F!S Anon Meme (the Fifth)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

(LJ's still lagging here and there, good luck.)

Personally, I'm an older fan (early forties,) and I come from a really buttoned up family. I was raised to keep myself to myself, basically. I rarely leave comments on fic because I just feel...strange about it. Nothing I type looks right to me. If I try to express what I loved about the story, I am so embarrassed I start to turn red.

I force myself to leave feedback if no one else is commenting or if it's a very rare pairing or fandom and I'm dying for more. But it's a genuine struggle every time, and it never seems to get any easier.

I do feel sorry that it bums authors like you out. I wish I were less self-conscious, believe me. I don't know if you'll think this constitutes a good reason, but it's my reason, anyway.
