When I first started using LJ, it was mostly to communicate with people I had met through Harry Potter fanfiction and RPG boards. Eventually, I switched from using LJ for fandom to using LJ to make friends and talk about my life. My RPing became private between just a few people and we only discussed or worked on that through AIM, or other instant messaging. But even those slowly died as real life got too busy.
A few years ago I tried to get back into the Harry Potter fandom on LJ, by joining one of those huge sorting communities. I loved doing the activities and getting involved again, but I only did this for maybe a year before the drama just became too much for me, and I left. I just don't have time or energy to let my pleasure time be filled with meaningless arguing, you know? I don't use LJ for fandom at all anymore. I'll use tumblr instead (which is not without it's problems, but it's so much easier to avoid).
