Does anyone else sometimes feel that posting to LJ is like talking to yourself in an empty room?

You know what makes me crazy? When I hear a song I recognize in a TV show or commercial, and I know that I first heard it in a vid, but I can't remember which vid. It's like that time I said to killabeez, "This is a great song, it sounds like something you ( Read more... )

I do feel that! I x-post to LJ and DW, and at least on DW there's some consistency about who/how many people will comment. LJ can be hopping, or completely dead.

I wish I could be more fannish about Bond/Q. I find both Daniel Craig and Ben Whishaw almost unbearably sexy...in different contexts. Somehow, those characters together don't do it for me. *iz weird*

Those ST guys are going to be the death of me, though. For the first time in a while I want to read rps about a cast.

I wonder if some of the consistency of commenting at DW is due to the fact that people who crosspost here actually don't read here. I mean, they say they do, but I've done a couple very specific tests on that claim, and they don't. It bums me out. But most of them do consistently read DW and thus, the comments flow naturally there.

I don't think you're weird! The pairing grew on me reaaaaaaally slooooooowly and now I'm hooked. :) (But you're right, those ST guys are very pretty, too.)

I'm at about 7,000 words, but I hate all the words, and must keep going so that I don't delete them.

This is me also with paperlegends. I don't have a back-up story either, and my cheerleader has gone awol...

Awww. I wonder what happened to your cheerleader? But you know, I have every confidence that your story will turn out. I have fangirled you before on this point re your excellence. *g*

:D I think the story I'm working on is the story you didn't like as much in concept, but. I don't know if I can even make it turn out. MAYBE. I will know soon. *g*

DEAN GIVES THE BEST HUGS. EVER.

Also, the deleted scene from Merlin--how on earth could they have cut that? It's a BIG DEAL. I mean, come on!

I sometimes wonder what show the Merlin producers thought they were making. Why do they cut clips of Merlin? IT IS CALLED MERLIN. *g*

<3! Hi you!

Not really, but what's very noticeable is that Tumblr became the place for lurkers and that used to be LJ before everyone started to hide everything behind friendslock, so the lack of audience leaves an impact.

You have a point there about friendslock. It's sort of a sad commentary on the fannish culture that many have come to feel engagement leads to bad things. I miss the days of open and civil discussion, before it became all right (and even encouraged) to be an asshole on the internet.
