001: Tumblr, Fandom, and Fan-Entitlement (hint: fans aren't entitled to anything)

[useyourlove]

My poor LJ was abandoned around April because I had been very involved with multiple fandoms and had just finished off writing my Master's Paper (which was fandom intensive.) I ended up just shoving all of my energy into one or two things and disappearing off into Tumblr because I had more active friends there

You should post this on Tumblr. It'll be fun! ~xoxo Dany

Haha, Dany, very funny.

"Oo, let's unleash a Tumblr shitstorm," although it would be a very good demonstration of the things I outlined--particularly if I posted it in the main tags.

do it under a side blog. it'll be in the nature of an observational experiment. ~dany

Except I wrote it as part of a challenge to actually post shit on my LJ again, so it's ridiculous for me to go and cross-post it to Tumblr and I WON'T DO IT, DANY, I WON'T.

I could post a link to this post, but no one clicks on those.

The interesting people do. (Let it be known that I click on your links.)

Also the captcha to let me post comments is getting progressively more difficult to read. Do they do that on purpose?

I honestly have no idea, I've had an LJ account since like 2003 so I've never had to contend with their anti-Satanspam shit. This current account has embarrassing shit as far back as 11th grade. The one I had before this deleted out of teenage angst.
