Dealing With Toxic Fandoms (A SYL Extra)
Added 2017-12-28 15:34:06 +0000 UTCI got an interesting Tumblr ask and thought, well, actually, this would make a pretty good video topic! And so here we are.
Happy almost new year, everyone!

Good advice! I love that you got a title-drop in at 1.08.

2017-12-29 15:00:45 +0000 UTCThis is a great message - and those are great earrings! I've been incredibly lucky in my fandom encounters in that they've always been really positive and fandom has only affected my life in helpful and empowering ways.

2017-12-29 13:47:20 +0000 UTCI’m glad you enjoyed the video :) And I know what you mean about fanartists, I read Girls Next Door on Deviantart and it’s SO beautiful now. I mean it was always good but it’s been a lot of years and now the artist is amazing. Happy new year!

2017-12-29 07:32:03 +0000 UTCHey! Well...possibly, but not in my case. I’m generally not popular enough for anyone to bother. I just decided to take my own advice: when you’re not having fun any more, stop. And I wasn’t having fun, so I stopped. :) Twitter has turned into a compulsive time suck rather than something I genuinely enjoyed spending time on, so I’ve deleted it. For now at least! (I appreciate the thought though, thank you)

2017-12-28 19:48:46 +0000 UTCThis is definitely something I wish to take to heart as this new year approaches. The year is too long and life is too short for me to stay angry at something that may never change. Thank you for the advice! Something I thoroughly enjoy is seeing someone's fanart improve after so many weeks or months of posting their work and hearing the positive feedback. :)
