Am safe and sound. Yay.

Also, can I just say that due South has ruined me for other fandoms?

I used to be used to getting only one or two pieces of feedback per story. Now, it is a very disappointing thing. I mean, I was never happy with the fact. I was just inured to it.

(This is, of course, in reference to the pinch hit I wrote for Multiverse 2005, for which the names have not yet been revealed. It's very cool set of stories all around, though, you should check it out.)

You have no idea of how much of a jerk I feel like. It's not that I'm not equally horrified by current events, it's just that I feel nothing I can say could possibly encompass the magnitude of events, or measure up to the eloquence and pointed anger exhibited by so many on my flist.

So, you know, it isn't just that dS is the Best Fandom Ever.
It might also be that it's possible the story just isn't that good. *G* I reread it recently, and I am no longer as happy with it as I was before.

Oh, no! No, I'm not saying you're a jerk. I see nothing wrong with thinking of fic and fandom and so on. Frankly, if we all think about this all the time we'll lose our minds.

I was just pointing out a problem I've been having with the Multiverse, which is: I'm right at my limit of human tragedy, both personally and...nationally? Hmmm. Anyway, I've already been crying randomly, I'm already very emotionally labile. I just can't handle tragic or dark fic right now, and I don't want to take the risk of encountering it unexpectedly. This is kind of sad, because normally I love blind reading. But in Multiverse, I'm waiting for the author reveal, so that at least I have a *little* more knowledge going into the stories.

And I figure other people may be doing the same - poking at the blind fic a bit more cautiously because they're emotionally over-extended. Hence, you know, less feedback.
