*taps LJ* - is this thing on?
Jun. 9th, 2013 05:06 pm***
It’s been very quiet around LJ for a while (at least on my flist, where are all you people?) but, for me, the other social networking platforms just don’t fill the hole of blogging and interacting and talking with people and writing about things at length, like LJ does. So, in a concentrated effort to be a part of the solution, not the problem, I’m doing something inspired by the 100 Things Challenge (sadly, it doesn’t seem to be updating any more so I haven’t officially signed up).
*pause for collective snort of disbelief.
Yes, it’s true. No, I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it but that’s not really the point for me. The point is to have a reason for creating LJ content and to do the things that I have signed up to do. I’ve divided the 100 things into two groups, so I’m doing 50 books I've read with short reviews (including work-related academic books) and 50 recipes I’ve tried/created with comments. Doing both with only a few months' 'backlog' so everything is recent stuff, not something I read/cooked years ago.
I’ll be posting both in the groups of 5 as I finish the books/recipes so watch out for those under the relevant tags.

Speaking of quiet LJ and creating content, I have two other ideas but I would like to know if anyone (read: YOU) would be interested in joining in and pimping them. Because otherwise I’ll be all sad and pathetic :(
Idea 1. Fandom-friendly friending meme, tentatively titled ‘Still LJ’ing!’ – I’ve seen a couple single-fandom ones going on and then I’ve seen some general ones, but a) I’m chronically multifandom and b) the latter sometimes appears to attract people who are vehemently anti-fandom, which makes me sad.
Idea 2. Anonymous porn meme – For people to talk about porn/erotica (fanfic, commercial fic, pics, art, clips, films etc.), e.g. likes, dislikes, turn-ons, turn-offs, recs, opinions, dirty jokes, serious commentary, requests, fills, random porny ficlets…
So… thoughts, comments, suggestions?
