If You Are Female......
....and are sexy....
...powerful...
...and are special....
...did something first....
...or did something no one else could do...
...if you are the main character and own that...
...or have a tragic past or romantic entanglements...
...or I don't think your flaws are flawed enough...
...or you aren't hated by everyone....
...or your book has some examples of weak writing...
...or I just don't like you....
YOU'RE A MARY SUE.

I read it (with a LOT of cynicism) for the occasional "real secret" that actually slips in there, or the occasional smile.
Notes to the knuckleheads:
"I ship it" isn't a secret....
"I judge you" means you haven't noticed your own glass walls yet...
"My fandom is Ossim" is nice, but we've noticed already
"My fandom sucks" is too bad, but we've noticed that too.
"I wish I was him/her" is your secret, but it's a sad one.
"I've told everyone *except you, my best friend*" is passive aggressive bullshit, that makes me damn glad I'll never know you.
Sadly, if they stripped it down to real secrets - the painful, hidden, and sweet things in the postcards from the original concept... you'd have not much material at all.

You certainly wouldn't be able to put out a post every single day.

Same here. And periodically I'll cut myself off and say no more fandom secrets for a couple of weeks.

(And yeah, yesterday I was flipping through the post going, "Nope, not secret. Nope, not that one either....")
They've definitely lost the very point of the original Post Secret concept... That there are some things people cannot talk about to the others in their lives for whatever reason... and that secret is eating them inside. It is better off for the holder to surrender that secret to anonymity. True secrets add a psychic weight to the soul and are a huge burden.

Oh, so much yes.
And you're right about the weight secrets have. It's a shame so many people don't use it for what it's really intended for.
