Friends Only!

[snarry_fan7]

Due to the recent events on LJ, I have decided to make my journal friends only. As long as you don't seem to be a troll or a stalker I have no problem friending anyone. Just leave a comment here and I'll get to it as soon as possible. It's not necessary to leave your age or birth date, if you want to I won't stop you though.

I had a Friends Only pic up, but I'm sick of seeing the PhotoBucket crap plastered over it, so I took it down. I wish DW would let us directly upload a photo on a post.

Ah, sorry. I'll check to make sure I'm following you on there as well. I'm happy to be your friend too. :)

I moved away from LJ when the majority of the Snarry side of the HP fandom moved away during one of LJ's many purges years back (might back been the big strikethrough purge that made us relocate to InsaneJournal). I stick to IJ for some HP stuff. I stay on LJ for Sherlock and some other fandoms and a few friends. I'm on tumblr most of the time though. I do my fic reading mostly on AO3 (and other sites and stuff). I have a bunch of works in progress that I work on at random. When any of them get to the point that I want to post them, I'll put them on AO3 and put a link to the fic on here.

Aw, thank you for going on a liking spree on my Tumblr! It's really fun to see all the notifications pop up *g*

And yes please to posting a link to your fic on LJ too? I don't always catch things like that on Tumblr, my dash is too insane for that, but on LJ I actually do read every post. I guess I'm still very old-school, but I like LJ for the diary aspect as well. It's where I keep my memories! While on Tumblr (as you saw) it's just an extravaganza of Sherlock love.

I realized that I hadn't friended you back and then I got to scrolling through, lol. I've a bunch of fics I'm working on and none of them are ready to be posted. A few long Snarry fics, but I'm not even halfway through with them and I don't like posting WIPs when I have no idea if they'll be completed. Probably because I understand the feeling of waiting months, or years, for a fic to be updated. Yeah, my Tumblr is mostly Sherlock, Hannibal, fluffy feel-good happy stuff, and the like. I do some fic hunting on LJ, but I tend to just go right to AO3 for that. I go through LJ about once a day (same for InsaneJournal), whereas I'm on Tumblr the whole day pretty much. That said, considering that LJ is pretty much owned by Russia now, I'm not sure how I feel. I worry that I'll go to get on one day and it'll have been disappeared. That's also why I don't post fics directly to LJ anymore (and really why I'm not that active on LJ beyond lurking).

Oh no, you're in WIP hell! I agree on not posting like that though, I never do it either, it doesn't seem right if you're not sure where it's going to get people involved in it yet. I like Hannibal too! Still hoping for more some day. And about LJ being owned by Russia, I'm never sure how dire it really is? I would hate to lose it though, hopefully they're not evil enough to delete a whole platform! But yeah, it's better to have a back-up in place just in case.

[snarry_fan7]

Yeah. For me it's very difficult to write short fics. I've managed a few, two of which are on AO3, but all of my others are very long already (18+ single-spaced pages) without even being halfway through (and they're all very plotty, lol).

I really hope we'll see the return of Hannibal in some form. I think s4 would be them on the run (getting captured at the end by Jack or someone else in the FBI), s5 might be with them back in Baltimore in the mental institution helping Clarice, and then they'd escape again and live happily ever after, lol. :D

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure, but apparently there's been some fuss about the servers being relocated. I'm not sure where they've been moved to. I know a lot of people jumped ship when whatever Russian company bought LJ a few years ago.
