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.)

2. Possibly tying into your point 1, it could be that people are having just as much fun, it's just that the fun is more decentralized and therefore less easy to stumble across. Paradoxically, having tags on every platform can make it harder to find the things you might be interested in, because they allow for decentralization but have their own limitations (misuse, overuse, tags that don't even necessarily work properly in tumblr's case, etc).

I mean, I run a tumblr where I essentially RP a character from one fandom reviewing and analyzing the canon of another fandom. I made it entirely to amuse myself and my best friend, and so far we are both having a blast, and I even have a couple additional followers. Seriously, fandom has never been so much fun for me.
