Hi! Here from the Latest Posts page; I hope me just jumping in like this is okay.
And I think for me, when I think about what I want my fannish life to look like, what I want more than anything is not to passively observe anymore. I want to engage with the community, whatever that looks like; I want to get into conversations (in THREADED COMMENTS, dammit) and give feedback and kudos and comments. I want to feel the way I felt in the early days of the Tumblr Girl Detectives Reading Club (which I just realized has a dreamwidth we never posted anything in!). I want to be a part of something again. And I look forward to seeing what that looks like.
OMG YES THIS. Like, I loved the ease of reblogging; it was perfect for my no-spoon grad student self. But as sad as I am at all we're losing with the Tumblrpocalypse, I'm really excited to be able to get back to a more community-focused way of doing fandom.
