A Joyful Tyrant

I am a writer pushing 30 who is trying to finish, well...everything. I write both original fiction and fanworks, and I belong to a million fandoms. I am an avid multi-shipper, and I adore crossovers more than most other fanworks. I identify as a queer female most of the time, though I tend to prefer men to women on average. I often turn into a ball of righteous feminist rage, and release rants at the speed of light. Actually, I rant a lot. About everything. So, be warned. My biggest fandom spaces are probably Glee, the Whedonverse, the Whoniverse, and Harry Potter. I also like obscure science fiction shows from the 90s.

Goodbye, Glee.

So Glee is over, and I am so relieved. I keep seeing all these posts about how the Glee fandom is a family, and we're all here for each other. Where was that family when people in the Glee fandom sent me death threats and Anon hate every day for months until I finally gave up and left? When GleeAnon was hosting threads about what a horrible person I was, what a horrible writer I was, and about how people hoped I'd off myself? When people made sockpuppet blogs and fake email addresses just to send me hate? Glee was a fucked up show, and the Glee fandom is a fucked up fandom, and I hope it disappears. I have never been so happy to see a show end.

This blog is dead. Stop following it. I don't want to delete it because I like some of my old posts, but there will be no new posts.

[joyfultyrannous]

Hi, this blog is abandoned.

So, yeah, I haven't been here in ages. The wank and hate chased me away. Send me an ask, and I'll tell you privately where you can find me now. However I'll warn you that I have left Glee fandom in the dust more or less and don't really want a thing to do with it anymore. So yeah. Goodbye. It was real. I'm not gonna say it was good, because it wasn't, but it was real. Bye.

Bad Author: Joyful

Joyful filled your prompt, the angst is come But really, there’s no joy, With rape and drugs, mental health and AIDS Repeat there is no joy, Repeat there is no joy, Repeat, repeat, there is no joy

Let us introduce you to the wonders of Joyful, who has the most ironic name in fandom, aside from hyperemmalawlz.

So, I just read this, and I have 2 things to say:

1) Joyful is my real name. You can call me Joy, if you want.

2) I laughed my ass off. Because this is 100% true. Before hate drove me off the Internet I wasn't a good writer, just a prolific one. I've gotten better, and I use betas now (yay). I also publish under a completely different penname as a way to escape the wank. But back in the day my writing sucked. I was in a horrible place in my life and all I wrote was angst. And it wasn't even good angst. It was horrible. But writing is about getting better, right?

So, I have no clue how long ago this was written, I haven't looked myself up in a very, very long time, for my own mental health. But no hard feelings, guys. My writing was pretty bad.

Hey.

So, I'm delurking for all of 10 minutes to talk about Tumblr user CassieValentine.

I've never actually talked to her. I've never read her fics or headcanons. While I'm a Castle fan, I'm not active in the fandom. There aren't many fandoms I'm comfortable being active in anymore. So, I'm not familiar with the caliber of Cassievalentine's fanworks. I don't know what she ships, or what tropes she enjoys.

But here's what I do know:

Some people in the Castle fandom are currently doing to CassieValentine what some people in Glee fandom did to me. They're ganging up on her, anonymously, sending her hate. They're even enlisting total strangers to try and drive her out of the fandom. They're not giving her constructive criticism, they're insulting her writing and they're attacking her personally.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

It wasn't okay two years ago when I got death threats and "go kill yourself" messages just because people didn't like my Glee fic, and it's not okay that it's happening to Cassie now.

This member our tumblr family is suicidal. Not because of pressures from the outside world, but because of what people within the community are doing to her.

THIS IS NOT OKAY.

So, before I hide back behind my rock and go back to lurking (because the internet hasn't been safe for me for a long time), I'm gonna say, why don't you pop over to CassieValentine's tumblr and give her a hug. 'Cause God knows she could use some positive messages. When I was going through the worst of it, the occasional positive ask was often the only thing that kept me going.

Fandom is cruel. Fans are cruel. It shouldn't be that way, but that's the way it is. If you can survive being in a fandom, you can do anything.

The best of luck to you CassieValentine. If you want to correspond with somebody who knows what you're going through, feel free to contact me privately.

Shame on you, Castle fandom. Rick Castle and Kate Beckett would be deeply disappointed in you.

I am out of words besides amazing.

[joyfultyrannous]

You may have noticed but I'm not really on here much anymore.

I'm still on tumblr and livejournal and youtube and AO3 and everywhere else, I just have an alternate internet identity, and I also lurk a lot.

Unfortunately there's no real way to announce my alternate screenname to all my casual acquaintances and readers without also announcing it to the bullies and the people who send me hate. Some of them already know, of course, but I'd like to avoid another flood of "go kill yourself" mail if possible.

If you contact me privately I'll let you know where you can find me now.

I am really sorry about all the fics I will probably never finish. Maybe someday?

[joyfultyrannous]

Seeing as it's author appreciation day, and you're one of my favorite fanfic authors of all time, it only seemed right to send you something :) You were one of my first followers, and still the most major one to date. You're a really, really good person, and I'm horrified how people treated you for DWtWiE. It was tragic, but beautifully done, and one of my favorite fanfictions... ever. I just really like you, and I wish everyone felt the same way.

Thank you very, very much.  *hug*

Joyful has basically been run out of the Glee fandom and off of her internet identity, which is awful and ridiculous because she’s always struck me as a lovely person who gave hateful people a lot more logic and patience than they deserved.

She wrote ‘Down Where The World Is Ending’ which was the first fic to make me flat out ugly cry. It was beautiful and terrible and it really is just such a well written piece, it’s a crying shame people say such awful things about it.

The great thing about life - what makes it LIFE - is that it IS beautiful and terrible. It’s not a fairy tale. It’s not all candyfloss and gummi bears. But there is, as Imogen Heap says, beauty in the breakdown, and Joy caught the deepest essence of that in DWTWIE, as painful as that was to read. I admire her ability and willingness to chase into the dark corners and emerge with something that is hard to read but is worth the hurt.

Here’s to you, Joy.

[joyfultyrannous]

I am legitimately crying right now.

Thank you very much for this, really.

I've been really depressed.  In fact I'm depressed a lot.  I really, really needed this.

Thanks.

So I just went on the Teen Wolf Kink Meme

And the first prompt I found was an AU in which Stiles' mom died of Huntington's Disease.
