I have found the perfect word for the Shakespeare Generator:

( It is here. )

From fajrdrako.

( I don't know what that means. )

Because it still is funny.

( ETA: time wasters )

I want to leave LJ.

But. Where will I read fic? Where will you read my fic? Where will the news happen? Where will the talking happen, other than with the small group that knows where I chat?

And why greatestjournal?

I'm so glad and, dare I use the word, empowered, that we as a group have such a political power and weight. It's fun. Sort of makes me wanna take over the world demand rights, visibility and acceptance.

Of course it also makes me wish we had better structure and basis and place to play. But I've been saying it since I joined LJ many years ago and really, the "we" never quite looks up to *me*. What can I do.

ETA:
I was very anti-LJ from before I joined, and all along. But I feel vaguely disloyal bitching about them now. They fucked up, yes. Everybody fucks up. That's not why I have called all along for a move. I called for a move - lonely voice in the darkness that I am - because LJ, or any other journaling type, is just not a good fandom tool. It makes things more about the personal people than the stories/art/etc. It makes publishing for the audience almost impossible. It makes things much more niche-y without supplying larger "community" spaces. It allows for news to travel through individuals, which is great and obviously worked very well in some cases, but then it makes it rely on individuals, and there I have a problem. It makes things messy.

I'm not making myself clear. I feel dizzy from all the political activity.

From meret, who got Haiku:

I am, of course, none other than blank verse. I don't know where I'm going, yes, quite right; And when I get there (if I ever do) I might not recognise it. So? Your point? Why should I have a destination set? I'm relatively happy as I am, And wouldn't want to be forever aimed Towards some future path or special goal. It's not to do with laziness, as such. It's just that one the whole I'd rather not Be bothered - so I drift contentedly; An underrated way of life, I find. What Poetry Form Are You?

from Caia:

Comment with two characters I write [or you think I could/should write], and I'll tell you about their first kiss.

From janedavitt:
Describe something, anything, in 26 words, in alphabetical order. Post them here or on your own LJ.


[General]
A barren cross, devoid enough; for god's hell's irresistible. Jealous kindred learn more. No order, precious quest rolls, strutting, towards unearthed, voyeuristic world. Xenophobia, your zeal.


[Ethan Rayne]
Alone, because Chaos devoted Ethan for grandeur, hell, individuality. Joking kindly. Learning man, nature, other. Pouring questions, rousing storms. Teaching untraditional values. Without x-factor, yearning zygosis.


[Giles' POV]
And Buffy. Careless, dangerous. Easy, fun-loving girl. Her inner juncture - kill, live, mourn, never offer pause... Queen's ransom, strength's tiara. Unity, victory: Willow, Xander... young, zealous.


[Methos]
Adam's been careful, decades, eons, for generations. Hidden in juniority. Kronos loved Methos, no options presented, questions ruled-out systematically. To unwilling veteran, warning, x-sign, yield, zehirut.


[Duncan]
Always be chivalrous, Duncan. Even for girls. Help in jeopardy. Kill lawless men, neuter oppressive patrons. Quart random strangers, teach unsuspecting villains. Wield x-rated yoga Zen.
