McShep Match Art: M.I.A.

[elli]

WTf Livejournal? Where is everyone. I just went back 40 and I'm alredy through my flist reading. This is strange. Who of you all is now actively using dreamwidth. Do you believe everyone went there or is fandom just less active generally?

I participated in mcshep_match this year and had a blast. I was even on the winning side! Team War YAY and I have this awesome banner to show for it.


So if you have yet to read the fanfiction or look at the art, go do so!

This is my entry. My prompt to use was Red Herring. Klick in the Preview image to see the actual entry.



Give me some love. I needs it.

Listening to "Die Frei Fragezeichen". I cannot believe those have been around for 30 years.

ps: Small rec: get really awesome fonts for your art at http://www.fontex.org.

The majority of the people who jumped ship to Dreamwidth still crosspost, so I don't think that is it. It's just quiet around here, I guess.

[elli.livejournal.com]

True... but it's been months and it's getting worse. I wonder where they are? Maybe it's just different fandoms but I don't think that's it.

[gaffsie.livejournal.com]

Different fandoms wouldn't account for your flist being quiet though. They would just be talking about something else if that was the case. :/

Maybe it's because it's challenge season? People are still working on their Big Bangs, and a lot of other challenges have opened up since then.

[elli.livejournal.com]

mmmm true. And true..there are a lot of challanges. But I still think it's gotten considerably less stuff.

College/Uni started again, I wouldn't think too much of it.
People are just generally busy ;)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Well... it was slow before as well.. but maybe you're right.

Dreamwidth is not that busy either. There are too many challenges in too many fandoms, uni has started, people who used to post a lot are now busy with the OTW, friendslists need constantly fresh blood because people drift away, etc.

[elli.livejournal.com]

mmmm... does OTW take a lot of time? It's possible?

Ich hab mir auch grade Drei Fragezeichen bei itunes geladen, da werden richtig Kindheitserinnerungen wach :)

[elli.livejournal.com]

Echt ne? Ich hör gerade eine Folge die heisst Vampir im Internet und es ist so lustig, weil Sie erstmal ewig erklären wie das Internet funktioniert und was Hacker sind. Wie eine Lehrkassette.

that fanart is simply stunning, as always :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much :)

I'm on and I comment but I don't post much. I blame Twitter.I say what little I have to say there. :/ I have a Dreamwidth but I never use it. I just saved my name on there. I do think people have gotten less vocal about fandom, though. Not me! Well. Sort of. I watch so much tv I can't make time to discuss it all. I do it for SPN but the rest gets shafted, really.

Pretty wall! Even if I only ship it in a friendly BROTP platonicness and not slashy, I enjoy McShep.

Thanks for the font rec, I don't have many!

[elli.livejournal.com]

You have a twitter account?I'm not on that right?

I never use my dreamwidth either. I started. but then quickly stopped. And me too.. I'm way behind on my watching too.

And good fonts are essential!!!

[killmotion.livejournal.com]

If you have to ask, then no, I'd guess.

I don't see the attraction of DreamWidth. It's basically jsut live LJ but..there's already LJ. Why move? I love LJ. I can hate it sometimes (for it's technical problems) but I love it on the whole.

Yes! I had tonnnns on my PC then it crashed and ever since I got my Mac, I'd forgotten them all so it's been a slow build. I've looked around for font guides and sites but a lot of them are out of date or not what I'm looking for. If you'd like to rec some of your fave (free) fonts, I'd more than happy to listen.

your art is always so amazing ;_;

[elli.livejournal.com]

Thanks, babe!

My last post here was in May and even then that was a dodgy "I'm not really gone" post. The last post with actual content was in Feb.

I still comment here and there, but I've noticed that those on my flist aren't posting as much either. I think we've all tied up with RL stuff, and because the flist is less active you don't feel like posting much either which of course makes flist even less active. Vicious cycle.

I have a dreamwidth, but only use it to comment on one of my friends who has moved there haha.

We need to revive LJ! Or maybe I should just make some new friends who are now active haha. A lot of the great people I knew when I just started LJ have moved on *sniffs*. Glad you are still here *clings*.

And as usual, your art is always awesome Elli! :P

[elli.livejournal.com]

I so know what it's like. I'm making mesh posts right now... not sure if that is the best thign either!

And yes... we need to revive lj..but the only idea I have is to be active. To share myself but then I don't want to share everything, you know.

And thank you. I'm glad you're still here as well. few of the people I knew in the beginning are.

omg 3 Fragezeichen! Peter Shaw war meine erste Große Liebe :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

Heee..rofl. Ich war mehr ein Justus-fan muss ich peinlicher weise gestehen. Heute mag ich Bob. Btw... bob spricht Ben Linus bei Lost.

[subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com]

Heute mag ich auch Bob am liebsten, obviously :D Aber Peter war einfach so toll verpeilt :D
*loooooooooooooooooooool* Woah das ist verstörend :D

[elli.livejournal.com]

Heee..rofl. Ich mochte damals auch Weslex Crusher. Deshalb....

und ich weiß. ich glaube der spricht noch für John Cusack und Edward Norton und nicht für Ben.

Ok warte Oliver Rohrbck spricht Ben Stiller und Richard Fish by Ally McBeal.

Hab da nen Link für dich.

For me it's that I've finally got a job and am just too knackered to post on LJ.

[elli.livejournal.com]

awww *hugz* but you do post. Well..mostly twitter though, right?

[deliranteverse.livejournal.com]

I LOVE this <3

[elli.livejournal.com]
