*hugs* I'm glad you're coming out of your shell, and I'm sorry that this is happening now. We'll get through this, somehow (FOB is a good, heartening, recent example of this, yes).
I spent most of my day going through some of these sad posts and commenting on them. So many hugs, and attempts to make sense of things and find the silver linings and promises to carry on. So much love in this fandom.
It is sad and true that inevitably, when something like this happens, some people will move on. But my impression is that a good amount of people will stick around and still be awesome and keep running and creating and interacting. And new people will find their way here, too, via FOB and such. It's worth sticking around. And I still have a lot of unfinished business with this band in the form of a 'verse I started working on over a year ago (my first fic project, nothing posted so far, might take me another couple years to get to that point, I'm slow). So yeah.
I'm still a relative newb wrt connecting to people on here, but I'm so glad I took the plunge (so good to not be alone with all these feelings), and as I wrote way up there at the beginning of my ramble, I'm so glad you did, too. ♥ (maybe not the welcome you were going for with the previous post, sorry :-/ A welcome, nonetheless) *more hugs* (also, augh, OneFandom...I feel for Dan, poor bb and his inner 14-year old)
