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*

The same thing has happened in LOTR fandom--a handful of people have decamped to other sites and are no longer posting on LJ, while others try to crosspost and maintain multiple journals. I barely have time to maintain my journal as it is, let alone wander around GJ and IJ. Woe.

Total woe! I am more dejected than I ever expected I would be, honestly. Having a somewhat centralized fandom was something I have really taken far too much for granted, and now that it's gone, woe woe woe!
