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*

Actually, you aren't going to have one piece hanging out on IJ; you're going to have it on the Snupin Santa website, which is where everything will be uploaded this year (which I've said in posts more than once), along with all art and some stories from 2005 and 2006. I'm using IJ for notification purposes only, not hosting/posting purposes.

I realize it's not going to make everyone happy, but considering there are people who have requested Marauders Era smut, I'd rather move the exchange off LJ where I won't feel compelled to f-lock posts that link to underage art/stories or risk losing the journal and everything that's been posted with it in the past 2 years.

Oh, no, don't get me wrong - I know you're just making the best of a bad situation! And I certainly don't have a better idea (unless you could have notifications on LJ as well as IJ). I'm just frustrated that it even has to come to this. I really liked how centralized LJ fandom was, and I hardly ever had to go outside to look for great fic, and now that's all ending. :/
