i somehow bet that i’m considered the Chief Racist by some because i write poe/rey and got called the k-slur for it in 5 separate asks (all clearly by the same anon though) last week
oh, no, it might be you, I did attempt to beta a story by you that got posted recently, it could be that. I’ve had so little involvement in fandom lately beyond posting assorted of my own crap, it’s perfectly likely because that’s basically the last thing I did where I attempted to be useful to anyone, pretty much.
Oh no I am super bummed for you. Ohmigod, block, baby, block IPs, block all the IPs. Ugh.
Well, that laid to rest my last worry that this might be a person with any kind of legit beef though. I mean, incoherent people might still have something genuine underlying the problem, but if there’s not even anything underlying it more than a fucking ship preference, I got no time for that.
I wish I’d done a better job beta-ing that story and I wish I had time to reread it! I haven’t read anything over like 2k in for goddamn ever. That was the weirdest part for me about that ask, because I am so uninvolved in fandom, I am so bad about reccing other people and beta-ing and even reaching out for readers for my own stuff, I wish I were closer with so many people, not least you! I’m just not all that outgoing and have no real gifts for making connections and giving back to fandom in useful ways, you know? And it’s winter so most of my brain has crawled down a hole and it’s easier to feel sorry for myself than try to, you know, reach out.
I almost wrote back at first, “Bitch, you think I have friends, you give me way more credit than I deserve” but that would have been so dismissive of the people who’ve been good enough to read and rec and comment on my stuff, when I’d only be meaning it as a self-burn.
Still, though. The fact that my first thought was, “they think I have friends, OMG” indicates to me that I really, really, really ought to try to reach out more and be more generally useful in the fandom, so. Maybe there’s a New Year’s Resolution for me.
