“iT’s ThE oNlY tHiNg ReAlLy AlIvE rIgHt NoW”.

Again, I will state the facts of which I have declared an argument against this earlier:

Where there’s a world there’s a community. There are always going to be new storytellers popping up around, but none of us have active stories anymore, therefore no one hears about the fanfiction community. We can’t get new members unless we do outreach. That’s kind of how it works.

I also agree with Harpocrates on the fact of moving on. Not only do we need to move past Tina’s death but we need to stop trying to compare today’s community with the same community that lived two years ago. Do I miss that old community, the one blossoming and simply bursting with creative ideas? Of course I miss it. But we only shadow today’s community because of thoughts of “what was.” Where are we going to get if we only think back to what was and never look at what IS? The community is never going to be the same. We need to stop comparing it to back when fifty stories went on at a time and stop talking about the “OGs”. Frankly, if they really were the founding fathers of the community, I don’t feel that they would have deserted it so quickly when discord popped up. They wouldn’t have been so quick to leave the original home. And again, I mention outreach- no one is hearing about discord because no one is left to spread the word on Dodo.dex.

I rest my case.
