blamebramptonVery quick poll, NB, the first word of the first answer should be care, but lj won't let me fix it. *Damn you, LJ!*:[Poll #1507051]For my own part, after RL attacks of the last option, I entered fandom determined to work solely for myself, and do sometimes achieve that happy state, but more often it's accompanied by occasional wobblies. Having chatted to several friends on the topic, the wobblies seem a common surprise guest.
What about you lot? And how do you combat the wobblies if you're someone they hit?

Fandom has very specific expectations that aren't my first language, so to speak, so I find myself being more concerned about translation. But my RL stuff is my world, and I'm much more likely to tell people to take a long walk off a short pier.
But it's still not "work solely for yourself". Like my art professor said, "If it's only for you, then why waste everyone else's time with it?" (Yes, that was said to me.)
