1. I agree with you 100%! Hate/loathe/despise etc are such strong words, and I don't think some people realize that when they loudly declare their strong, almost obsessive hate for the character, they're insulting the fans, too.

I've gotten that sort of thing before. I'm a big fan of Cream the Rabbit from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, for instance, but often when I've mentioned her (such as on a forum) I've had people say things like "she should just go die". It's perfectly okay to dislike a character, but some people go way overboard and end up ostracizing a character's fans, too.

13. You're not alone; me too :) It's good to feel proud of your own creations, especially after putting lots of work into their creation.

Edit: Whoops, somehow my brain broke and I missed the "creation" redundancy on 13. Argh.

Also, 18. Please don't be afraid to post on your journal. Venting and putting one's feelings in words are a big part of having a journal, correct? You know you're not doing it for the attention, and you know the tragedy and the grief you feel isn't faked at all. There's nothing that says you can't friends-lock the entry, or even make it completely private, either. It's important that you get all your grief out, as it isn't healthy to leave it all in!

I hope this helps even a little. I hope you're feeling better soon! :)
