I will go there, and back again.

++ Don't forget the all the fandoms friending meme along with the new multi-fandom friending meme. All the friending memes!

++ I am now in possession of the tickets for the midnight premiere of The Battle of the Five Armies. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

I've only ever been to a few midnight premieres in my life, I think two from Harry Potter (not counting the midnight book releases) and the most recent one for Desolation of Smaug. I think midnight premieres only work best when it's a particular franchise with fans. I remember going to the last Deathly Hallows midnight premiere and there were people dressed in costumes, someone was dressed as a Snitch running around the theaters with someone trying to catch them. Some people were dressed up for The Hobbit last year, too. The only downsides to midnight premieres though, aside from having to wait in line for hours just to get the good seats, are people who get drunk and end up being loud and obnoxious, or people who end up being immature in general just to show off and be stupid. I had only one unpleasant incident during the DOS premiere, so I'm hoping it doesn't happen for BOTFA.

It's definitely not dead, but it's certainly not as active as it used to be during its heyday. Most of fandom has migrated to Tumblr and when you look around, especially with communities that have been abandoned, it's pretty evident that it's become kind of a ghost town. Though it is interesting seeing people on Tumblr go "hey remember LJ? good times" and I just wanna go bUT WE'RE STILL HERE?? YOU CAN COME BACK! WE WANT YOU BACK esp icon makers bc srsly lol

Hmm, I guess that makes sense. A few of my closer LJ friends from a few years ago, who I'm still in contact with on facebook, got caught in the tumblr trap. One of them recently told me she's tried to get back into LJ but hasn't been able to.
