I  hope you don’t mind but I’m publishing this so people understand the anxiety.

Yes you are right people can discuss things and I can’t control that; but now we have social media and that changes everything.  Social media can be a wonderful and positive thing.  It brings people together; provides a safe place for people to talk about things they can’t safely talk about at home; helps people feel a part of a group rather than the weird outsider.

But it’s also a place where people use it focus on negativity; gathering people to talk about things they hate; bully; and destroy.

For any creator be it movies, books, music etc., social media can help or completely obliterate everything you work for.  There are many book review sites and book bloggers that act not unlike Rotten Tomatoes.  And people rely on what they say as being the truth.  There is no that’s just their opinion.  What they say is the guiding force. If Blogger ABC rips apart your book in a literary analysis and makes fun of it or tells their audience how “problematic” it is, that artist is done.  Might as well toss your books into a fire.

The same thing happens in fandom.  I’ve seen it happen.  Bloggers on tumblr make decisions they are going to make fandom better and after a lot of people are hurt, ripped apart, ridiculed and accused - they are tried and found guilty by the blogger and their followers. 

So you see, social media makes a difference.  You cannot just create without thinking about who consumes it.  You have to protect yourself and your work and figure out how to release that work and who to release it to who won’t destroy you.  Because that’s the problem with writing or any art.  You’re putting yourself out there for someone to rip your work to pieces because that’s what people think it’s their job to do.  It’s what they’re taught in school now.  They must rip it apart, to consume the art.  It used to be about consuming the whole and how it made you feel.  But as I have learned, that’s an old fashioned concept.

As much as I want to write from an emotional place and what feels right to me or do things that feel right to me, I can’t.  Modern audiences won’t consume my products that way.  They will dissect it into components and judge each component and not the whole.  I’ve seen it too many times on tumblr and a few other sites.

Basically, I am old fashioned and don’t do that so it makes it harder for me.  I don’t dissect, analyze or judge that way.  When someone asks me to identify (insert literary term here) I stare at my screen and get upset because I don’t know how to do that.

You’ve definitely come to the right place! We love to read about the other characters too. 

I'll add my voice toy alredy said. It's really worth watching. Tom Elis's accent is a gift and his singing is huge bonus. Main ship have great chemistry, there are many quite well developed female characters, they skipped many overused relationship tropes. It's really fantastic that show with main character from hell is so mild nd respectfull. Try to watch pilot, it has all answers to your questions, really.

WATCH IT MY FRIEND!!! the first season is a bit rough to get around, but it's fun .. but the second season has me suffering and filled with anxiety because everything is just happening so much and the fact that i am hoping the devil gets the girl, should tell you how this show is messing with me lol .. and isn't it funny how even though the devil is the main character, there is no cheating ..it's like, a male character doesn't have to be a complete wanker (take notes dt)

I thinks it's really good. Tom Ellis has his english accent. Great characters and plot.

I like to have some image, but for me it’s less about colors (hair-eyes-skin, you know?) and more about shape and feel, so - age, height, build, and may be one or two distinct features - what you would notice first if you meet them

I really don’t see Doctor doing it. It’s to painfull, he’s too hurt. And anyway he has full Rose’s room in Tardis of mementoes and memories. But I totally see Jack doing it after finding their names in the lists of casualties..and it’s soooo sad too.

Yeah, I like reading about him doing it but idk if he actually would.

The Doctor shoots Jack what is probably intended to be a scathing look. Unfortunately for him, any intimidating effect is mitigated by the absolutely ludicrous effect of the too-large flower crown sliding lower on his head. His ears, in the end, are the only thing that keep it from sliding off his head and down around his neck. theladyro asked “I always wondered what kind of god the 9th Doctor would make. I mean that cliche when they land on a planet where he fits the description of their god…” (Fill #11 for my 2013 fic advent calendar).

“Stop it,” the Doctor says harshly, as he adjusts the circlet of yellow flowers perched on his head. Rose, who has not stopped laughing since the moment she entered the room several minutes ago, is entirely too busy howling with mirth to pay him any mind. “Never,” she chokes out, around a helpless giggle. “I am never gonna stop laughin’ about the fact that you’re wearin’ a yellow flower crown and a big gold dress.” “It’s not a dress,” the Doctor insists, indignantly. “It’s a – a full-body ceremonial sash.” He waves his arms, which are still encased in leather, even if his jacket, jumper, and jeans are mostly hidden by a sweeping, expansive swath of marigold fabric. “I do not wear dresses.” He pauses for a moment before amending, “At least not recently.”

Also, last year I lost some followers because of the few birthday wishes I got, so just in case, I'm going to tag them all as 'birthday wishes'.

I love you all guys.
