in the moderate Aristotelian city

So I've adopted one of the new styles that went live on yesterday's code push. This is strata. I've messed somewhat with the colour theme and some of the layout options, and I've changed some text around to fit with the aesthetic in my head.

I'm not very visual, and this isn't perfect yet - I think I want a bit more colour contrast and a bit more interest (and possibly less pink). So the current look is a work in progress.

We'll see?

Dear Livejournal. Why do you insist upon making me crazy?

Really: all I want is a journal layout that won't hide half my navigation bar? I like the navigation bar, dammit, and I just can't find a layout that doesn't cover it up.

Sigh.

Lord, I'm gonna need to make this journal paid. I have one icon. And it's a wombat in a hat, which is not very fannish, really.

So this is my shiny-and-new public fannish journal. (Hello, pop people! Pop pickers, perhaps?) Except it's not new at all: this was my very first LJ. I'm working on getting all my communities up and running and so on. It's going to be weird using this name again after so many years. But I'm still me really - I think.

All this journal-wrangling is going to take some time and effort, figuring out what I'm going to do from which journal. The writing stuff is easy because that's just all going to be ported, wholesale, to wanderingwombat where it belongs. But it's going to be a little bit like starting all over again in fandom as a new person, and with not much continuity between one identity and the other (as I'm now trying to keep popslash off the old journal, as I've people on my flist who don't want to read it).

Maybe I should have done this the other way.

Anyway, I'm here now. And fuck it - to avoid confusion with the names, I'm just gonna stick with Lucy, and ask that if people know my last name, please don't fling it around the internet with too much abandon. (I know you guys won't, anyway.)

There was not very much fannish content in that post. I promise more fannish content on a subsequent occasion. Also, more icons, and a better profile. There will be Work on this journal. Hurrah.
