From mod Wolfiefics
I wish to issue an apology. I by no means meant to trivialize anyone's life experiences, bad or good. I am a survivor of sexual molestation and have been stalked twice. I suffer from bipolar disorder, anxiety, and possibly undiagnosed PTSD. I've been there, done that, got the psychiatric hospital bills to prove it.
Everyone processes their traumas differently. Some are healthy, some are not. But we process them as best we can given our circumstances. I meant no disrespect in the slightest. I only wanted to point out the idea behind the challenge was happy endings. As Pepper points out below (above?) everyone reaches that point in different ways.
Due to my life experience, one of my characters will be mildly stalked, but nothing triggering will be mentioned. There might be a hint of past verbal abuse, I haven't decided. But it will be referenced as a past event that shapes that character's present actions with his opposite.
I also offer myself for a shoulder to cry on or a person to rant at. Or maybe just someone to idly chat nonsense with, either here on Tumblr or on our Discord channel. The great thing about the Marvel fandom is we are a community helping each other and the world. We are fandom superheroes, each one of us. I have been in many fandoms over my 46 years but Marvel is unique, I assure you.
So again, I meant no offense in my post to the anon last night. I thought I was just clearing up some submission guideline confusion.
