LJ X-Posting END NOTICE

[akk]

Dear readers on LiveJournal,

this will be the last cross-posted entry to LiveJournal, so if you are one of the few people still following my updates, please bookmark my Dreamwidth Journal http://akk.dreamwidth.org for further contact. You can easily reach me there logging in with your LiveJournal account under open-ID.
I'm sorry for the few ppl I inconvenience with this, but frankly, the overwhelming majority of my contacts either disappeared or moved to DW, most of the communities and fandoms I followed are dead with Viewfinder's "Club Sion" and "Yamane Ayano" being the notable exception, and LJ's interface has long since become a pain in the mors even for checking the crossposts once in a blue moon.

Hope to meet you on DW,
AKK

My friendslists are also quiet, but it's always been that way. However, LJ begins to feel very deserted, not only on my friendslist but also with respect to the communities. They are still there, but posts are once a year, usually along the line of "R U still there?" Stuff just no longer happens there, and the interface has become something of a facebook clone with all the hassles.
Since I moved ages ago, it's just a decision of whether or not I want to continue providing content there, and frankly, I don't see any benefit for that any more.

It looks as if fandom as a group moved to more visual oriented sites, such as Tumblr, but that doesn't work for my kind of content, so I keep with my blog, my archive, and my website. Most of my fannish contacts these days are blog-to-blog or even via facebook, no communities any longer. So there's not much of a leap for me, only a decision which interface / service I like better. And in that, DW wins hands down for me.

Frankly, I don't think anyone would have noticed, had I not made the "no more x-posting" post in the first place. I just considered it fair to give a warning/notice in case someone is still looking/waiting for fic (even though that died a long time ago for LJ).
