Meh. I don't know, I read what you write and I think it sounds like a very small, flocked journal does most of this and reduces the expectations, because you limit it to those who expect nothing. ♥ How do you live without icons?

That's not what I meant by expectations. I meant mostly *how* I'm expected to participate - like, with a specific level of engagement or a specific *way* of engaging, and with personas and assumptions built-in. honestly that's why posting that death note fic anonymously was AWESOME, because I could still engage with fandom the way *I* wanted; but when people found out it was me doing the engaging, I couldn't engage in the same ways. Hahaha, I'm like Jasmine sneaking out of the temple. :( I hope no one reads this comment. D: i don’t want to stop participating in fandom!!!! That’s not what I meant by expectations.

I created a new "me" space (the blog you linked to) where I don't separate out any of myself, but then I keep a friends-only IJ for the things I might want to say on *any* topic (fandom or personal) that I wouldn't want to put in a public, "real-life" blog. I have LJ-style interaction with a very small group of friends, and then the part of me that is public is just an extension of that. If that makes sense. It's just the difference between what I would say at a party or in a coffee shop, and what I would say on my couch at home with just my nearest and dearest. But I think you crave something even different from all of that, which is what LJ gave you, and I totally get why you are angsting over that. If I still wanted it, I would be angsting too. Bottom line, though? I never thought I could be made really, really happy simply by leaving LJ. But that's exactly what happened. I have never felt better about my online world than I do right now.

I dunno. :/ (Also, I should point out there's no RSS feed of dorrie's new blog, so I can only keep up with her when I remember to. Only paid and permanent users can create RSS feeds.) New journal?
