Ganked from a few people...

-- Fandom is more than the words of its writers, the compositions of its artists. A positive attitude means more than simply ignoring harsh, unnecessary negativity -- we must actively combat it. As a member of fandom, I pledge to share my admiration for every writer, every artist, every mixer, and every reader by leaving positive feedback when I can, and respectful, constructive feedback when I need to. In return, my opinions will be respected and my journal will be a safe place for fandom interaction, no matter what views are shared. --

Circulate and share.

I want to go so far as to leave a comment on every Big Bang that says, "You're amazing! ♥" Because even if I'm not reading it, everyone deserves a congratulations for participating and posting.

Fandom is free. Showing disrespect and entitlement is like showing up to someone's birthday party and demanding they get chocolate cake because you don't like vanilla. Let the birthday girl have her vanilla, promise yourself a slice of chocolate from the grocery store on the way home, and enjoy the company when you can.

Damn, now I want cake.

I am so with you here. I can barely write an LJ post about my own s***, much less craft a story in fandom. No, I don't like all of them and no, not everyone is a stellar writer, but everyone who tries and puts it out there for all to see definitely deserves our respect. I don't comment as much as I should and when I do, I am not usually verbose, but I do appreciate the community. Thanks to all of you for sharing.

Keep it positive!

DAMNIT KELLEIGH Now I want cake, too.

So as much shit as is slung through fandom, I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad I know you. You're funny and amazing and sweet and real, and I wouldn't have you any other way.

Well, maybe if you were a Democrat ... :-P

Thanks; hadn't seen this response (don't get out too much) but I, for one, needed to. I just get tired, some days, holding my head above water. And right now I needed fandom to recharge my batteries... not drain them further.

So thanks again. :)

Seriously. This is exactly what I've been thinking about the whole anonymeme thing. It's degenerated into high school antics now, and disappoints me hugely. This is a wonderfully positive and uplifting attitude and may there be more of it! ♥
