Like everyone else, I read this and automatically went: "Jesus, how fucking conceited can you be?" But after some good thinking on it, as well as reading all the other responses, I kind of realize that this is a secret comm and it's almost admirable that people can be brutally honest, as ugly and selfish as that honesty may be. (After all, people, the point of a secret-sending-in-service is for people to be able to be honest. If you scare honesty away, then what's the fun of a secret-comm anymore? It'll be washed-out. :( That was the fun of PostSecret in the first place--no one ever gave feedback on secrets, so people were able to send in terrible, shameful things without being directly judged.)

I know that there are some incredibly ugly fandom-related truths about myself that I want to get off my chest very badly, but am afraid of posting because I know my friends watch this comm and might recognize the similarities. :( So I can kind of sympathize with your secret's situation, if not the sentiment. Because seriously, prettiest girl in fandom? What the fuck?

Then again, that's not half as bad as some of my secrets that I'll never find the courage to post, so perhaps I shouldn't talk.

Anyway, after my tl;dr ramble, my point is: Things have been getting way mean lately. Ease up, people--even on the seemingly retarded. :(

Oh, and to clarify, I mean things have been getting way mean at the comm in regards to secrets in general, not just this one. This one and the response to it just catalyzed the rant.

Thank you for understanding.

It's a bad secret and not something I'm proud of at all, but everyone's got at least one just as bad. It'd really be nice for people to get off their high horses.

I'm glad I posted because the acknowledgement helps me get past it. Maybe you would all do yourselves a favor by letting something that actually matters out in the public.

Er, glad we understand each other, but what do you mean by that bit? XD;

Oh, I realized after I posted it that that could be taken the wrong way, but anonymous does not forgive, nor does it have an edit function.

I meant like, the majority of secrets here are not the darkest fandom secrets of one's heart, and that's totally understandable. I posted my deepest secret, however. I don't think I really have anything else this bad.

Ohhh, I got you. And yeah, true about unforgiving anon. :(

Sadly.

I'm not the anon OP, but yeah. It was really more the way you worded that secret than the secret itself, I think. It kinda stepped out of ordinary fandom boundaries (like, people here usually don't flame each other for their fandom tastes or anything) and went into "I think I'm prettier than all of you IRL" which hey, you might mean and stuff, but the reaction of "wtf" from everyone else (even me who's not even competition 'cause I'm not a girl *dies*) is kinda expected, you know?

Yeah, I totally understand that. I may think I'm pretty, but the superlative prettiest was just kinda hyperbole for effect.

I expect and blame myself for the responses, but the thing that got me was the vitriol from a couple of people.

In any case, it's cool <3
