because i'm slow...

[thehallway]

...i forgot to squee! i have a shiny, new layout courtesy of grrliz and her greatness. it even came with a great tutorial and everything. :)

it was a lovely day today, sun shining and warm, and it was friday even if that means my break is almost over and i'm faced with going back to school on monday. i just have so much to do. oy. i'm worse than the kids.

and i'm feeling kinda antsy and between chairs as it were, feeling out of love with my fannish pursuits and a dead/dying/dysfunctional fandom and looking for something else to engage me.

any suggestions?

feeling out of love with my fannish pursuits and a dead/dying/dysfunctional fandom and looking for something else to engage me.

i'm feeling a bit the same myself lately, fannishly-numb, i guess. the love's there, maybe just closed-off.

for me, i try to write little pieces of fic to jump start again. right now i'm kind of stuck between gears.

i wonder if it has to do with the length of time i've spent in my fandom; ten years is a long time. and i also wonder if it has to do with there only being one major site that is still actively (if you count the half dozen or so active posters out of two thousand members as active) being so...mired in the minutiae.

i suppose it's my fault. i have a friend who deserted the fandom and the site over two years ago who is happy she did and never looked back who continually asks why i'm still there. i really don't have a good answer except that i'm a creature of habit and don't manage the transitions or do the in-between well.

i also wonder if hanging around a fandom in its death throes can taint you view of the source material. i find that i like the show less the more i'm around that site and those fans.

but you're right. we should both write something. :)
