Excuse me?

Lowell House, on the Feast of Ste. Joan of Arc

Originally, I was going to post my much belated blind_go aftermath post (with my guessing rationale and self-absorbed babble about my submission) and maybe some commentary on recent roommate outings and Senior Week events, but it feels a little out-of-sync what with all the hubbub over Strikeout 2007.

I have to admit, I did feel that people were overreacting a little at first (the conspiracy-theorizing about LiveJournal targeting fandom seemed going overboard) but the statement from Six Apart about how they deleted journals based on "what community we want to build and what we think is appropriate within that community and what's not" annoyed me to no end. Excuse me? What right does Six Apart have to decide what the LiveJournal userbase should be like? (Okay, okay, as the proprietary corporation, they have every right, but still it rankles.)

I don't have much incentive to move, but if it weren't for fandom, I wouldn't have much incentive to stay either.

Anyway, as a precaution, I've backed up all the blind_go fics through ljArchive. I wasn't going to bother until aishuu pointed out the deletion of a Hikago roleplaying account, and then I remembered that there may be fics with objectionable content. -_-

Yours &c.

Post-script: On a much lighter note, I've noticed mentions of facebook accounts on the friends list. If you have a facebook account and don't mind me friending you, let me know! (By email, if you're reluctant to divulge your real name.) I'm...not exactly a facebook addict, but I've been a member almost since the site began in my freshman year (if you look at my ID number, I was the 143rd person to join up), so I'm rather active on it.

Please post it anyway. I want to know what you thought, because reading analysis-type posts is something I like doing. <3

[love_archived]

Oh, sorry! My real name is Ai Ling Chow. Poke me on Facebook, I'll add you back. ^_^ (If there are more than one Ai Ling Chows--there shouldn't be--the Tokyo thing should be a giveaway.)

[troisroyaumes]

Added! ^_^ Oh, and yes, I do still plan on posting the guessing rationale later.

[love_archived]

<3 Do it soon? *still has two hours before she has to leave for work*

[troisroyaumes]

Oh, I'm sorry, I went to sleep before I got your comment. (Time zone differences are difficult...) I'll try to post it sometime today.

I don't have you added on facebook yet, I don't think? I don't frequent facebook a lot, so I don't quite remember.

Teresa Huang, fishbone icon. I should be easy to spot that way. :)

[troisroyaumes]

Added! ^_^

[harumi.livejournal.com]

I'm Dephanie Jao. I bet I'm the only one on Facebook with that name. You can add me!

[troisroyaumes]

Added! ^_^

[harumi.livejournal.com]

Confirmed! XD

there may be fics with objectionable content.
::whistles innocently::

[love_archived]

Young lady, that is an objectionable icon. Be careful, the WFI is looking. ^_^

[troisroyaumes]

XD Have to admit though, the smut for Hikago has always remained pretty mild, relatively speaking.

[aishuu.livejournal.com]

Thanks... it looks like things are settling down, but I'm still moving.

[troisroyaumes]

Wait, are you leaving LJ? ;_; I saw your post on locking quillofferings to members-only but I hadn't realized you were thinking about moving as well.

[petronia.livejournal.com]

Sabina Tang on facebook, though I'm not moving. ^^;

[troisroyaumes]

Added you! ^_^ Oh good, I'm glad people are sticking around.

[starlighter.livejournal.com]

Sue Mei Cheah on Facebook, no clue as to whether I'm moving (I rather doubt it) :)

[troisroyaumes]

Added! Oh, and I'll still be in New York during most of July, so we should definitely hang out. ^_^

Facebook (http://cmu.facebook.com/profile.php?id=4811514)

IMO the idea of moving is pretty fucking retarded. SO I'll still be around.

[troisroyaumes]

Added! And yes, I'm glad that most of my fandom friends are staying; I've grown rather attached to this LJ over the years and would find it difficult to uproot myself.

[lacewood]

I'm Loo Pei Yi, if I remember right. Email pl244@cornell.edu, I THINK. It's been years since I logged in. XD

I'm too lazy to move and lose all my old archives/comments/etc unless a) they throw me off or b) everyone moves. But oh well, I guess it's a reason to not lust after paid accounts anymore! MONEY, SAVED.

[troisroyaumes]

Added you! And yes, I'm too lazy to move as well, so I'm kind of glad things are settling down now. ^_^
