This Site Is Dying

And I don't care.

I've been here for probably close to six years ad while it was way more active in previous years, it still feels like home to me. I don't have many friends. I stay out of trouble. I read when I can and post what I can. That's about it and that's what I've always done.

Everyone is complaining about inactivity or fan fiction being childish, or the admins being rude, yada yada yada, and I think herein lies the problem. A lot of users only care about the people rather than the writing. More readers, more subs, more comments, so the site "dying" doesn't sit well with them. Whatever.

I've been saying that I only write for myself, but that's still a bit of a lie but only because I stress out about posting ("I haven't written enough in this fic so should I post it?" "This probably won't be very popular, so what's the use?") Well, screw that. I'm officially using mibba for my benefit and by saying that, I'm choosing to post whatever I want (story-wise) whenever I want. If I have a story idea that only has a prologue, I'm doin' it, even if it doesn't pan out.

So yeah. I just... wanted to say that. Ehem.

(also, as for my mention of admins, I've never even had a bad run-in with them, so I'm not really complaining. I've just seen a lot of it.)

Anyway, life is moving on. On a Marvel binge because I finally got around to watching The Winter Soldier EEEEEEE.

Still doin' my therapy thang.

Thinking about a volunteer job at a nearby science museum.

Still pretty fired up about Ferguson and Garner.

Pretty ready for Christmas break so my friends will be home, even though it just means that we're gonna be stoned 24/7. Also going to Louisiana for a wedding and, like, actual Christmas which means about the same thing.

But yeah, hope everyone is doing well. I'm gonna go back to writing now.
