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?

Basically I have you friended because I find you a cool and interesting person with cool and interesting things to say. Even though I'm not as interested in vidding as your Buffy fic, I still usually read your vidding posts and find something to enjoy about them, so it's not like I'd want you to stop posting about *any* of these things. I want you to post what *you* want to post, basically. I just plain like you!

I like reading about my friends' lives a lot, but sometimes, especially with how things have gone lately, I realize that the same might not be true here, especially for the peeps who came in because of the essays or the usage stuff. It's hard to get a handle on. Originally I never even talked about personal stuff, but boy, you sure do slide once you get used to this place, don't you?
