hiii :D

I was on LJ from 2000 to 2006 or so. I used it more for journalling and keeping up with IRL friends than I did for fandom, but I read a few fandom communities. I was a lot more of a lurker than a creator back then, though.

It's good to come back. The slower pace and increased control over audience (and reading page!) is so so so so nice.

I think I started on LJ in maybe 2003-2004ish, and at the time I used it for the same! Mostly my high school friends and I used the journals to keep up with each other, though I eventually branched out to some communities and fandoms and friends-met-in-comment-sections. (Even met my partner of 10+ years on LJ!)

But I absolutely agree - returning to the journalling atmosphere seems so much more like an actual community! Control over who sees what, and the ability to keep up with the people you want to... it's definitely been more satisfying for me.

I started mine at the end of uni when I was planning on moving overseas. It was my way of staying in touch with friends when there was a 9 hour time difference XD

and it's SO much better for actual conversation! I can't get over how much more connected I feel after just a few days!

It's great for keeping up with time differences, or just incompatible schedules.

And agreed! It's so much easier to talk to people and have it feel like an actual back-and-forth!
