Fandom is driving me insane. I feel like unsubbing from almost all of my lists. Because there's so much drivel and I usually delete 90% of what comes into my inbox. The only lists I still read are SA-Talk and anything on RS-X or musicianslash that's interesting.

HP4GU has disappointed me. The name alone -- 'grown-ups'. And the anti-fanfic party.

Most of the fanfic lists are 2/3rd one-liners lately. I'm on digest on HPslash and I only skim the subjects to see if there's more Protective Bonds or Irresistable Poison, and because I'm still not sure if I'mna post The Game or not. I would unsub from RareSlash, but ... I can't; despite everything, it's still my baby. It feels like I'm contemplating ripping off my arm or something. Even though I haven't actually moved or even felt said arm in nearly a year.

LiveJournal is such an easier way to be involved in fandom. I get to chose people I like to hear from, there's no annoying one-line responses cluttering up my inbox, and I know for a fact there's no one on my friends list who will condemn me for my RPS-ness or my love of puppies.

I don't know. I think what I really want is a forum for my original stories with the same sort of 'feel' as good slash list. I was hoping OriginalSlash would be that, but it isn't and I'm not sure how to fix it.

Maybe I'll try that. Tomorrow, I'll unsub from all but a select few fandom lists, and look for good general writing lists, and try to re-launch OriginalSlash.

New pastures! Here I come.

I'd elaborate, but I'm sleep-deprived to the point of incoherence at the moment.

Yep. Was hoping it'd take me more than four years to become desillusioned, you know?
