Obstinately cheerful

[sholio]

I woke up this morning feeling very ... obstinately cheerful, I guess you'd say. It's my inner contrarian, I guess -- I'm tired of being miserable in fandom. It's not making me happy, and I realized in one of the other threads I was involved in yesterday that your fandom experience really is one that you make yourself, which has always kinda been my motto anyway. I've been perfectly happy in fandoms in which I was the only gen writer and the entire rest of the fandom seemed to be watching a different show than me, and I've been perfectly happy in fandoms in which the entire canon sucked in ways that SGA can only aspire to (I wrote over 200,000 words of Dragonball Z fanfic, for crying out loud!), so given that there is still a fully functional fandom and plenty of people interested in keeping it that way, I'm tired of sitting around whingeing about it.
