merricatbChallenge #12
Make an appreciation post to those who enhance your fandom life. Appreciate them in bullet points, prose, poetry, a moodboard, a song... whatever moves you!
Ok now here's a challenge I'm fully on board with. I've posted before about being in a bad place mentally when I started getting more into the Sense8 fandom. While it is unfortunately small, it has been an absolute blessing to discover just how many people still have a place for the show in their hearts.
To my readers: thank you. Whether you read one paragraph or everything I publish, I appreciate you still being in the fandom and giving me a chance. I know I'm new to the scene and don't have as many hits etc as others, so thank you for finding me. To the people who leave kudos or comments, please know that I see your usernames and I love you and I'm happy you're still in this world. I save your comments and reread them whenever I'm feeling down. While I'm writing, I honestly remember you and think so-and-so made a comment about this sort of thing and would probably like this particular scene. If I didn't worry it would be weird, I'd be gifting you fics right and left. Fandom is supposed to be a community, and you're just as much a part of it as creators are.
To other creators: we're not dead yet! Keep creating! I try to read everything new that comes out and reblog art and encourage others to do the same. I'm happy you're here and I support you as a fan and fellow creator. Come talk to me! Let's scream about Sense8 together.
To everyone at Dreamwidth: thank you for being so nice! It's quite refreshing coming from the drama of other sites. People just post positive things on each other's blogs all the time and it's lovely. Even if we're all playing in our own little corners with different dolls, we're supportive of each other's interests.
Taking a moment for a special shout out tomaevedarcy who introduced me to Dreamwidth, and who has been so selflessly sweet about holding my hand through challenges and gift exchanges and general questions when I have zero idea what I'm doing. You're a great writer and a great online friend and I'm lucky to have you. <3
