Date: 2003-09-03 09:14 pm (UTC)But really, take a step back and ignore the kerfuffles that are making this so un-fun for you. I know you don't only embrace the fanfic, you embrace the fandom and the fandoms are crushing you on many ends right now, and i do understand a breather. But please, don't disappear. We all love your thoughts too much!

Date: 2003-09-04 08:45 am (UTC)It's not really fandom per se, just to put your mind at ease. I mean, the fighting of the past few weeks has been pretty bad and depressing as hell, but I'm a vet of the early days of Usenet, and this kind of flame war crap (I can't even dignify some of the fighting going on with kerfuffle, because that implies a light airiness these don't have -- these are flames, pure and simple) isn't enough to drive me away. It's more personal than that. But I hope I can redirect my energies and give you some beta work. ;-)
And maybe when Angel picks up, so will I.

Date: 2003-09-03 10:39 pm (UTC)I had a paranoid attack the other night, that I'd been blacklisted somehow on LJ and so was missing all the important arguments. and then I thought - fuck, thank god for that.
But I did get really paranoid, that some friends (first firends in the fandom I ever made) had quietly unfriended me and I hadn't even realized because I'm so out of the LJ loop.
I will miss you, so you have to remember to actually respond to me when I send a personal email, okay?
no subject
Date: 2003-09-04 08:47 am (UTC)A lot of it is the fighting; most of it is personal. I will always respond to you -- you're my fic goddess, and my writing goddess!
no subject
Date: 2003-09-03 10:50 pm (UTC)And, as you cna see, you certainly still have friends :)

What has been said? Or done? Can I do anything about it? ::points to icon::
Don't leave us, please. (Gee, do I sound needy? This isn't about me.) But honestly...you shouldn't let anyone mess with you like that-- don't be driven away. If you really felt like this for a long time, then, of course, don't keep burdening yourself, but if it's mainly external force...
It would be such a loss to fandom, and I cannot even begin to imagine how many people would miss you. Of course, as the others have suggested, you may want to lock your posts and retreat from whoever and whatever is bugging you. However, I know I'm speaking for a lot of people when I ask you to keep sharing your thoughts and ideas...even if some might not like it, the protection of minorities doesn't extend that far. & ;-) ::hugs::
no subject
Date: 2003-09-04 08:51 am (UTC)I wish the friends locking was viable -- but it's the "friends" where the problem occurs. Oh, the irony. ;-) So I'm just going to be more careful where I go, what I say, and step back a bit.

Ggr. Argh. Indeed. Alanis would add it to her examples.
Really sorry. More and more, I'm afraid
I just don't know which way to go, and yesterday had some things that really kind of got to the pain point,
::offers you virtual Aspirin EXXXXXtra Strength:: & :-(
so that with all the fighting... that feeling of being paralyzed and afraid and miserable
Dear...definitely the point where you have to stop and start to take care of yourself, alright.
makes me realize a holiday is in order. And hopefully let me focus on the writing and vidding.
I see where you're coming from...and where you're going, mentally/spiritually, at least: a nice, quiet, pleasant, and most of all, peaceful place.
You know what saddens me most, though? That it's not one of the agitators and mindless drones out there retreating but *you*, best example of a writer striving to give thoughtful and balanced presentations. Sure, sometimes, we all go overboard. But I hate to see an insightful and original yet pacifist essayist like you leave.
But of cours, do relax and take a breather. I still hope things will calm down-- see my icon recalling that post (http://www.livejournal.com/users/monanotlisa/35701.html) about 5.3 kerfuffles back...
No no no!
Date: 2003-09-04 02:46 am (UTC)Stay with us!!!
no subject
Date: 2003-09-04 02:49 am (UTC)I'll be very sad if you disappear entirely, though. I love your posts, whether they're about shows I'll never see or your views on character dynamics or what you muse about while eating cherries on your porch.
Remember: if the sane among us get driven away, the fandom terrorists win. ;)
The only way I've found to stay sane (well, relatively speaking) is to look around just enough to pick out the good stuff--and there still is good stuff out there, honestly--and ignore the strident voices and general badness.
Basically, I've mostly stayed in the pillow fort I built for myself near the end of the series, and it's serving me pretty well.
(Plenty of room here for more--plus, hot chocolate! Perugina hot chocolate, even.)
Noooooo!

Date: 2003-09-04 05:06 am (UTC)I've only been doing LJ for a month now and I know I was shocked to see the behind the scenes stuff. But I'm trying really hard to follow the Wizard of Oz's advice... Ignore the man behind the curtain.

You will be *missed*. Your posts are always, always enlightening, your fic among the best, and though I'm not so much a vid person, I'll be they are amazing, too.
