A PSA.
I created my very first Livejournal back in September 2002. Back then, it was an invite-only site, and it was...well, it was different. In the meantime, I've lived through a lot of wank like Strikethrough and ridiculous corporate decisions like Strikethrough II: Electric Boogaloo, and basically have watched the journaling service turn into a site that feels like a profit-hungry monster that doesn't actually care about having anything but eyeballs and clickthroughs.
Most of my posting is being done over on my Dreamwidth. The longer I spend on LJ, the more uncomfortable I become with their policies and their behaviors. For now, I will continue to cross-post fic (except for the stuff I wrote for Three Weeks for Dreamwidth), but don't expect to see anything else.
If you're interested in checking out a journal site founded for and by fans, with a solid track record of respecting user privacy and standing up against cyberbullies, I have an invite code and can probably scare up others. Drop me a comment.
In the meantime, I'll drop in occasionally and glance over my flist, but I've really reached the point where almost everybody on here is on DW too, so most of my list is duplicated. So if you haven't, I totally encourage you to jump ship with me. It's fun over there, I promise. It's like old-school LJ, with a commitment to actually stay that way.
