I'm happily participating in the Fic Positivity Meme, as both reader and writer, and it's—super nice, of course! But also it's reminded me of how much less stressful Dreamwidth conversations are.

I can talk to people without worrying about exposing them to my followers, most of whom I know nothing about. I can talk to people without worrying about exposing myself to followers! So I'm not constantly re-writing simple posts, I'm not stuck vagueblogging because I'm annoyed but I don't want to be responsible for a dogpile, etc. And of course there's f-lock, all glory to it.

And icons. Always icons.

But mostly, I'm not second-guessing everything I say, and—yeah. Nice.

Awesome meme! I love the idea of fanfic writers receiving positive feedback, specially when sometimes critics can be a bit harsh. I may try to check a look and comment your fics to give my opinion if I can, but I really love the sentiment behind this meme!

Thank you very much!

And yes, I was just *heart-eyes* quite apart from people being nice to me personally (which you all have been <3). It's just so nice and so well-executed.

It's also something that, I think, definitely highlights the differences between Tumblr and DW as platforms. It'd be much more high-pressure and much harder to follow on Tumblr, where this is nice and pleasant and is actually being managed.
