The submissions post for next week is below as usual.
Secrets Left to Post: ?? pages, ??? secrets from Secret Submission Post #296.
Secrets Not Posted: [ 0 - broken links ], [ 0 - not!secrets ], [ 0 - not!fandom ], [ 0 - too big ], [ 0 - repeat ].

I mean, think about it -- what do you want? Do you want to talk to people in fandom? Is that something you care about? If so, you have to talk about something that both of you find interesting or at least something you can fake interest in. If there is absolutely nothing that you share with these people, it's not going to happen. They don't owe you attention just because you want it.
And this isn't kool-aid. Come on. Taking an interest in something other than your own OCs does not make like everyone else in fandom. Not unless you belong to the special snowflake variety of fan who thinks they aught to be appreciated soley for their uniqueness.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-08 02:19 am (UTC)(link)Rather than pretend to be interested in things you don't like, it's far better to find people whom you don't have to pretend for.
TL;DR OP needs better friends, not to force herself to like the stuff they do.

That said, if she is holding out for finding a group of friends who will want to spend all their time talking about her OCs -- that's like wanting a winning lottery ticket. Even among people who like talking about OCs, they aren't going to put up with it all being about her OCs. They are going to want equal time to talk about their own OCs (which probably won't interest the OP any more than shipping does.)
TL;DR the OP has no fandom friends because she has unrealistic expectations.
