Dreamwidth and all that

[lesbiassparrow]

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!

And frankly I think more people are not interested in DW than you'd think. I suspect it's just a case of the DW people being more vocal to try and get the place a bit more active (the DW communties are dead any time I've checked that site out anyway). But I resent it when LJ is used as a recruiting platform, and every other minute the DW people are handing out codes for their site. They're going a bit overboard IMO

I get that people like DW, but I can't believe that it's the promised land that everyone says it is. And so much of it seems so humourless.
