FANDOM POSITIVITY MEME: Do something positive for fandom today. It will be fun. It will make you happy.

Suggestions:

1. Leave a long, glowing comment on someone else's fic or art.

2. Post meta about things you love about fandom in your LJ.

3. Create fic or fanart just for the joy of doing it.

4. Tell someone you secretly fangirl how much you love their work.

5. Rhapsodise about what you love about your favourite pairing.

6. ???

I'm a little busy at work at the moment, but maybe I can cook something up... of course, the people I fangirl, I think maybe they know that I do (nehalenia? hi there!) and "just for the joy of doing it" is still fraught with terror for me since I am so latched onto others' approval... and I think the rhapsody about Severus/Sirius has already been posted in the past, lol. Anyway, just wanted to pass it on.

"Just for the joy of doing it" is the only reason I write fanfic. :-D For that matter, it's the only reason I write anything. Here I write, I can do no other. But I can empathize with the fear of disapproval; it took me years to stop trying to get approval from certain people in my life. I finally realized it's a quest with no end and no winning.
