When random distractions go elsewhere...

[quaggy]

So... I has a tumbler now. I noticed within the past year that LJ has become far less Fandom Central than it has in years past. Problem is, I'm in a fairly challenging program and I need my distractions to keep me sane! Fortunately, Fandom Central hasn't seemed to have disappeared, just switch platforms. So off to Tumbler I have gone, but I don't intend to close up shop over here just yet. This is still the main home for Quaggy fanfic and I want to be able to keep up with those who are still on LJ. Besides, I prefer LJ as a platform to have a discussion, so if I do ever post something that I've generated (and we all know how infrequently that happens) I'll make sure it lives at both places. Okay, off to go be distracted by shiny things!

That's why I don't do Tumblr....I have never really gotten the hang of creating any of the visual/graphics arts....I wish someone could sit over my shoulder and teach me. :-/

So for me, 'fandom' is 85% discussion, 15% sharing the pretty.

Tumblr has the percentages reversed, possibly even more so. So I just don't get the kind of fandom energy that I need from that. :-(

Yep to all. Plus it seems like people are so young. Not everyone, but I realised just now that a fic I was squeeing over that someone wrote for her friend, was for the friend's 19th birthday. Eek.

Everyone's so young. The girl I've been chatting OUaT with (who has some great commentary and insights) is just graduating high school.

At least my favorite House-fic writer is our age! ;-)
