F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


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.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

i love homestuck a lot but my fannish activities were almost exclusively on the Internet until a few weeks ago when i attended a homestuck meetup in my area

it was a huge mistake. people were rude and obnoxious, the people organizing the event were unprepared and ultimately we were asked to leave our venue. it was a nightmare and i was made so uncomfortable that i left three hours early.

the problem is that now i cannot participate in the homestuck fandom without thinking of the event! whenever i see eridan all i smell is bo and it just grosses me out. has anybody else dealt with this kind of thing? or has anyone had any experiences like this?

That's unfortunate. I have been to some Homestuck meetups that were really fun but RL fandom activities are usually a mix of really cool and horribly awkward. I'm sorry it affected you so strongly and I hope you have some positive experiences in the future.
