Fandom

[lady_windermere]

Thank You everyone for giving your positive things about fandom, really great stuff!

Well I have been having a bit of a think about me and the fandom myself. I feel like I found a shiny babble a few years ago, and with the events that have been going on in LJ and Yahoo, it is tarnished for me now. Might take a bit of a back seat in it for a little bit of time, maybe just coast along, and try and find my enjoyment in it again.

Today is my second anniversary on LJ, yes two years ago today was when I joined, and have been addicted ever since. Then it has been two years, maybe this is a natural stage at this time.

I'm not looking for a new fandom. Just cannot get the urge to write about any other characters, or read about them either. Just might need to recapture that first joy I felt when I found I loved Spangel, and read the fics I enjoyed then. Hopefully that will do it

Happy Anniversary!

I'm sorry some people in this fandom is making it hard for you to enjoy it. Some how I manage to stay out of it's way, I very rearly notice what's going on except the yahoo thing of course. I hope steping back a bit will help you find your way back again. It would be a terrible thing to loose soemthing good like this because of some stupid people who are just in it to ruin it for everyone else.

*hugs and kisses*

Thank You, yes it would be like letting them win if I did that, but still need to recharge the batteries!

Happy LJ anniversary honey! *squishes you*

*clings to you* Don't go too far sweetheart, I'd miss you too much! But, yes, step back, read some old goodie and I'm sure it'll work like a charm helping you get back your love for this fandom. Love you hon :D

:-) thank you *squishes right back*

Yes I am improving, didn't even feel like reading my golden oldie faves over the weekend, but do now. I hope that this will be a stepping stone back in! *Cuddles*

Happy anniversary, sweetie. I won't sing because it's already raining here, but my heart is in it :)

I hope you won't need to step away too long and too far, you're needed here.

*covers you with nakid Spikes*

:-), Thank You!

Sure it is just a little break, would miss everyone too much.

Happy Anniversary, sweetie.

Don't stay away too long. I miss you already.

*hugs you tight and twirls you around*

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

:-), Thank You,

Oh I don't think I could stay away to long, and I have a seasonal community to do as well! This Sunday *Meep*

*big hugs*

Squeeeeeeeeee, HAPPY LJ ANNIVERSARY, LUV!!!

And, please, don't leave us for too long. I understand the need of a break, after all this mess around LJ. But don't forget us, yes? The fandom needs cool people like you ;-).

*hugs you tight*

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

:-), Thank You!

I will be back, I have to be, got a seasonal community to do on Sunday, so gotta get that out!

*Big Hugs*

Today is my second anniversary on LJ,

Congrats! Time really flies on LJ, I must say.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

:-), thank you!

Yes, time has flown on lj for me as well.

Sometimes a vacation is the only answer. You'll come back refreshed and renewed and less likely to let things get you down.

*hugs*

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Well a bit of a break I think, had a little nap this after noon, and feel a bit more refreshed. So hope it gets better!

*hugs*

[so-sharlemaine.livejournal.com]

You and I started on LJ right about the same time! My two year is in a couple days :)

Happy Anniversary!

Vacations are good. Take one. But come back to us, you hear?...We don't want to lose you for too long. This kerfluffle is dying I believe and we are going to totally ignore the next one. Not doing this again, uh UH!

*hugs you*...relax a bit and pamper yourself, babe.

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Oh so we are almost LJ twins, cool!

Oh It will not be a long break, could be that the seasonal community I signed up for is bringing me down as well. So how I feel when it is over.

*hugs*

I understand what you are going through, but one reason I didn't take part in your rah-rah fandom post was that I don't happen to think that fandom as a whole is a good thing. What I think is that there are pockets of good people and things that you gravitate to, but to think that everyone is well-intentioned or well-meaning is a mistake. It's the internet, and anyone with an interest in taking part can do so. So I'd just look at fandom as utter chaos, and when things run smooth, we aren't aware of it, but it's just not always like that. People aren't nice just because they are in this fandom. Stick to those who are and you'll be happier, but do it conscious of the realities. xx

[http://users.livejournal.com/woman_of_/]

Yeah, I think for me it was because it was not just LJ but Yahoo as well, and totally crazy claims being made. Kind of sucked everything out of it.

I might feel better after I get the seasonal community done on Sunday, think I might get two little ficlets (if they even make it that far), done tonight. After that things might look better for me. I really don't think I should do these communites, I get like this about them a lot.

Yes, just stick to a group you know you can trust. *hugs*

[spikesminx.livejournal.com]

Happy anniversary, sweetie =) There has been times that I needed to take a break, too *nod* Hope you get back soon *hugs*

[spikesminx.livejournal.com]

*have. Stupid XD

Thank You :-)

Yes feeling better today, went back and read some older Spangel, really lifted my mood, as well as the comments!

*hugs*
