay where they're already comfortable instead of joining some new community.

i mean, after all -- you can always go discuss the latest episode at any of the places that already exist. but the purpose of dethepisode would be to bring all ( ... )

on an unrelated note: i love your icon. the stripy background is super cute.

I'm afraid I know nothing about the fandom or about running a comm or really much of anything really...
But you get a hug in support!

[ hee... ] supes_ July 2 2009, 23:56:11 UTC

yay! hugs are still good. <3

and i still think you should watch the show -- you never know, you might like it. besides, the fanart is amazing.

LOL, I don't have enough time for the fandoms I *am* in, adding more would not help!
