It bothers me SO MUCH (uh, evidently *g*) because it's this combination of pandering to ONTD-style users, and completely missing THE ENTIRE POINT of using Livejournal. Once someone starts posting, the WHOLE COMMUNITY has a stake in their writing.

Yes, this! When I'm on lj's site, I'm not there to blog to a group of people -- I mean, now I don't crosspost, but even two years ago I definitely didn't spend most of my time making posts to my own journal. I'm there to comment on other people's posts, and to read their fic, and to post to communities.

I just now discovered Avatar: The Last Airbender, and I'm perusing for fanfic, and since the show starting airing five years ago I've spent the last week or so reading (mostly) fic that's more than two years old. And it's kind of shattering to realize, having just done all that fannish archive-digging, that some huge percentage of what I just read and tagged on delicious and commented on yesterday might be gone in another few weeks.
