Random thought...

Does anyone maybe think that the high tempers and the stress and the tension among everyone in the fandom lately is because we've got less than 6 weeks left until the next book comes out and we're all cracking under the strain?

I just feel like every person in the fandom lately is going insane. Can we all take a deep breath, remind ourselves that there will be New Canon very soon, and just calm down about everything else?

Of course, there's also that pit-of-the-stomach dread that the book might:

a. suck
b. contain things we'll disagree with
c. resemble bad fanfic (i.e., suck)
d. contradict everything we've been "swearing" will be so for three years (plus)
e. leave us with an even bigger gap between it and the next one
f. leave us with more questions and less answers than we had before.


But...seriously, do you think it might be because we're all just going a little stir crazy from the pressure?

I think it's not so much being close to the new book as being far from the old books. I think this sort of upset would have taken place about now (or earlier...and it has) becuase we have all run out of things to say so we maybe are picking up more on that which bugs us, rather than discussing that which fascinated us for so long.

What I hope happens is that the new book will refresh most of us and bring us back to why we are here in the first place.

What I hope doesn't happen is that everyone ends up pissed off at each other just before Nimbus. We've waited so long to all get together...I hope we still like each other when we do.

I totally agree, Carole.

I hope the new canon resolves things, and that we can all let out excitement about Nimbus supercede anything else.

Leaping from LJ to LJ and found your post.

I agree wholeheartedly on everything you've just said. I think we're all just cracking and its causing tempers to flare.

I just want to say that as a FAP user, I really do appreciate how you and the other mods go above and beyond the call of duty in order to keep things running smoothly for everyone at the Park. You all deserve giant hugs and kisses for trying to keep this insane fandom sane until 06/21.

So I guess all I can say is... Thank you.
