Why aren't people writing for...?

I really need writers to...!

...fandoms are dying so quickly these days :(

Look at these numbers and tell me if anything comes to mind why that could possibly be the case.

An ungodly amount of people consume and move on. Perhaps a reblog on a lucky day but no interaction with the creator at all. 8 THOUSAND people leaving kudos but only 4 comments? I'm sorry, but that's insane work.

Writers are begging you to interact with them! A simple comment can make our whole day! If you enjoy a story please please please let the author know! Fandom is meant to be shared. Writers don't want to feel like a supermarket aisle where you just take what you want to and leave them empty.

Look, I will be the very first to admit that as a very old and geographically dispersed people, there’s a lot of variance in how Jews approach our religion and culture. The old joke about two Jews having three opinions is not that far off the mark.

However, there is one thing that is basically universal among Jews: circumcision of male infants at birth. The brit milah is a fundamental expression of Jewish identity. It is literally part of our origin story as a people. (See Genesis 17:10–14.)

If you are writing Pitt fanfiction or making Pitt fan art featuring a Dr. Robby who is uncircumcised, please understand that you are erasing his one of the most basic signs of his Jewishness.

It’s also something that is extremely unlikely based on what we’ve seen on the show.

If Robby had an upbringing that was Jewish enough that he said the Shema every day (and learned to cover his eyes during the prayer, as is traditional) as a boy, then it’s all but certain that at least one of his parents had a solidly Jewish upbringing. The probability that he would not have had a brit milah as a newborn is virtually zero.

So, if you choose to portray an uncircumcised Robby, please understand the implications of that choice.
