First of all, I love Sunday morning musings...

Secondly, I totally agree that it's harder to leave LJ because you get more invested. I found Harry Potter fandom on LJ. I actually came here 4 or so years ago because I was a mad Firefly fan and several people from another site I went to came here to start publishing their fanfic. I came here to read. I made friends with people who had similar interests and then their other interests (Harry Potter) caught my attention and I read OTHER stuff and made MORE friends and now I know these people... we send snail mail, Christmas cards, I've met some in real life... now even in all things fandom went away, I'd still be here for my friends. Which wasn't the point at all to begin with.

Who knew? I consider myself lucky, either way.
