FWA & Dissatisfaction by Coon
So I suppose I should mention here as well that I am going to FWA (Furry Weekend Atlanta) in a few weeks.
I will be glad of the vacation, as lately my emotions have been all over the place. There are a lot of artists that have been neglectful of their responsibilities to me as a buyer of commissions, and many of them will be at the con. I am out of patience with most of them now, but I hope I can keep it together enough to resolve things in a reasonable manner.
The fact of the matter is, I no longer feel I can trust people in the fandom who offer such services. I'm not planning on doing much other than hanging with friends at this con. This lack of trust is beginning to dovetail with this nagging feeling that perhaps I am outgrowing the fandom itself. Like, I find myself wondering if maybe being as invested in it as I am is too childish, or if spending energies on the fandom might be keeping me from advancing my goals.
I'm a geek though. Not sure if I can just change the kind of person I am like that. Although mounting dissatisfaction may spur me yet into making an attempt.

I've made a lot of friends here, that's true. I think generally being in the fandom has been a positive for me. But I don't know...maybe there comes a point where that isn't necessarily true? I probably am not going to just up and leave, unless it comes to a point where I absolutely have to.

that is perfectly valid. I mean as we grow older, we might lose interest which is one thing, but I think over all the community does a lot of positive things for people coming in and people in general.

Actually, this reminds me: I found out how collections work here, so if you want, I can offer that drawing I have of Coon here as a collection piece for you. I can also upload the Christmas card I drew for you here too if you want and offer that as a collection piece as well.

I would say that being in the fandom is usually an around good thing, you have friends that care about you and think that you matter, not all of talk often but there is still those invisible strings that keep us linked. I care about you and I consider you to be a close friend, even if we don't talk often I still read your journals from time time, check out new art you get, and so on. I think your dissatification is warranted, but don't let the artists that you are dissatisfied with distract from the friends you have. Honestly I try do things on a person by person basis, I generally have a lack of faith the general humanity, but that faith is slowly building up as I begin to realize that not everyone is cruel and I think the same can be said about the furry community, just because you have recent dealings not go well doesn't mean a lot are that way, because there are still plenty of people you have yet to meet.
