Damn.

I keep wanting to talk about writing, but Tumblr isn't the place because nobody gives a shit, Facebook isn't the place because that's not where I do fandom, and LJ isn't the place because nobody is in my fandoms. 100k+ words in 3 fandoms which virtually none of my friends are in. Whee.

And before anyone says "you can still talk about it, I'll read it" well yes, but that's the same as talking to friends about stuff that only interests you. They'd smile and nod but can't share your enthusiasm, which makes you feel guilty about wasting their time and the whole exercise pretty pointless anyway.

I don't feel guilty about talking to my fangirl friends about things that interest me - just like I don't feel my time has been wasted if they talk about things that interest them! I think it's interesting hearing about what new things people are into!

I know the feeling. I have a friend who's very open to just about anything, so I can usually get her into my fandoms but I don't see her very often. My roommate is also very open and humors me by listening and relating to my woes for fandoms, but he doesn't get into them himself so it's not the same.

Times like that, it'd be nice if you could split yourself in two. Then you'd never be left wanting.

On a side note, I finally acquired Fire Emblem, so I look forward to reading your 'Pretender' story once I finish the game.

I wouldn't necessary say it would be a waste of your time, it's just that other than topics that can be verified upon reading said post I can't go much further into it because I lack knowledge.

But I know what you mean, in my Portuguese blog whenever I ramble about drag queens no one gives two flying turds to whatever I'm rambling, those posts remain uncommented unless it's a music video that someone can "Ah, funny!", or makeup, whenever I ramble about makeup no one gives two turds either.

Yeah I do know the feeling, it's pretty rough. And tumblr is like this weird trap where it's like AH! OTHER PEOPLE WHO LIKE THINGS I LIKE! and then somehow it's impossible to have conversations about anything.

I hear you. Very very much so.
