If all this fandom crap pisses you off why do you stay with it?
Why do you think I left most of my fandom behind me?
Because there was nothing I could do. Now I'm sorry if this pisses you off, but this is a particular stick in craw... "Someone in fandom does this..." "Someone in fandom said that..." just get the heck out of Dodge then!
You are obviously better than they are, but they are sooo set in their ways that NOTHING you do will matter. So piss off the lot of them. You don't need their approval or love. (more to the point that THEY don't deserve your presence)
This is why I don't let any one archive my fiction except me. I will not ever involve myself in a writing fandom again. 98% of the inhabitants are gits who don't give a damn about what anyone thinks, including the people who actually get paid to write about what they fantasize about. If I ever BECOME a paid writer in one of my fandoms, I won't even involve myself then...
I would utter the classic Shatner line, but you do have a life, you're just expending far too much energy in fighting a battle that can't be won.
Better to use the energy in other things, dear... You are capable of doing so much more than you are, you just let these negative things upset you and drag you down from the higher planes that you should be on...
Heed my words.. I've been there and done it, and it's not worth it. Sorry if I've pissed you off, but you are a dear friend and I love you dearly and I hate seeing you waste away like this.
You know...
