I've become a very laid-back LJer. I'm not in any fandoms to the extent that I want to participate in comms, and I don't read much fic (although I dl'd several Katniss/Peeta and Remus/Tonks fics to my Kindle to read in the car today, WE ARE LIVING IN THE FUTURE). My "people" flist-filter itself has slowed down to, really, six or seven people who post somewhat regularly - I haven't heard from a lot of people in ages, although maybe they've just filtered me out, IDK. My "costume" flist-filter is about half as slow as the people filter, but back when more people people posted the costume:people ratio was a lot lower.

In general, it seems like LJ is slowing a bit, but the fannish part is slowing a lot faster.

I think 'waves' of popularity are normal. I have every faith that when "The Next Big Thing" comes along, people will be back.

Pretty much anything I'm into comes back to LJ in some way, so I haven't felt it dying down or anything. IMO, it's their personal part of LJ that makes them think so. People have been claiming LJ has been dying for a long time now.

I love lj and hate to see that it is, as you put it, dying. I saddens me. :(

I miss reading multiple posts from friends and posts in the multiple comms that I used to enjoy. I refuse to leave though, and will stay here till I'm kicked out. so there!

I started my livejournal to share my writing, and then I only ended up sharing a handful of stories & poems. It became a place to chronicle my life. It's attached to my real identity, so most of it is f-locked.

I started my blogspot last somewhere as a place to address something that had been on my mind for awhile. It's anonymous, so I can be more candid without locking entries. On the other hand, I can't just link it around to facebook like I do my travel writing on livejournal.

The problem with so many social media options--and having so many friends around the world--is that I've spread myself too thin.

I want the work I'm doing on blogspot to turn into a book, though, so that's where my energies are focused right now.

But I do miss the community here.
