A/N: Hiya guys, so this is my newest part. Hope you like it :)

"So guys, that's all I have to say about fandoms. And if you like the video, then give it a like. And if a hot mess fangirl isn't really your type of Youtuber, then ideally, unsubscribe. See ya!" I rambled to the camera 3 hours later before ending with a smile and placing my hand over the camera. Then, I pressed the 'Stop' button for the last time and began to pack away my tripod and camera.

Later

3...2...1... and that was it. My first ever Youtube video had been uploaded with the title "It's never just a fandom" (A/N: See what I did there?). There wasn't any going back because it was up and available for the world to watch. I had spent at least 5 hours editing and double-checking it and I thought that it was actually not that bad. No good worrying about it now though, time for bed, me thinks *yawns*.

The next morning

I woke up early the next morning for some unknown reason. Perhaps a nightmare or the anticipation of checking up on my video. But I sat up in bed, instictively looked round my bedroom and lifted the sheets off me. They were patterned with a stereotypical London street in black and white with just the buses driving past and one phonebox farther down the road in a bright cherry red; I'd seen them in ASDA about a year ago and I felt like I just had to have them! Anyway, I ran a hand through my long dark brown hair and leaned over to grab my laptop. Carefully, I balanced it on my knees while I propped myself up on the black headboard of my bed. What can I say, reader, I like to live life on the edge. I flipped open the laptop lid and turned it on quickly. My Youtube page sprang onto the screen as I had forgotten to log off last night so I scrolled down to my only upload and checked the view count... I nearly fell off my bed. "1,000 views already?" I gasped to myself as I checked the comments.

'You're fit. I would. ;)'

And the compliments and great comments were plenty. Of course, I got a couple of butthurt fangirls commenting about how ugly and stupid I was and how Muse sucks and Justin Beiber is waaaay better so there. But I ignored them. I never thought I would handle negative comments well when I read them under videos from people like Shane Dawson and AmazingPhil as I always got defensive and angry about negative things people thought about other people and I always got terrified that, when I started Youtube, people would be meaner and I would have a break down but fuck it, who cares what other people hate about you?

Anyway, with a huge smile on my face, I went through and liked and replied to as many comments as I could... even ones that asked if I had a boyfriend or girlfriend. I mean, people may as well acknowledge my loneliness if they're going to be fans. I finished replying to comments around 10:30, which was a whole 4 hours after I woke up. I closed the lid of my laptop and led back onto my headboard, breathing heavily with a stupid grin on my face. I was fucking ecstatic that my video got this popular overnight. Sure, I'm no Pewdiepie but 1,000 views on my first video is amazing! I daren't even check my subscribers in case only 2 people actually subscribed and it brings down my mood. Maybe this Youtube crap wasn't such a bad idea after all...
