Well, That Was Fun, If By Fun You Mean, 'It Sucked.'

So, lj has issued an apology, and while I have my problems with it and agree with Perverted-Justice, lj did come out and say that they'd screwed the pooch. I can only hope they now start correcting the mistakes that they've made over the past week.

*sigh* You know, I was really looking forward to renewing my lj subscription and getting more user pics next month, and now I'm really not.

And I know how ostrich-like this sounds, but I'd like it if fandom and lj could return to being my happy place, instead of another instance of people trying to muzzle each other for being different.

Possibly. But I guess I still need to stretch my imagination muscles in that direction a bit more; it's still a challange for me.

Well, streching your limits is always good (except when it's not.) It'd fun if you go, I hey I think I'm going to try and write [blank] just to see if I can!

True. Currently I'm at the stage of 'Flail' when it comes to the thought of writing it. I'll try after I've taken a more relaxed attitude, perhaps.

And "Try to write just to see if I can", for me, usually winds up involving Care Bears or a fandom no one else has ever thought to write in in some way.

Yeah, wait until it's less *flial* and more, I'd like to try this....

Also, 1 sentence fics are great for that because it's one sentance! You can be vague and hot and dirty all at once!

Speaking of, I read that care bears S&M fic you linked a long time back. I was disturbed.

*nod* I'll write it when I'm ready to. A one-sentence fic might work. . . gotta work out just the right sentence, though.

That's the average reaction to Care Bears BDSM. "AGH! My childhood!" and "That was disturbingly well-researched" seem to be the most popular two.
