I started LiveJournal when people needed to be invited to the party, by a person that I had a falling-out with over differing views of politics and religion. It has always been a place to share ideas and links and interesting thoughts and gather them from other places around. As I've gotten older, my posting pace has slowed down significantly due to the realities of being employed and not having the necessary time to keep things going. I like to believe that what I post has value to other people.

Dreamwidth entered the picture after the Strikethrough event as a place to have a backup in case LJ decided they were going to engage in mass deletions for flimsy reasons on the regular. (Hello, Tumblr folk. We feel your pain.) And, as LiveJournal continued to make decisions that favored advertisers over users, I basically stopped going there and have made my home full-time on Dreamwidth.

Now I'm slowly starting to be more overtly fannish in my space. The truth of it is, though, is that you're more likely to get a sense of who I am if I'm hanging out in your comment sections than if you just read my journal.

It's a nice place, Dreamwidth.
