( Rant about the latest lj_biz post, conveniently cut )

Wow! I posted a comment in innocence_jihad, responding to a comment from an LJ staff member ( here), and he actually responded to me!

ETA: Me on JournalFen.
My big Strikethrough post from last time that I still think is applicable.I've never been satisfied with LJ/ ( Read more... )

A quick FYI for those who care, since it affects Harry Potter fandom: LJ has finally posted clarification of what they will and will not allow. Basically, any writing (including fanfic) that involves minors with non-minors will not be tolerated - i.e. those journals are hereby on notice that they can be suspended at any time ( Read more... )
