Dear Mrs. Debolt:
I have recently developed an 'addiction' to another blogging site. It's called Tumblr. It's basically a compilation of photos, videos and links. You blog with friends, make new ones, connect with other people around the world. It's great until you get attached to the people you talk to and you want to be on more and more. Basically, Tumblr is what the inside of your head looks like, but set up in pictures and text posts. Mine, obviously, would be full of Supernatural, Doctor Who and Sherlock Holmes. They're all popular 'fandoms' that I've come to find myself joining.
Fandoms are another thing though. Fandoms are basically groups of people who like the same things. Like what I stated before. I'm in a combination of all three fandoms, so most people would call me 'Super-Who-Locked.' And I'm not the only one. I have many friends who like the combination. But you have to look out for other people on Tumblr. There's something called 'Anon hate'. And basically, it's people sending anonymous messages, trying to hurt the receiver of the message emotionally. I haven't gotten any, but my friends have. It really bothers them, and myself, because it's worded hate toward us and our fandom.
Tumblr is probably one of the best websites I've been on. It's great. It's a way to share your artistic talents as well. You can post videos of you singing, or pictures of what you've drawn, or links to your art. I, personally, make art digitally now. It's a great way to share art with people you don't see as often as your friends in school. I've only had my Tumblr since the summer, but I love it. It's probably been my best experience on the computer.
Sincerely,
Abbie Sharp
