It's been a long time since LJ has given a shit what people think. I hated the Facebook changes but I never voiced my opinion about it because I don't really care. I do care about LJ changes and I've voiced my opinion in the past but it never matters and that makes me angry because I CARE! I want my voice heard but I feel like I'm shouting into an empty room.
Mostly, though, I was just taking a sort of poll to see where my Flist was at. Guess they're mostly staying here.
Yeah, I'm...looking about about the same time - maybe a bit less, but not by much. When I first came here, you had to have a code. I'm...I'm angry, but I also get fixated on things, so I'm going to go and re-fixate myself on fic (which, ahhhhhhh, *pokes current WiP and headdesks* Gosh I need help with it, why did I decide to write a fic with the TEAM in it, why). Screw them. DW is lovely, and cares, and is devoted to accessibility, and the owners reply to comments and concerns. But livejournal does not give shit, will never again give a shit, and I'm kinda wondering where people got the impression that it does from.
Mostly my flist is already over on DW, so I'm just....mostly here now for the MCU/CN crew *g* So, yessss, start commenting over on my DW :DDDD
If LJ deigns to decide that people can change colouration I'll be a bit better off when the changes happen, but as it is, it takes me about ten seconds to start squinting >.<
I thought about poking at my WIP (it was supposed to be light hearted and has taken a turn for sudden angst that has me stymied!) before NaNo begins for me... just a little over 2 hours to wait.
I vaguely remember a time when LJ cared. When it was small. Well, smallish. And it was the only thing out there and we COULDN'T move without losing half our friends. But now we can move and no one wants to. Or, at least, no one I know. *grins* But I'm glad we have options. I like options!
Ooooops, it's annoying when things do that. My last fic where I'm having trouble with tone is Budapest, which. I have no idea. So, I'm leaving it for the moment in favour of de-aged Natasha (WHICH, AHHH, HOW DO PEOPLE WRITE TONY AND BRUCE, HOOOOOOOW. HOW IS NATASHA SUPPOSED TO GET OUT OF THE INFIRMARY, BAH. But I posted a snippet I actually like on my journal, yay). Oh, InNaNo (sorry, it's decidedly international, and it bugs me that it's still national). I do something much more my speed, wrisomifu. It's glorious and the community is great. So, GOOD LUCK WITH NANO.
Options are awwwwwwesome. But, fandom is loath to move, so, my comms are mostly still over here. Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. Come over to DW that cares and doesn't cause physical harm, and things.
"grins* I love writing Tony! Bruce is sort of a deadpan Tony, really. He thinks the snark instead of saying it. But Tony. Ah, Tony. He's the voice to every snarky remark I've ever wanted to say and haven't said. Of course, I've never written him outside of a fic that Aster and I started working on that will probably never see the light of day. But I love him so much!
I can't have a lot of community in the midst of NaNo (or InNaNo which I suppose could catch on) because then I get wrapped up in commenting and not writing. I can only stretch myself so thin as a cheerleader before I start to crack. wrisomifu just seems a little intense and large for me but if it helps people write more than they would have written before, I'm all for it!
*waves hands about* They stress me out, I have no idea about their opinions or reactions to things. *makes a face* And then I worry fandom'll dislike what I do, because I view them not nearly as woobie-ish as fandom generally does. Oh, well, I'll just have to bite the bullet, I guess.
Ah, that makes sense! I can't do NaNo as it stresses me out too much, but I like the cheerleading of wrisomifu. And the showing off of things every Friday :D
Unless you're writing internal!Bruce, just have him look passively around and try to stay out of the way. But he does chime in on things that you would never expect him to chime in on! That is the Bruce twist!
And Tony is all about what is good for Tony. Even if he isn't woobie-ish, he's still looking out for number one. Yes, he may relent now and then but it's an aberration when it does happen! *grins*
I like the push that NaNo gives me. I'm hoping this is the year where I get something useful out of it. Usually, when I do it the way I've done it the last five years, it hasn't worked and I'm tired of writing about what I was writing about after November. But this year I'm hoping that going about it a different way will give me something new in the world building/plot to work with so that I can sit down in January and really start pounding out this novel.
I usually post even my original stuff at my journal so it's nearly as good as getting to show things off! I get one or two hits off it and it makes me happy!
I've got internal!Bruce as well. Because I'm a masochist. The prompt was for the team's reactions to a 12yo and dangerous Natasha, so in my head, that's multi!POVs. I think I just need to go and...read good POV!fics of the pair of them, and see what happens and if that helps *pokes them* the fandom darlings, and I view them both as jerks - jerks who do good things sometimes, but jerks. Thiiiiis'll be fun *g*

I'm going to try to be better about being on DW.
