How about that cricket?!

Decided that I'm going to take a break from fandom. I'll read a little, beta for lizbee, keep an eye on zendom and post my redux fic, but other than that - I'm fandom wiped out.

Why? Well there are a few reasons. First of all, I think that the West Wing fandom has officially died. The stories that are coming out aren't that great, or are mid season, so I can't read them. Feedback is minimal. People are sick of politics and don't want to write or read about it. As much as I enjoy Harry Potter and my other fandoms, I* love West Wing more, and I'm sad to see it die.

Also, I'm very sick of the Harry Potter fandom. I'm sick of the self congratulary tone in many message boards and LJ communities. I'm tired of being on the edge because I didn't start writing at the very beginning. I'm tired of dictatorial archives who say they're just trying to subdue the teeny boppers but still allow copious amounts of crap to exist on their archives.

Lastly, I just have no new ideas. None. I'm sick of Tearstains. Tired of CJ/Toby. Don't care whether Hawkeye and Margaret ever get together or not.

In conclusions - I'm just a Bitter Old Fic Queen.

You're sick of tearstains???
Well... ok then.
But I am eagerly waiting your return to fandom. Since you are one of about 5 people whose works I actually bother to read

We've all been there in some form or another. I've come close to chucking the whole thing more than once recently.

Just one note. Please don't post your redux fic until after the deadline. Just send it to me.

Thanks.

Now you can fist shake so well, I will join you in the shaking of fists at fandoms and go to sleep. I'll just dance for OotP and the CoS DVD!

Carry on then. *g*
