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!

Yeah, I have a DW account but LJ is still where the converations seem to happen (even if many of them are about how much LJ fails).

ROOOOOBIIIIN HOOOO-OOOD, the hoody-bah *bing bong* My love for ROS is bottomless. A rewatch might indeed be in order, for when Merlin inevitably fails to be anywhere near as fun. The novelisations are hi-larious, too: they really are just the scripts with the occasional 'his eyes blazed with righteous fury' etc chucked in. Will never forgive them for issuing the book of the end of S2 before it aired, though. Um, spoilery much? Oh, my poor, poor, broken chilish heart...

All the comms seem to be over here. And even if they're over there, they seem wierdly without any joy.

Rewatch RoS! I am looking for people to squee and sniffle with. I can't wait for the novelizations no matter how terrible they turn out to be. I can relive my childhood all over again.
