( Part 5 )

ETA: Or read the entire thing here.

Final note: Once again (because people keep asking), these were written non-chronologically on purpose. This was just a little writing experiment, unbeta'd and written for a friend as a gift, but the response has been amazing. Thank you all so much -- I really appreciate it! This is all I'd planned to write, but… you never know. If the inspiration strikes me, I may post a few more at some point. ;-)

Oh, and one more thing: The last line of this fic was planned from the beginning, and part of the reason I wrote the vignettes out of order was so I could reveal that at the very end. I'm curious if it changes the way you look at the story?

A pledge

Dear Fandom,

I'm sick to death of wanks and kerfluffles, in all their assorted forms. I'm tired of seeing people I care about being snarked at, both to their faces and behind their backs. I'm equally tired of seeing people I care about being mean and petty to others. So I'm going to make a public pledge, and I hope I am able to stick with it.

I hereby pledge not to participate in wank any more. I won't link to wanky posts. I will resist the urge to comment on them, except to try to make a reasonable and friendly point. When my friends are the victims of wank, I'll comfort them behind the scenes instead of drumming up even more wank with a ranty post.

I furthermore pledge to do my best not to jump to conclusions about anyone else's intentions. I will give people the benefit of the doubt whenever possible.

And if I have a problem with someone, I will ask them about it directly.

Sincerely,
Emma

ETA: Just to clarify, this pledge is about ME, and not anyone else. I'm not trying to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do. I know some of you out there really like wank and enjoy stirring it up, reading all the threads, and watching the drama of the fall-out. That's not my thing, and I'm not passing judgment on any of you. :-)
