A message and picspam
Hello everyone,
First let us say that we hope that this past holiday season was a joyous one for one and all on our flist. Fandom wise, it is our wish the the coming year continues to attract new fans but keep our old ones as well. And just to let you all know, we have lots of projects in the works for this journal. So stay tuned....please.
Queer as Folk, "There's nought {colloquially pronounced 'nowt'} so queer as folk." We are all different. We come from different walks of life, countries, sexual orientations, and yet, we all fell in love with a show called Queer as Folk. Why is that? Why did this show impact us so? To say that we've never seen a show quite like this is an understatement. It was raw. honest, and unapologetic. If there's one thing we believe that is true of all who watch and love this show, is that QAF leaves itself wide open to so many interpretations, and all those interpretations are based not only on what we see on the show, but who we are and how we've experienced the world. It's the main reason why QAF is so obsessive. Much is left to our imagination and we have to use our own experiences to fill in the blanks....so QAF often is a different story to each person who view it. We love this fandom as well. Each of us have learned from it, made friendships from it, and contributed to it. But never forget this simple truth. This fandom doesn't belong to any one person or group. It belongs to all of us who wish to play. While we might not like a particular person or their view, we simply remind ourselves that there is room for everyone. Because that is the core message of this show that brought us all together: To accept and embrace diversity, tolerance, respect, community and friendship or the queer that is us folk.
