Re: Generic Rant Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Feeling discouraged. I've been working so hard over the years and everyone agrees that my work has really improved, but online sales have taken a nosedive and I've been getting a ton of rejections from juried cons when I never used to.

I also feel like I used to be good at making friends online, but lately I either have to censor myself a great deal and it still seems like when I make polite "Hey, would you like my messenger-of-choice info?" I get dropped.

Fandom used to be a fun social outlet, but lately I can't tell if the fandom hole's gotten more square or I've gotten rounder (heh) and things just don't seem to be fitting.

I thought about taking up LARPing again, but the election has brought out the loudmouths speaking about curing the 'liberal disease' that's infected the games (which means anyone left of teabagger, so moderate conservatives count as part of the liberal infection) and as a queer women I really don't feel safe camping out in the woods alone with people like that. I mean odds are good they're all online bark and no bite, but...

It's just discouraging.

Also adding onto the fandom part of the rant.

There was BIG PLOT TWIST predicted and that the previews were hinting at. And fandom was eating it up with a spoon. All the speculation and fanworks were treating it as a done deal. The big bad guy is totally the hero's father, everyone knows that. They're hinting it SO HARD it's the only possible outcome. People were mocking anyone who so much as suggested it might be a fakeout. I was one of those people (mainly because previews have a habit of playing up big dramatic things as fakeouts and keeping the actual twists under wraps)

Surprise surprise it was a fakeout. There was no I Am Your Father reveal. And now everyone is pretending like the months of insisting he WAS his father and anyone who thinks differently is dumb and not a real fan never happened. What? No. Of course he's not his father. Who would think that? It's so dumb. Lets just shove all this father and son related fanwork under the rug and never speak of it.

And I know it's just how fandom works but damnit, I want my cookies for being right all along.
