Yesterday (Sunday the 25th) was my 7th anniversary of being on LiveJournal. Isn't that crazy? It feels crazy, anyway - crazy enough that I'm actually posting something on my ghost-town journal. I was 13, back then, obsessed with the Ocean's 11 fandom. Now I'm 20 and in college and I just feel so far away from 13-year-old me. (Especially when I look

I am so glad we met.

Me tooooooo. Life Without Jen seems so terribly sad - and, oddly, like it would have been distressingly Gabe/William-free, since I'm pretty sure I got into that via your fic.

Isn't it the weirdest feeling? I posted my first ever fic seven years ago last month, and it's so weird to think how much I've changed (in great part, because of fandom).

[formerlydf]

It just... gets into your life, doesn't it? I mean, I'm sure I would have changed even without LJ and fandom, just because people change a lot in seven years, but I feel like I would be a completely different person. Plus, I'm pretty sure my writing would be absolutely awful.

Also: I meant to link you to this earlier, because I know you like Star Wars, and then I completely forgot because I have the memory of a goldfish, but have you seen What If Star Wars: Episode 1 Were Actually Good? I haven't seen Ep 1, but I've decided that I'm just going to live in ignorance and pretend it went this way instead.

It really does. I posted my first fic ever on Valentine's Day of 2005, and this year, I spent the weekend before Valentine's Day sitting on the couch of a friend I know through a convoluted chain of fandom friends introducing me to other people who then drag me into fandoms; thinking about it is kind of surreal. It's crazy how different I would be without fandom.

Oh cool, thanks! I'll watch that in just a minute. Have you really not seen Ep 1? It's ... I don't know, I think it's worth seeing once.

Happy LJversary! Here's to many more. :x

Man, on my 10th anniversary I'm going to feel both ridiculously proud and ridiculously old.

[aurora_84]

Yesssss, it will be wonderful! Stick around till then, mmmkay!

(My LJ turns 8 in October. So weird. And cool.)

HEY YOU.

Both our journals are like ghost towns, these days. I miss catching up with you! Are you on Twitter or Tumblr? That's generally where I am most of the time.

Congratulations on 7 years! <33

HEY HEY HEY I'VE MISSED YOU. (I keeping reading high school fics and thinking about our awesome AU, too.)

I am actually on neither Twitter nor Tumblr, although I have been strongly considering both of them - leaning a little more towards Tumblr, just because I continually find myself thinking in short sentence fragments that would really make more sense in that context than anywhere else. Is it worth getting one, do you think?

[annon_of_rhi]

Ahhhh, our awesome AU. It is truly the awesomest. I re-read it last month actually. Good times.

I just said this in the comments to your most recent post, but yes! It is a lot of fun. I really like twitter a lot too, though. I've never been a great journaler (is that a word?) because I could just never sit down long enough to put sentences in an order that made sense and described my thoughts. (Probably why I can never finish a fic, either.) But twitter is good because I can type out that short brain burst and it's done and over and onto the next thing. You know?

[formerlydf]

Ahahaha, it is okay! I am sure there will be plenty of other opportunities for you to try to convince me to write fic.

I keep feeling like robot!Mark needs more plot than them just sitting around and Mark explaining how he infected himself with emotions, though. The problem is that he's too visible of a figure to get snatched by the company, so I'm kind of stuck about whether to just keep it as it is or try to add some sort of twist.
