Jan. 18th, 2018 22:03SO. I have gone through three Torchwood fics (ok, let's be honest, one real fic and two tiny ficlets) and I actually do plan on posting them but work has been the. absolute. worst., so you know. When I have time.
In other news, Captain Awkward managed to summarize one of the reasons LJ/DW is/was so much better than all the current social media platforms and I want to record it for myself:
"I really miss LiveJournal of the early 2000s sometimes. (And yes I know it still technically exists and I about Dreamwidth and alternatives, don’t @ me. The culture changed.)
PSEUDONYMS were our friends.
FILTERS were our friends. LOCKED POSTS were our friends. In ye olden days a guy could wail at the internet all day and get love/tough love from his inner circle without crossing the streams of business and friendship and family and people he met years ago (plus that one high school teacher that he’s not sure he even took a class with).
Maybe it will function as a reminder to post and check my flist occasionally? Maybe.
