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*

There isn't going to be a crackdown on HP slash, or at least not without one hell of a fuss. They tried that once when they sent out C&D letters but fandom did as they said and put up age notices and then JKR linked to a site with slash on it and they're really going to struggle now.

Which is not to say we're safe but yeah, that's not one to panic about too much I think.

It is driving me slowly crazy that if I check my LJ, GJ and JF flists I end up with some posts three times.

I'm really hoping that she doesn't crack down. Seriously. As soon as that happens, a lot of fen will head for ze hills, especially considering the LJ fuss and the end-of-series fuss.

I'm going crazy too--I can't help but read four flists now, and I'm starting to really be disturbed by the fragmenting of the fen.
