time for my bi-annual lj check-in, I guess

Everything else in my internet life is in a major throwback mode rn (I'll get to that in a minute), so I suppose it is only natural to also feel like visiting the ghost town that is livejournal. I do miss you, lj! Tumblr is the least social social media platform I have ever seen. I don't understand why fandom migrated to a website that doesn't even

staring longingly at all these threaded comments tbqh

remember hijacking parties omg my youth

I didn't post about it much on tumblr because I never post much ~original content~ on tumblr but oh man do I have a major crush on Matt Murdock. HIS FACE PARTS ARE SO PLEASING???

I haven't reread HP in maybe 2 or 3 years, which is a long time for me, but I do know that every time I reread them, I fall into a spell where I write nonstop fanfiction and then...not post it because I'm ashamed lol

LOL I KNOW. Multiple people replying to each other in a clear and coherent way? No character limit? An easy one-click and generally infallible way to reply to someone??? What in the world!

Liz and I had an entire discussion via email last week about hypothetical misguided wizard Tumblr sj that would definitely have been better suited to an LJ thread.

lol Matt Murdock made me confront some harsh realities about the kinds of tropes I super like. He is just so charming.

It's been a long time since I was feeling this fic-y and it's really weird. I don't remember how to cope with it. I'm at work and all I want to do is go home and write fanfiction like it's 2008 and I should be studying for finals.

IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2015!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THIS A NOVEL-LENGTH FIC? IT BETTER BE. I'M ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR IMAGINING THIS. God I miss James and Lily. I've read every good fic for them on the internet at this point so PLEASE CREATE SOME MORE. Also did you see this today

[_thirty2flavors]

IT'S NOT. I CAN'T DO NOVEL LENGTH FICS ON MY OWN. I'VE TRIED AND SILLY LOVE SONGS WAS THE RESULT. IT IS HOWEVER LIKE 20 PAGES LONG? 20 pages of Lily/James fic in 2015 and it, frankly, will probably not be the last Harry Potter fic I write in this frenzy

I kept this comment notification in my inbox for awhile because the entire two paragraphs about our new hair product overlords makes me laugh so much every time I read it. West Egg James Potter is IN STYLE and I also love it. I only wish I could grab every languishing James/Lily writer out of their retirements (like you ahahaha) to capitalize on this. Where is the UR list of authors and how do I bother them all?

Right? It's the best. James Potter on rich kids of instagram!! All the other purebloods staring down their champagne flutes in disgust.

One of Tumblr's rec-a-posts for me the other day was from Bee Daily. Is she still writing?? Is Commentarius still being updated in 2015.
