nnyYou know what? Slash makes me happy. When I finish reading a well written fic, there's always a stupid grin on my face that makes my siblings sigh, punch me on the arm, or tell me to grow up. I get a little adrenaline rush and a fluttery feeling in my stomach if I see that one of my favourite authors has posted something new. The remote impossible possibility that someone might read something I've written and view it in a favourable light makes it worth getting up in the mornings on days where there's really no other point.
So stuff like what's been posted on tboy, luthien67 and ivyblossom's journals really upsets me. I like to think that everyone's getting what I get out of it- something that can make a good day even better, and a bad day worth living. It upsets me that people are sometimes shitty for no apparent reason... and hey, kids, there's *rarely* a valid reason. It upsets me that people who might have made a valid contribution to a community that I am *proud* to be a part of might be scared off by crap like this.
What we do is never gonna be the most accepted of things. I respect that. I understand that. So surely that's more of a reason to stick together- we have to look out for people attacking from the outside, we can't get screwed over by the people we trust.
I'm nothing to do with the things that have been happening, but people that I respect very much have been hurt by what's been going on, so I thought I'd put in my support here. I'm angry, I'm saddened, but I'm determined to do what I can to show that there *are* people who care.
Sorry kids.
