[Picture is five thick, old-looking books standing together on a shelf or stand.]

Dear fandom friend,

We've known each other forever and I appreciate the support you've given me from the very beginning. Real life has been busy for us both and I just want to tell you that you do not have to keep promising to read my fanfic. It's sweet of you to reassure me you'll read/review as soon as possible, but you haven't done it in years and I wish you'd just quit bringing it up now because it's super awkward.

Post script: I'm still your friend and you're still awesome.

[Picture is Zevran Arainai from the videogame "Dragon Age: Origins" and Isabela from "Dragon Age: Origins" and "Dragon Age II". Zevran is an elf with olive skin with a yellowish tint to it. He has long blond hair slicked back and is wearing gray and white armored tunic and carrying a sword on his back. He has a couple of scars or marks on his left cheek, going down from beside his eyebrow to almost reaching his jaw. He has bright brown? eyes. Isabela is a human with dark olive skin, orange eyes, medium-length dark hair reaching her shoulders and pulled back with a blue bandanna, wearing a sort of very wide golden necklace covering most of her neck, with a turquoise-colored stone in the middle and possibly a second necklace hanging on her chest, made of some golden metal and consisting of various oval and circular shapes with some pictures in them put together. She is wearing a metallic shoulder guard and a white blouse of sorts with a low neck and no sleeves, large metallic oval earrings, a piercing beneath her lower lip, dark eye makeup, and she is also carrying weapons on her back, only two identical yellow handles with dark lines like the veins in a leaf can be seen.]

I hope Dragon Age: Inquisition continue the tradition of allowing the main character the opportunity to be double-teamed by Zevran and Isabela.

[Picture is black and red text over a blank white background.]

I hate cross-overs. "Welcome to the last house of how to train your teen hobbit lord of the tangled guardians superwhohannilockstuckvengerstrek".

[Picture is two human legs of olive color, one of them shaved and the other one still sporting bodily hair.]

Whenever I write fic in a medieval world where no one would shave their legs, I take great pleasure in describing that the women do have hairy legs and that they and their sexual partners like it.

[Picture is a humanoid figure next to a small vehicle (a workpod) standing on a the nacelle wings of a galaxy class starship from the TV show "Star Trek: The Next Generation", possibly the Enterprise. The figure is overlooking a planet with the sun rising behind it.]

I used to get so angry with fics I didn't agree with that I wrote rants about them in my journal, ruined several friendships and created wank when they were copy-pasted to the authors...

Now I take anti-depressant and see a therapist and I can back-button calmly and move on. I wish I could apologise for being such a jerk.

[Picture is blue text on a blank black background.]

I saw that secret about Sam Winchester and the Original Poster's love for his character, and it annoyed me to no end to see everyone bandwagon bagging on the Original poster for their secret. Not only that, but folks calling them a troll to boot.

And of course, it goes right into the Dean stans making stuff about how Dean needs to be happy, because fuck Sam, right? Because Dean's really the star of a show that's about two brothers, right?

I'm a Sam fan, too, and I was thrilled to see that secret, because I thought I was the only one that loved RoboSam, the demon story line, and Sam doing things away from Dean. Don't get me wrong, the brothers need one another and need to work together more often than not, but I enjoy their time apart, too.

So, it really irks me when I see folks automatically downing the single other person that doesn't automatically equate anything non Dean-centered as a bad time in Sam's life. I think that if folks would notice, Sam felt bad about the stuff he did and what *Azael* made him into because DEAN was always giving him shit about it. You know, despite the fact that Dean is a freaking hypocrite that messes up just as much as (if not more!) Sam. Only, Sam doesn't give Dean nearly as hard a time about it.

[Picture is an image of the touchscreen controller of the videogame console called "Wii U". It has a large screen with the logo of the console, a joystick and a directional pad on the left. and some other scattered buttons on the right.]

I want the Wii U to bomb hard so that Nintendo eats hubris-cake, like Sony did. And comes back stronger and wiser from it, like Sony did.

[Picture is Spock and Kirk from the older Star Trek version. They are standing looking at each other in a desert place. Spock has lightly tanned light skin, short black hair and is wearing a warm-looking white coat, the fluffy kind for a cold climate. Kirk has light skin that looks burned and a few scrapes on his forehead, short dark hair, and is wearing a white shirt and a red suit jacket or sweater?]

I wish I could find just ONE good Kirk/Spock fic where having sex during pon farr *doesn't* result in a super-duper mystical automatic permanent mindlink bond that the author spends one thousand words describing even though it's entirely unneeded. I have nothing against the trope per se, but what, is them getting together with their *own* emotions as the focus and with their minds intact not special enough?

[Picture is a cover of the book "Herovit's World" by Barry N. Malzberg. It features a naked golden man coming out of a typewriter machine in the middle of a desert.]

I think the writer I read OBSESSIVELY when I was young has turned into an older version of HIM.

Bonus secret: I really hate this cover.

[Picture is the cast of the TV show "Teen Wolf". They are all young-looking people, one of them a man with short dark hair and light olive skin, another a woman with long wavy brown hair and light skin, another a man with short way dark hair and light olive skin, another a woman with light skin and long wavy black hair and another a lightly older man with light olive skin and short black hair, all standing and looking dramatically at the camera in front of a dark forest.]

About a month before this show really took off, I almost submitted a secret about feeling like the only one who loved it. I didn't, and then it got huge, and now I feel like this: [picture of one of the characters with glowing red eyes and huge fangs coming out of his widely open mouth]

I want to be a trend-setter, just once... That's lame, I know.

[Picture is the cover image of the podcast "Welcome to Night Vale", featuring a purple sky, a crescent moon as part of a sinister eye, a water tower, a phone or electrical pole, and a house or barn with an antenna on it.]

I'm so disappointed that I can't get into this series. It sounds so cool but the lack of visuals makes me lose interest immediately.

[Picture is Ben Stiller and the logotype of the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty". Ben Stiller is a man with olive skin, short dark hair, and some light scratch-like wounds around his face. He is looking worriedly to the side, while wearing a dark blue tie, a light blue shirt and a light gray jacket or coat. He is standing next to a car on a street.]

I don't understand why this movie is getting so much hype. I watch the trailer and it wasn't half as epic or emotional as everyone is making it out to be. I've seen people say their world-view has been changed from watching the trailer. I just found it kind of... meh.
