Hello (hello, hello...)  
It has been quiet lately. Part of me thought maybe this was one of those self-fulfilling prophecies in which we're all quiet because it's been so quiet lately, or we're all talking about how quiet it's been instead of, you know, just talking. :D

But it has been quiet. *nods*

In my little fannish heart I want to believe everybody is so busy typing their fingers off and drawing their bums off that most aren't here, like I know indeed that's the case for some of you. I want to believe there's going to come a moment in which more or less at the same time everybody going to deliver their work/fic/art come here and talk and talk and fangirl and be all merry where fun will be had by all. :D

I know, I'm a dreamer. But come on, exciting things are happening!

And that's only things I remember at the top of my head. I bet I'm missing more stuff. And yet, we're all, 'It's quiet here.' And it kind of is. ^^

Well! I am the resistance! I refuse to go down quietly and will be loud to the bitter, bitter end. :D Who's with me? Come on!

Anyone? *lol*

X-Kit? What's that? I feel so old already. *lol*

I've checked dicta's tumblr, it's awesome, too. *nods*

:D X-Kit is a browser extension for Tumblr that lets you do things like mute users or post types (like if you want to see the photosets and gifsets they reblog but you're uncomfortable with their text meta), blacklist tags (great for avoiding triggers), compress your queue, keep an outbox of messages (although they still sometimes spontaneously delete - but it's still better than Tumblr's built-in message system having NO outbox), etc. With how much negativity and wank Tumblr generates, I consider it pretty essential to keeping my dash a happy place. :)

Omg, yes re: dicta! All the recs and fic quotes! It's like swimming in a sea of amazing one-liners (or, well one-paragraphers)! I feel so flustered by her (I assume her? him? they?), though, since she's rec'd one of my fics a few times, so it makes me flail. XD

Yep, her. She's so awesome, it's intimidating. *nods*

And it sounds like this X-kit is just the thing.

Also, someone should write a tumblr for dummies or something. ^^

Hahaha, there are probably a few variations of Tumblr for Dummies out there, but I learned through immersion. :D It's definitely fun. Without getting into X-Kit and such, a very basic but decent Intro to Tumblr page is http://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/beginners-guide-tutorial-tumblr/ - there are more convoluted ones, but I tend to like to see a little bit just to have some expectations before jumping in. :)

Yeah, that's mostly how one learns, by diving in. Same thing happened when you start an LJ, right? But I did find the FAQ very helpful. Maybe it's just that I haven't put my mind into properly trying to get tumblr and learn as I go. I'm def checking the intro though. Thank you! <333
