(no subject)
As I've skipped 450 during the day (not gone back any further, even though I've needed to, because LJ wouldn't let me) I've seen all sorts of talk about people jumping the LJ ship and finding new homes. It worried me (not talking about the whole censorship thing here) because I'm a bit of a home bird, and this is home in so many ways. I snaffled an insanejournal account so I could hoard my user name, but I've done nothing with it and probably won't - not unless you all disappear in order to resurface over there.
I thought initially that maybe I would just let things slide what with working and Clare's school and just trying to fit things in, but as I skimmed through all your entries I realised just how much I enjoyed those glimpses into your lives. I would miss not having that.
Anyway, you are all terribly dear to me, even though I may not speak up as often as I should.
Now I just want to single out a post that kind of sums up fandom and friendship to me.
docfraiser8and I had a little comment flurry the other day that reminded me of just how caught up and enthusiastic I could be a few years ago. Swept away by it all really. It gave me a sweet five minutes and a warm glow for quite a lot longer than that. Then I came across a post from
littleloonlost. A fic post. Now Grace and I go back a long way and I have met her more often in RL than any other LJ friend. We've immersed ourselves in fandom and life and I love her to bits. She's a wise soul and a kind one and possibly one of the most talented writers I have ever come across.
Read this and weep and wonder and appreciate it whether it's your fandom or no.
