I am curious (purple)

[gwyn]

One of the things that the past couple weeks or so brought home to me is that I'm completely bewildered by why anyone reads this LJ. I know most of my flist comes from the Jossverse -- especially Buffy fans. Judging by the response to last week's new chapter of my F&F WIP, it's not for the F&F fic updates. Many of you are folks I know through fandom, especially vidding. And then there's the inevitable confusion over why I get both massively defriended after a usage post, but also friended by a lot of new people, and many of them haven't been shy about telling me it's boring if I don't do more usage posts. At this point I almost have no idea what to use it for anymore. I would actually be grateful if you'd do the ticky box thing, and let me know, so I can figure out what to focus on. As it is, with fic, I'm trying to put the focus back in the Buffy since I think there's clearly more interest there, but is there something else I should be wasting words on?

I didn't play in the poll because I couldn't find one (of five) that said what I think. *g* I like reading your journal because you're interesting and it's interesting. I like hearing about what's going on with you because I really did enjoy meeting you. Your interests go towards making you you. Even when I don't share the same interests, I still like hearing about yours because it contributes a) towards me knowing you and b) towards me knowing a little bit more beyond my horizon. Some times I skip some show specific posts about shows that I don't watch, but I know that they're there, and even something like knowing that you like Mag7 or Buffy or the Fast and the Furious paints a bigger picture of you, and I'd never want you to hide that love because someone didn't want to read it.

that's cool to know -- I think that in the past few weeks, I've had this sense that the sheer ADDness of my interests has been annoying more than a few people, and while it's my space, I also am not terrifically driven to do something like this unless I know there's people who want to read it. (It's been a weird few weeks)

Or maybe it's just that vidders are extra cool.
