oh, god, your tumblr essay brought back so many memories… i hadn’t really thought much about the people behind “faceless” gif / edit blogs, but i did have a vaguely popular fandom blog that i used obsessively and got addicted to all those meaningless numbers… were you around for the introduction of fanmail? it was slightly, slightly better than just sending asks back and forth, but still generally useless.

great analysis of the structure of tumblr and how horribly structured it was for community building on every level! and i’m sorry that you were harassed, hopefully this site is a better fandom outlet for you

Thank you for reading all that and your kinds words! It's so easy to get addicted to the numbers, for sure. I think I was around for fanmail iirc, because it sounds familiar. It was like Asks but less risk of being deleted by site error and had a direct response feature built in. The commenting system there now is something I wish they did so much sooner.
