It's a sunny California day. Why am I inside?

May 07, 2009 09:49

A short unscientific poll of the flist on the topic of that Other Fannish Journaling Service that metafandomwank is busy wanking about right now. The goal is to figure out how annoyed you'd all be if I moved over there.

( You know what the cut's for... )

fandom, poll

What about the "It'll mean the end of fandom as we know it (thank God)" button?

Why not just cross post?

And where is ticky box??

I'd shrug, friend, and continue watching both journals until it became clear which one is getting the most traffic/comments/posts, and then filter the one on the other service from my default reading so that I'm not reading stuff twice.

In other words, I'm over there, checking it out, because it seems potentially cool and I want to see how it develops. No particular drama one way or the other.

:::Raises hand::: I have a question.

If you move over to DW, what happens to Giles Fic Recs and Giles Watchers? Will they continue on LJ or move to DW?

That's something I was pondering too. I wrote a tool that can move the posts over (written by request of some Harry Potter fandom peeps when they moved over to InsaneJournal), so I could do that. It's painful to leave resources like the fic recs behind.

Giles Watchers will have to watch the DW journals as well.

I really can't gauge the temperature of the fandom yet from this poll or other things. I'm probably just going to sit back and wait like most everybody else.

Really and honestly, I can't be assed to go and get an account. I like LJ and I'm sticking here.

I'm getting totally tired of all the "ohhh dreamwidth!!" stuff - I've actually started to skim over entries that even mention dreamwidth.

Amazing I completed this poll actually! LOL

It's because I gave you the "grump harumph" option :)

LOL!

I think you may be right.

At the moment the ponies just aren't sparkly enough. I didn't do the poll, so that's why I'm commenting.

Yes, I got the free code and set myself up, though my profile is an anorexic shadow of what I have on LJ. I really don't want to move, because it's really a case of a worldwide migration, even a refugee resettlement, where people virtually move and then have to reestablish their communities All. Over. Again. If I didn't write, if all I ever did was blather on about my day, then it still would be a major move, though not as traumatic.

Waaaaaaaah.
I. Hate. Change.
