FYI

You know how it is. You decide to dust off the old LJ after a couple of months of inactivity in anticipation of the new series of Doctor Who (tomorrow, folks, as if you weren't well, well aware of it), and discover that...well, I'm sure you're also well, well aware of the Putin-related Terms of Service unilateral auto-foot-shooting that Livejournal's owners have indulged in. I actually wasn't until I tried to log on yesterday, but I am now.

So, in all conscience, I don't actually feel I can continue to post things to LJ. This post, assuming the cross-posting still works, will probably be the last thing, unless the world unexpectedly comes to its senses at some point in the future. I'm not hopeful of this happening, I'll be honest.

This goes too for the Who@50 comm, to which I will post a separate announcement. The LJ version of the comm is effectively defunct as of now. It will, however, continue pretty much as normal over here on DW, if normal is the word. Not sure how to announce this on LJ without agreeing to the ToS, so I guess I'm just hoping people see it here on DW.

I had planned to be the last person on LJ along with lost_spook. Alas, it was not to be.

I now return you to your normal programming.


EDIT: And the crossposting did fail, so not really sure whether to log in over there to repeat this or not. If you read this, and you're still active on LJ, maybe pass the word on to anybody you know I know. Thanks. ;)

Welcome to dreamland. I'm a little bit happy with the situation after being intially angry at lj. It got me back online, and it seems to have been the impetus to get everyone (myself included) tp actually jump over to dreamwidth, which I suspect will be a lot more relevant with its newly increased usership.

The new series and the big spoiler have me happy burbling with excitement. I finay got around to watching The Husband's of River Song + this year's special and found Nardole to be tolerable. I'm interested in the team TARDIS dynamic going forward since I can't think of a time since the 80s when the TARDIS has had three passengers and no romatic intanglememts.

Finally, it is very good to see you around! Best of luck with your fic (whatever fandom it may be in) and I hope that rl hasn't been too hard on you in the interim.
