I 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*

What I've found depressing is that about half my flist decided they hated Deathly Hallows. Their posts on HP now centre on how much they hated book 7, how disappointed they are in JKR, and the glorification of AU fic that rewrites book 7 the way they wished it had been written.

Which I can respect, because I respect their opinions. However, I liked the book. There is now no conversation about HP that I can have with half my HP buddies. *pout* I miss them!

It's such a crazy thing, isn't it? I really expected some sort of incredible dirge, some sort of impressive funeral celebration--like an exuberant wake--and all I found, for the most part, was, "Thank goodness for AU."
