Hey, gang. You know how fed up you get with fandom wank sometimes? I know I do. But here's a small thing we can do that might cause a bigger ripple.

Spearheaded by honeylocusttree, this Thunderclap is a way we can potentially shine a light on being KIND instead of crotchety towards each other in fandom.

Being a part of a fandom can impact your life far more than expected. We find ourselves relating to the characters more deeply, we meet folks that turn into genuine friends, we participate in charity events that make the world better, spurred on by our fandom relations...see how it goes? But it can get vitriolic too, for a whole host of reasons.

This simple reminder, trying to take one day to sit back and do nothing but be patient and tolerant and wank-free, is a step in the right direction. That's all it is! No donations, no nuthin' but a promise to can the wank for one...single...day.

Easy, right? July 12 is that day. Sign up HERE.

And I'd add - why not go a step farther? Make it a day where we not only refrain from bitching, we make a positive effort to find something GOOD to say and post about.

Oh dear, what's going on? I've been buried in Other Things lately...

I don't think there is anything going on - this is more a day of making sure nothing but nice things happen. I think.
