Thoughts on fandom and feedback

[zubeneschamali]

This is kind of ironic given the comment I left in the post, but you should all go check out dugindeep's discussion of feedback and fandom and what's happening to both: http://dugindeep.livejournal.com/438044.html. I know LJ isn't completely dead; I still have multiple posts on personal and fic topics per day on my screen. So what can we do to make it more lively and ensure artists and authors keep producing?

Thanks for linking this! I've spent this summer basically convincing myself that it is not my job to make fandom a good place, or a place I actually want to be, and accepting that it is going to feel isolating and frustratingly shitty 50% of the time--and TBH that's working out for me pretty well, idk. XD Mostly. But I'm also definitely interested to hear what other people's takes are, and we how people are feeling about this.

Well, I feel bad for not commenting on your posts more often, as one of the people who is still quite active on my flist. Because it's all of our jobs, together, and I need to be better at it!
