Hello Bernice, *waves*. Thanks for my video. Cant' watch it yet though. Got no video player. Doh! And I've just spent £90 quid on a second hand armchair and a bed settee, so I can't buy one in the near future either.

Other things
Some people just take things far too seriously for their own good. Soemone should make a docusoap called: When fandom goes bad. It would be about friendly mailing lists that suddenly, and for no reason whatsoever, roil up into a seething vat of bitterness and anger. Shots of people cringing in horror from their computer screens, and others staggering away weeing, or even weeping.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, just to say that various activites in fandoms I am in have left me feeling disillusioned.

Hope you like/can watch the video when/if you finally get a chance.

And yes, lists routinely go into meltdown. It's part of the great cycle of life ;)

Yeah, this happens. :-( I've learnt the hard way to step back and leave if things like that continue. I just want to sit in my little corner and quietly enjoy slashing in a fandom of my choice. If I can't do that any more, then I walk away. I have enough sources of stress elsewhere in my life without getting them in my R&R time as well.
