Just so you know, you have been one of the kindest people in the fandom that I have encountered. I know that I am not the only one who feels that way. You have made a difference to so many people both those who are established and those who are starting out. You are always willing to lend an ear or a helping hand, quick with a kind word or a funny remark. You are so very loved and appreciated in this fandom and I hope you know the importance you hold in so many people’s lives.

ooc; Thank you.  I appreciate this message a ton.  I honestly hate it when I see people that feel left out and try to be there for everyone.  As i-want-my-iwtv has said, there’s enough of a divide with the “People of the Page” and the rest of the fandom.  No need for any more cracks.  It’s too hard to have tensions.  It’s much easier to let bygones be bygones, get along and just be kind to one another.

I started this thing when I was twelve or thirteen that I challenge myself to make at least one person laugh a day, because then I know that even for an instant, I’ve brought someone some joy.  That’s what makes life worth living.

A happy thought for this hump day

“You is kind.  You is smart.  You is important.” –The Help

Every single one of the people in this fandom is important.  Let’s work on loving one another and supporting each other in this crazy endeavor called fandom.  We are a small group and we are passionate and with as much hell as Anne Rice puts us through, we do not need to be adding to the pain.  

Your challenge for the day is to tell someone in the fandom just how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them.  Send a quick ask and make someone’s day.

DO THIS. 

The only division we should have is between us and the People of the Page (although we’ve proven that we can even coexist w/ them online and in RL group settings; they were amicable at the booksigning I went to in Oct ‘13).
