Tell me your name

As a way of keeping track of you all...

[Poll #1034231]

I'm not leaving, although I'd kind of like to. I don't know what to do-- I'm feeling very depressed about lj, specially because Abe Hassan (aka burr86 and livejournal employee) thinks now is a good time to publicly mock the fans.

The entry with his comment was eventually deleted by the community mod, but there's a screenshot here, and an article about it here. I was really pissed off about it yesterday, but this morning my expression matches the one in my icon. I am feeling rather blank about the whole thing.

I'm having similar thoughts about leaving as you, I kind of want to, but it would be such a hassle, as every move is. So far I've created other accounts, but not used them at all yet. I will see if I find a good compromise in another place, and if that happens, I'll let you know.

I guess ultimately it will depend on where most of my followed authors go to, because well, fandom is what brought me to LJ, and if everyone leaves, I'll follow without any doubt.

I think this is very true with most people - we are here for the fic and we don't want to lose people - lj has such a lot of features that let fans exist independently but nevertheless in large communities and I'll be sorry to lose that.
