Sep. 6th, 2007 03:24 pmI am catching up on the LJ flist, and I'm getting sadder and sadder.
I knew already that the HP fandom would be endangered by the end of the series, but now it's fragmented as well, and I'm really having trouble wrapping my head around having multiple journals. I'm a control freak, as you all know, and I hate the idea of cross-posting, but I also hate the idea of not cross-posting, and I hate the idea of having one main journal, and I hate the idea of having journal-specific entries, and I just feel like I'm watching my internet journaling experience take a nose dive.
Also, I find the idea that HP's parent corporations are going to put the smackdown on slash very chilling. (I can't remember where I read the entry now, damnit.)
*glooms about*
ETA: Oh, and this bit about everyone defriending LJ people so they don't have to read multiple entries? Understandable, but... *glooms even more*

Date: 2007-09-06 07:34 pm (UTC)*hugs* I really hope that this gets cleared up at some point, but I'm not holding my breath. And there are friends on LJ for whom this is not even an issue, so I'm divided completely now, forevah, it seems.

Date: 2007-09-06 07:37 pm (UTC)I think if people want to have an easier-to-read flist, they should use a reading filter rather than defriending.

Date: 2007-09-06 08:21 pm (UTC)I am checking lj with frightening frequency, but IJ every few days. There's not as much activity over there as continues to be over here.
(I love the anonymous reply. It was aptly spooky.)
