flyboy_fox'Kay, I'm just gonna out with this now, because... well... I'll explain in a minute.
I identify as Otakin. Fictionkin. Mediakin. Whatever-the-heck you wanna call it.
Okay, there. Out of the way.
The reason I'm bringing this up is because it's come to my attention that some people on my friendslist may still be of the mindset that all Fic'kin are fail and should be locked up in mental institutes. And this saddens me, because I think the majority of people on my FL probably don't think I'm fail and need mental help. Or at least, didn't until my revelation back there.
Fact is, I've never hidden it from anyone. My journal is just... my journal. In my user info it states quite clearly that I'm 'Fictionkin'. And the communities I belong to are listed right there; no attempts to hide them behind sock-puppets. It's not some dirty hidden secret. It's just... part of who I am. I don't feel the need to talk about it much. Although I do have a filter for Fic'kin stuff... I've used it maybe three times EVER in all the years I've been on LJ. My life isn't different from anyone else's just because I have unusual beliefs.
Do I sometimes wish I could write more openly about Fic'kin stuff? Sure... just occasionally. But not enough to warrant making a separate LJ for it, and not important enough to risk alienating my friends. I'm happy with the balance I have.
But I'm making this post on the off-chance that anyone feels like I'm a mental headcase who needs locking up and therefore wishes to take me off their friends list. I won't be offended. I'll return the favor and we can all just get on with our lives.
For anyone else - I'll try to get those photos of my new gear up very very soon :) Ciao for now!
