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*

It's sad, and I have no intention of jumping ship, as I already am pressed for time maintaining this one. I wish the art and stories were all at a nice archiving site so I could go to them, as I seldom read fic as it comes up on my flist, just don't have that kind of time. Anyway, I hope it does blow over, IJ strikes me as a very transitory thing...

Yes, I will keep to my LJ for as long as possible; not only do I have a permanent account, but several RL friends (and non-fandom friends) are here, and here alone, and I doubt they would leave (nor would I wish to convince them to).

I do wonder about the other sites. GJ seems like a clone, in many ways, especially the part about deleting journals. JF was supposed to be a safe harbor, but they seem to have their hands full keeping their site operational. IJ seems okay so far, but they might not have the processing power either. Only time would tell.
