( No Title )
I suggest that we start using the term ‘creatives’ instead of ‘content creators’ for authors/artists/gifmakers/podficcers for a few reasons, and chief among them are these;
we can’t always be our most productive, but there’s a terrible trend of fandom folks feeling bad if they don’t have something new to post every few weeks
you’re still a creative person even if you aren’t creating something at a given time, for whatever reason
and something it’s taken me far too long to learn myself: making things is not the rent you pay to be part of a community
as someone who straddles several different fields in design, ‘creative’ is exactly the title used – it doesn’t require you nail down to a specific category or job title, but it gets the point across. you’re someone who creates. doesn’t matter whether you’re creating this exact second, or preparing to create, or recovering from your latest bout of creating, you’re a creative.
