I should be asleep since I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon but I stumbled across ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fandomsecrets today. Most of these are probably lolz and I accept that. But seriously, fandom, are you really so insecure and anonymous-loving that you have to resort to putting your wangst/hate into pictographic form to bitch? And the general RP whining irritates me for one main reason: RPs ARE NOT FANDOM! They are an extension of fandom yes and may have their own followings but you just can't compare them with the series they are based on. That said, I love RPs and have some great fun with them, but if you spend this much time worrying about an RP (to bitch at it or otherwise talk about how it's ruined your life) you really do need to get out more.
The only thing I've ever regretted about RPing is you can't have it both ways if you're out of school. You can't RP and write original fiction. Well maybe you can if you're better at managing your time. I can't. I need to prioritize but I have too much fun. I figure as long as I've got a job, it's not like I'm completely failing at life. So yeah Nicky, Luce and Erik continue to remain screwed. I continue to have nothing close to an ending for them. And I have no idea when I'll actually begin the story for Ari, San and Isis, despite my thousands of ideas.
The ramblings of this post are exactly why I shouldn't LJ when I'm half-coherent, stressed to the max and going to be AWOL for the next few days.
Also, I hate fandom's obsession with sex and say so OPENLY. You, my friend, are a pussy. Posting to a community that operates on anonymity and "honesty" doesn't make this any less true.
