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!

If an LJ staff member spies on my journal and I find out, I'm out of here (I'm not paranoid about privacy but there's a reason I lock most rl-mentioning stuff). 'Til then, though, I'm not too enthusiastic to quit. Been here too long. Lazy. Etc. :D

With something like that, yes, it's fucked up and I'd bolt too, but given all the creepy things that fandom does on a regular basis, I'm not any more sanguine about DW not ending in a giant pile of wank.
