It's all a matter of perspective

First off, I'm still wading through the backlog and as that will take a while, I'm going to post now anyway.

Re the strikethough: While I don't agree with how Six Apart handled things, it's not like I've never fucked up. Since they've apologized and reinstated the fannish journals, I'm fine with that.

I will make a backup of this journal (once the rush is over) and I did make a Greatest Journal with my same handle. I doubt I'll use it unless this community dries up, which I hope it doesn't. And I joined fandom_count.

And I'm not going to lock up this journal. That doesn't fit in with how I define fandom--which is about sharing. Not that I'm that interesting, but still.... I hate that WFI can make so many fans go hide.

What effects me more is being unsubbed by a doctor who group. They unsubbed everyone because of a few bad apples and now you have to be vouched for by someone else before they will let you back in. Well golly gee, even though I always thanked people, I doubt I'll ever be let back in because 1) I don't know anyone on that list, and 2)I don't "participate" enough. Now mind you, I just got home from MediaWest where I sat in a few panels about Torchwood, but I bet traveling two thousand miles to rub shoulders with other fans doesn't count towards participation. You know? To me, this fannish unsubbing is a lot more unfair. I'm left to try to join other groups who may not be so exclusive.

Fans that take content from fandom but refuse to share are not my favorite people, that's for sure.

I guess we just sit and wait about getting resubbed to one of those groups. Are you wanting both Doctor Who and Torchwood? That's what I'm after.

normally the torchwood stuff is part of the doctor who groups too right??? I watch both. :)

Yep. I was getting download sites for both shows from doctorwho_eps. Very handy.

And so we wait....
