NaBloPoMo Day 21
21 What about LJ keeps you coming back? (Because let's be honest. This place is old. BUT WE ALL LOVE IT ANYWAY. WHY???)
Honestly? Because it's my fandom home.
I have been here for over ten years, that's a lot of memories invested here. I love the format, even when DDOS attacks mean you can't get into it for ages. I love my user pics and how I have more than I could ever possibly use. I love the people here, new and old, and I love how familiar it is. I'm not a great one for moving on to the shiny new thing just because it's the shiny new thing.
I say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and LJ ain't broke for me yet.
I've been meaning to link this since I tracked it down since seeing it in tumblr - it's for fandom but it rings true for my LJ experience as well.
Fandom was/is just a phase. Fandom could never be just a phase. Fandom is where you found a friend, a sister, a kindred spirit. Fandom is where you found a talent, a love, a reason. Fandom is where you found yourself.
Go read - it's awesome.
