Sometimes people return...

Ok... only 11 years. Yeah... "only". I'm ever so sorry! My life just started going through a whirlwind of madness and i completely forgot about my Livejournal.

So... How to update you. Let's see.

1. I got married in 2011. We tied the knot in Rome in Santa Maria in Campitelli on the 14th of May. It was a gorgeous day and almost everything went well ( Read more... )

Hi! Wow, it sounds like you've had a very busy 11 years--congratulations on the family and new life in Ireland!

Hello, good to see you around and hear about the great new things in your life! I returned in February last year after a hiatus of eight years, and now you've beaten what I thought was a record!

I still write about my Remus, now only one-shot fics but without contradicting the story I wrote in 2003 - 2010. Until November I posted only on LJ without any hope for feedback. Then I moved to Dreamwidth (with the same user name) and crossposted here until it stopped working.

I hope you'll have time for and enjoy writing - although I'm sad we no longer share a fandom.

hi! So is everyone gone from livejournal? i know that nowadays there are things like tumblr or instagram, but I still think that livejournal is a good platform. I may have a look into this dreamwidth.

Glad that you kept writing Remus. i love your Remus *_* And yeah... sad that i don't write any more for the same fandom, but i can still read HP fanfics... Just sevvie's death in canon was such a big blow for me that it took me a long time to recover. She sailed and sank one of my favourite ships all at the same time. 🤷‍♀️ I may take a look at your new stories 😊 I always like some very well written Remus focused piece of writing!

A lot of people started leaving around 2009, and there are hardly any of those journals active which I had friended. But there are some communities which are (still) on both LJ and DW, for instance hp_getlucky and hp_drizzle. I don't think I could get used to Tumblr, but DW is a lot like LJ, just not so much focused on fandom-specific or pairing-specific communities, or fic posted on communities or on personal journals, as everyone uses AO3 as the archive.

Oh, thank you for your kind words. There sure were some sad and disappointing turns in the final HP books, but a lot of people still write also stories which don't follow everything JKR has written or said.

Hi, nice to see you back! From time to time I come back to see if someone posted something, then I post a couple of entries, and then I go on hiatus again... But I haven't stayed away for a whole 11 years.
Congrats on your marriage and kids! I got married in 2011 as well, and my kids were born in 2014 and 2016. Severus' death put me off HP for a while too, but a while ago, I re-read the books, and I've read fanfic where he was rescued one way or another, and that's mollified me a bit.

I used to crosspost to LJ, but this somehow doesn't seem to work anymore, so my most recent posts are currently only on Dreamwidth (I am Schnurble there as well)

Hi! Nice to hear from you again and congratulations even to you, for your own wedding. Funny... we got married the same year ad our kids have the same age difference, just yours were born a year later thank mine.

I have created an account at Dreamwidth, but don't know really what's the difference with LJ and why everyone seem to have moved to it. It's just because the community has moved or is Dreamwidth in any way superior or better?
