After reading some of fandom_votes and a few other trusted users' posts, I have voted in the LJ advisory board election: rm, vichan and legomymalfoy, in that order. I am vehemently anti jameth and camblerI strongly encourage each of you to carefully read the candidates' platforms, consider their attitudes towards and connection (or lack thereof) with fandom and whether or not they are ( Read more... )

khohen1 has a couple of really good posts here and here regarding the recent LJ policy changes, fan reaction and a telephone conversation she had with rachel. They add a lot of clarity and sense to the discussion ( Read more... )

The Short VersionLJ’s new policy doesn’t really affect my journal entries much. My posts about RL and reality TV and kitty and garden pictures aren’t what they’re looking to TOS. I don’t really write fic anymore, but none of mine involved anyone underage, anyway and I’m more into het and gen these days than slash. On the other hand, I do ( Read more... )

My prescience is on the blink. It’s operating but not as well as it should. I’ve had a niggling feeling that July is not going to be the wankopolypse for about six months and it appears May is laying claim to that event.

I think we’ve done some good things in response to LJ’s little mess. fandom_counts was a great idea, for two reasons: 1) it gives LJ a ( Read more... )

So, I spent a lot of tonight in withdrawal, no phones in hand ( Read more... )

I completely missed my 5 year LJ anniversary. It was two months ago, on January 23rd.

Just to spite LJ, I am considering making "Enter a subject" the subject line of all my LJ entries from this point forward. But that would be cutting off my nose to spite my face, so ... maybe not.

Yesterday was a very nice day. I took the day off from work to do holiday stuff with peach1250. We didn't actually do much holiday stuff, but we did have a ( Read more... )
