Hi everyone! This is my goodbye post to LJ.

You may (or may not) have noticed that ever since the new ToS on LJ came out, I've been posting on Dreamwidth only - same username, feliciacraft.dreamwidth.org. Long story short, I don't want to go, but I can't really stay, since my stay would be contingent upon my acceptance of the ToS. For the same ( Read more... )

My LJ account was suspended on Friday and reinstated this morning after I filed a request for review. Here's what happened, how I got it back, and lessons learned.

And the rest won't want to punish me too severely
For finding a thing to do that though not forbid
Yet wasn't enjoined and wasn't expected clearly.

To punish me over cruelly wouldn't be right
