Let’s inaugurate this journal, shall we?
Feb. 1st, 2019 06:29 pmAfter mulling it over for a certain amount of time, I once again joined the mass migration of fans and got a Dreamwidth account. I’ve been here for less than a week, but I’ve already been gripped by a wave of nostalgia – I became an active participant in fandom communities back in the 00s – and I’m enjoying how old-school it feels. As it is my belief that truth-seeking and catharsis are the very core of all artworks, fannish or not, I had grown weary of how Tumblr culture seems to relinquish it in favor of ostracizing whoever does not align with its policies.
In recent years I’ve been quite the lurking presence online. As a teenager I used to write fanfiction, engage in conversations with other fans, and edit both videos and (terrible) graphics. I don’t know if I’ll be able to become an active contributor again – unfortunately adult life is a time-consuming experience – but I’d surely love to try, the reason why I recently got an AO3 account too.
I’m still undecided about sharing here any life struggle; considering the way I strive for an emotional outlet lately, I might very well do it sooner than later.
I noticed people have policies of sort regarding subscribing and granting access... I still need to familiarize with them, so, when I will have all figured out, I will update this post or write another.
It’s all for now, over and out.
Edit: I figured I will probably follow people back unless they post about things I am not into, just as I will probably grant access to those who grant me access.
