That sounds awesome. I think there's definitely space for the 'thinky thoughts' type stuff over here that doesn't quite exist on Tumblr. And there's rather more control over what goes on in the comments of your posts...although people did used to kick off on LJ on a regular basis, I don't really remember it being quite as asinine as it can be on Tumblr. (on the other hand, most of the famous fandom wanks happened during my first stretch of time in fandom and I don't remember witnessing any of them, even the ones that happened in fandoms I was in XDDD so I'm probably not a reliable narrator here)
I am inspired to start a LotR/Hobbit comm, too. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it, but it has to be worth a try. :D :D :D Thank you for giving me the impetus!
