I've been full of meta recently. Which surprises me, because I'm all '...blargh, only fun fandom stuff here! Wheee!'. But fandom does have a very serious side with real life repercussions, and it needs be addressed.
My biggest thing has always been RP, I think, just because I've been involved in it for so long. And it's the most social aspect of fandom that I participate in, so it's where the most social dynamics come into play.
Fandom reputation is something I've stopped caring about, just because...eh. I know my reputation among my friends is a good one, and that's all that matters to me. I used to be the same way, and I wouldn't say a lot of things publicly, but I've realized now that there are so many people who share those private views that I've stopped that. I'll put anything out there, now, and I'm generally glad when I do. :D
I sort of had a feeling this was coming. If it's not fun, it's not fun. And I'll admit I will miss your Scar like burning and I doubt we'll ever have another one who could match him, but you have to do what you feel is best for you. And if your heart isn't in it, your heart isn't in it, and that's seriously all there is too it.
(I do have just a couple of teeny, tiny requests for the actual dropping, just so the whole IC ordeal isn't as horribly terrible as it could be, if that's okay?)
