Dreamwidth and all that
Hmm. It seems a bunch of people are hopping over to dreamwidth. I have an account there, but, to be honest, keeping up with two journalling sites is beyond me. And, despite LJs constant fuckwittery, I prefer it over here. Unless all my flist vanishes - and even then - I can't see myself having the energy to move anywhere. And I have a strong suspicion that DW will not quite prove to be the fannish nirvana that everyone anticipates. Though if it is, well done there.
Basically, I guess, that while I don't like LJs mistakes, I don't really expect any blogging sites to act any different if they get large enough and want to turn a profit. And years of reading fandom wank doesn't exactly make me believe that fans running anything is automatically a good thing.
But more importantly: I am doing a rewatch of Robin of Sherwood and it is awesomely good as ever. I think I might buy the Blu-rays whenever they come out. RUNNING THROUGH THE GREENWOOD IN HIGH DEF. HOW AWESOME WILL THAT BE? Plus exciting dry ice will be even better in Blu-Ray. I AM SURE OF IT. Um, I may have bought a set of the novelizations which were going cheap.
In conclusion: Robin! The Hooded Man!

I have a deep-seated loathing of Facebook, so finding out LJ and Facebook are owned by the same company has really put me off. I'll stop paying for my LJ account, definitely, but if I move to Dreamwidth I'll repost here and I'll keep reading my LJ flist. I'm not going to abandon people for the sake of a fuckwitted company.

I don't think I have time for a proper rewatch, though, I've been supposed to make a tiny sheriff robe for about a year now, and the one I want is in Sheriff of Nottingham.
