Challenge #3
In your own space, Scream Into the Void. Get it all out. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
I know Snowflake is sunshine and rainbows and singing from the rooftops all the lovely and brilliant that is being in a fandom. But, let’s be honest. Sometimes--like with other things--there are sucky parts, heartbreak parts and just plain UGH parts. Rather than holding onto those slights and resentments, or burying them and pretending they don’t exist, just to have them slowly and almost imperceptibly seep into the rest of the challenges this month, why don’t we just let it all out?
For those of us who celebrate Festivus for the rest of us, this will be familiar. We call it “Airing of Grievances” and it is actually very satisfying, whether you do it tongue in cheek, get introspective or just literally scream.
Ugh. I'm fed up of ugly, dark, mean stories where everything is horrible all the time. Give me some hope, damnit. Give me some wonder and beauty and kindness. I'm starving for good things and yet every new series seems grittier and grimier than the last.
Likewise the real world. Give me some hope, please. Currently everything feels like bleeding to death slowly. How about some good news for once?

And I get burned out on too much all-happy-all-the-time-bubblegum too, so I realize there's room for a wide spectrum of stories being told, blah blah.But with the nice, understanding attitude out of the way... I am sick to DEATH of grim/grit/dark/misery being considered somehow superior art! I don't care how much of a hippie it makes me sound like, WITHOUT SOME SENSE OF HOPE OR LOVE OR SOMETHING, THERE IS NO POINT!
