Apr. 19th, 2025 10:52 pmI have to write more DW entries because I can too-easily see posts I wrote in 2010, a time and a place I do not care to revisit!
I'm still interested in doing something I wanted to do for Check, Please! but never quite had the guts to go through with – writing real fic reviews. Engaging in a text in an analytical fashion is how I actually know what I think and feel about the text, but this kind of real engagement is no longer de rigueur in fandom spaces, at least as far as I can tell. But reading is often hard for me and – at least as of right now – this kind of ongoing critical engagement is the only way I can reliably respond to texts.
That said, I don't want to breach fandom etiquette...but then again, DW provides the kind of filtering tumblr simply cannot. Maybe that's how I'll try to get back into using DW after so many years away from this style of blog.
P.S. After fifteen years, I also changed the style of this blog. (Very brave.)
