The Real Me

I saw this on frozen_delight page and I though it was a great idea!!! Let's spread some love and joy to others this holiday season!!!



Spread Holiday cheer by leaving thoughtful comments on fanworks of your choice all throughout the month of December.

Let’s face it: fanfic, fanart, fanvids – they take love, dedication and time to make and the creators don’t get paid for it. Fanartists’ payment comes in kudos, likes and – most importantly – comments. Comments lets the artist know what really worked and that they didn’t spend their time, energy and love for nothing.

So how about a little challenge? Give back this December, like a reverse advent calendar. Don’t just leave kudos, likes or whatever other sites offer. Leave at least one thoughtful, in-depth comment on a fanwork of your choice every day throughout December. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you managed that? Just imagine the artist flailing at hearing some well-intended praise for their story, artwork or video – and I can assure you that it will happen. Whether you finally comment on that old favorite of yours, or leave a comment on the work just published minutes ago, you’ll make a fanartist extremely happy.

Pick a date in December and give me something to talk about. Give me a question or topic-- I'm going to say anything goes, either fannish (TV, movies, books, fanfic, music, fandom, ships, fictional characters, actors, writing) or real life (if you touch something I don't want to talk about, I'll tell you and you can pick something else). Whatever comes to mind! I find these memes help me grow and come to terms about my own self. It helps me open up and feel comfortable to share my opinions, views, and thoughts, on various topics, with those I know won't judge me, compared to others in know.

So, who wants to sign up? Ask me anything!!! :-)

When you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly, then tag 10 of your friends!

To be honest, nice things about myself. Its a hard one and it really shouldn't be.

1. I'm a very professional and dedicated teacher.
2. I think of others MORE then my self and trying to change that.
3. I'm supportive, honest, offer advice, and share concerns with very close friends.
4. I'm finding a way to come out of my shell.
5. I like to write stories and poems - no matter what others think about it.

Like I said, hard. I want to cry right now. Anyway. I feel like Dean Winchester from
smalltrolven Big Bang story.

Here is my list of tagging others: if you were alright tagged, you don't have to do it again!!
deanshot, deanlives, fiery_fox2, jennylynneh, aelia1980, 2people2, calysta18, cillab42, my_sam_dean, ilikecrystals.
