Twelve years ago today, I joined LJ. As you can probably imagine, the following day's RL events rather overtook most of our lives, and although my listserves were buzzing back then, my flist was relatively quiet for nearly a year.

BUT, I thought the anniversary was worth noting. And as much as the administration of Live Journal continues to disappoint me with its unceasing efforts to conform to other sites, this place will always be special to me because of YOU.

I've had an exciting(!) last 12 years, and although fandom loyalties and the popularity of new social networking spaces occasionally drive us further afield, it's still you lot - my flist, my fandom family - that keeps me faithfully and firmly here.
