WHY ARE ALL MY ICONS OUT OF ORDER WHEN I COMMENT I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING!!!!!!!!



P.S. The Love of my Life has the most epic cryface ever. I love it.

Y'all, I have no idea what's going on with lj right now, but every time I try to post my new chapter, it messes things up, repeating some things and cutting off the end of the chapter for no reason. It also won't let me delete posts. So I've set my several attempts at posting the chapter to a private setting (so if you saw the a chapter was up and now it's gone, that's where it went), and I will try to repost again in a few minutes. If it doesn't work tonight, though (it's 9:30 PM for me at the moment), then it might have to wait till in the morning (or, heaven forbid, till later if it takes longer than that for lj to work itself out). I really apologize, but this is beyond my control.

Needless to say I am not amused.

Obviously I have a lot of complaints about how lj chooses to run its business (by which I mean: how it chooses to FAIL ON A DAILY BASIS), but I really think the thing that bugs me most is that I can only have 150 interests on my profile. I'm sorry, that is just not enough. I am a very interested person. I have lots of interests. And I should not be limited in my interests!

OH GUESS WHAT I HAVE GREAT NEWS BY WHICH I MEAN THE WORST NEWS EVER.

LJ keeps making changes! Changes that make me want to kill someone, and somehow I missed this one until I went to make a new sticky post today and found that we can't.

Because now you can only have one sticky post at a time. ONE. You can't edit your journal entries out of chronological order; if you change the date/time, it makes them "scheduled" and they'll post at that given time, but they won't show up until then. ISN'T THAT JUST FANTASTIC.

So I had to edit my already-sticky posts and shuffle things around. Which, thank God I could do that, otherwise I would have ended up screaming and ripping my hair out. But why does lj insist on doing this to us? Do they not understand why we do things the way that we do? WHY WHY WHY? What possible reason could they have for insisting that we only have one sticky post?



In closing, I hate the world.

is anybody else not getting email notifications when people reply to you in their own posts? because i am not.


also: everyone agrees that leslie knope will be winning the bracket this year, right?

LJ has changed things. Again. So bad. I want to throw a temper tantrum. A straight-up conniption fit. Laying on the floor like a two-year-old, kicking my heels and wailing and screaming and crying.

But I'm not going to do that. I'm going to keep it inside. And do a meme instead.

Give me a fandom and I'll answer the following:
Favorite character:
Least Favorite character:
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):
Character I find most attractive:
Character I would marry:
Character I would be best friends with:
a random thought:
An unpopular opinion:
my canon OTP:
Non-canon OTP:
most badass character:
pairing I am not a fan of:
character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another):
favourite friendship:
character I want to adopt or be adopted by:

WHAT THE HELL, ELJAY. Now you're just trying to piss me off.

So there's shit going down, and I'm like...what if we actually all did move over to dreamwidth? Like, I feel like the entire Spuffy community could actually get together and emigrate over there. The reason I haven't is because most everyone is still over here, you know? But seasonal_spuffy's over there now, which I feel like is our central kind of thing that holds us together? Is su_herald there? And then if we got sb_fag_ends and fantas_magoria over there, too (which they may already be cross-posted, for all I know) plus all of our personal journals (I already have one, I just don't use it except occasionally I import my lj over there as a sort of backup), that would pretty much take care of everything, wouldn't it?

I'd be willing to buy more icons over there and get a paid account and everything if I knew that y'all were going to be over there, too. I'd say about 75% of my flist is from Buffyverse fandom. And I'd be willing to continue to crosspost over here for the people who aren't, and of course I'd want to keep up with people who stayed and stuff.

I'm not saying that this is necessarily something that we need to do. And I remember when dreamwidth first started being petrified that fandom would splinter and I wouldn't know how to find people. But if the majority of us made a decision together, I think it would be workable.

Because the privacy stuff that's going on here kind of freaks me out. And lj seems to have about as much respect for its userbase as tumblr does, which is saying something. I can't say that most of the problems with lj are things that affect me personally, because they don't (not being someone who rps or makes a lot of changes to the css). But privacy is different. That affects all of us. And it's unacceptable that people are being logged into other people's accounts, including those of people who are selling things via lj and whose inboxes contain information on other people's paypal accounts, addresses, etc. The fact that the management here hasn't seen this as something that needs to be dealt with is what makes me think we might be better off on another site.

That said, I know some people don't like dreamwidth, and I've never got a real clear read on why that is? So if you have strong anti-dreamwidth feelings, do you mind letting me know what your reasoning is? I'm sure there are legitimate complaints, I just don't know what they are.

Anyone got any thoughts? Again, not saying that this is something that definitely needs to happen. I'm going or staying wherever the majority of fandom is. But I'm thinking, you know?

Also, the new font in the entry box is FUGLY. The Fug Girls would not approve.
