The good attention
10 years ago
I saw some journals ranting about drama queens so I thought I'd try and share some ideas and thoughts on how to gain positive, good, useful and constructive attention. The main reason for this is not to point out anyone specific, but instead share a few ideas and thoughts on how to gather positive attention.
When I think about good, positive attention I'm thinking arts and crafts, acts of play or a newly made piece of music or other such creation of something new. I firmly believe each one of us has at least one creative aspect and every one of us values different things, but in the end each of us need that abstract quota of art and craft experiences. Whether it's a new drawing you'v posted a new piece of art here, made a new YCH offering, sculpted a new clay jug with otter drawings in it.
Secondly, something worthwhile that you'v achieved is worth mentioning, such as having run a marathon, feeding 25 hungry mouths or filming a piece of film of your fursuit doing handstand or parkour and such.
On the other hand, I do not think whining about your problems publicly is the best way to get attention.
Rather than walking to a imaginary plaza and crying out your worries for all the public to hear, I'v seen some cases in my daily lives and it is especially troubling when you are sitting in a restaurant and someone is wallowing about her violent husband on the phone for all the public to hear.... I'd rather see these troubled individuals deal with their problems "sub rosa" or "under the rose". In other words, discreetly instead of publicly.
So, what do you guys think? Is displaying arts and crafts best way to get positive attention around here?

If I had a cell phone I'd call myself up to gripe about it too and THEN put it on that Facebook page that I've been meaning to create.
