Apr. 11th, 2020 11:36 amI was going to wait until I'd tweeted 9,000 Tweets before I stopped, so I could say my power level was over 9,000, but I'm just sick of it. A parade of other people's pain and fury, every damn day, and I keep pressing the switch because my brain craves the Bad Chemicals or something. It doesn't matter what the last straw was. None of it fucking matters. Despite how the world seems sometimes, not everyone is on Twitter - hardly anyone is - and the state of being experienced by the terminally Online, in which we're either permanently outraged by the world-as-is or cruising around looking for noses to rub in it or barfing out vacuous dribble because it's a coping mechanism, is not a healthy or even a default state for human beings to live in.
Facebook would go if my work and gaming group didn't use it to co-ordinate and if the phone signals weren't jank around here. Sadly, I need to contact people in real time and Messenger is still the most reliable way to do it. I have a particular loathe on for the Facebooksphere at the moment because of all the Twitter and Tumblr screencaps people barf onto it, filling up another feed with the kind of crap I left other platforms to get away from.
Talking of people filling up the Internet with crap, I wrote a whole chapter of The Fic this week and it's now posted and everything. Act III is now almost done. There'll be a break while I refresh myself on the 'verses involved (I feel I've lost some character in Act III - like, the window dressing and mood setting stuff people say they like about the fic has kind of slipped off the shoulders of the character and plot beats), and then I'll either do Act IV of The Fic or start on the spin-off.
I hate to beg at this or any other time, especially since I've been complaining a lot in this post, but I need comments, and would greatly appreciate any that you have to spare. The work is enjoyable but what makes it rewarding and gives me momentum is knowing it's been read by people who think things about it. I am made unhappy by the idea that this thing into which I have put a lot over the last few years just flops out there into a few disinterested eyeholes and doesn't even merit a "meh, 's all right I guess." I don't ask for fame, just interaction. Tell me it sucks if you like, that's better than the soft sound of a flop into the dust.
