Look, I'm late to the game but I'll play.

[constance]

A certain pecentage of my friendslist is just sort of gone, and now that I'm back I am missing them; and it seems silly and stubborn not to keep track if I know where to find them. I'm still posting to livejournal, have no immediate plans to post anywhere else, but I did create an insanejournal to make sure I don't miss anything.

If you comment here with your ij name -- and possibly if you don't, if I can manage to find you -- I'll friend you with my tofty account there.

Hi, T. I've been on hiatus myself though for much less justified reasons than you. Before anything else, I'm very sorry about all the personal troubles you've had lately. You must be really sad. *Hugs*.

I haven't really got my head around this lj exodus yet. My inclination is to stay here but set up alternative journals on the other sites so I don't lose touch with all the people I'm fondest of in fandom. I also tend to agree with Violetisblue that the basic problem isn't limited to lj but is bound to follow us to any site. Remember how we all quit ff.net in dismay and outrage? Ever since then I've thought it might happen on lj one day, and tried not to get too attached to what is in the end just a website.

Yep, I agree with everything you say -- but I did grow very fond of lj, I admit. I've tried many different blogging sites, and this is by far my favorite. The servers are decent, the commenting system is highly sophisticated, they're no better or worse than any other business who sacrificed some of its ideals to the bottom line. I'd only move if absolutely everyone else did first -- but I'd resent moving, darn it.

Hello! I am struggling a bit, but mostly I'm okay. *hugs back*

It would be inconvenient to move but I'm trying to be philosophical about it in case it comes to that. You know in my HP series, the characters are 17 at the beginning - that's legal in the UK but does that count in the US? OK, the stories are only linked from not posted on lj, but if they were on here would I be breaking lj's policy now? I'm confused! At least the ff.net ban was clear.

I'm not sure yet if I'm around on Sunday. If I am shall I turn YM on? I hope you're feeling better, sweetie. (PS got to go to work soon so I might have to postpone replying to your DH comment.)

Oops, I forgot to reply to this comment! I'm leaving in just a few minutes to go on a little day-trip, but I'll log on when I get back -- probably mid to late afternoon, my time -- on the off chance you'll be around.

Hi T. My apologies - I was so hideously hungover on Sunday I couldn't face turning on the computer let alone typing. And the last few days I've had the decorators in, monoplising the room I use the internet from, which is why the belated explanation :/ <3.

*laughs at you* That's cool. I hope your decorators have made things all lovely!
