Livejournal Fantasies

bowdlerized reminded me that I had this lying around. It's just a list of things that LJ would do in my ideal world, regardless of whether they're technologically or logistically possible. I'm not taking the piss, just daydreaming.


In my fantasy world of infinite LJ delights:

- Fpages and lastn pages update automatically without the user refreshing.

- There is a post classification system which your friends-of can use to only see certain kinds of posts on their fpage by default. For example, your mundane friends can choose not to subject themselves to your peculiar fan fiction on a daily basis.

- There is a function to find out how many people actually read a particular entry all the way through, regardless of whether they commented.

- When you see a filtered post, you can find out who else is on the filter.

- You know when someone has filtered you off their fpage entirely.

- It's easy to set non-overlapping reading filters.

- There is an option to merge your friended users, watched comms, and feeds in your userinfo.

- http://www.livejournal.com/users/user/ocomms/ : Shows the entries of all comms of which you are a member, but are not watching.

- http://www.livejournal.com/users/user/afo/ : Shows the entries of Also Friends-Of (people who friend you but you don't friend them). Like friendsfriends, but less frightening.

- There is a plain list of all functions and where to find them. You don't have to ask another user to figure out what friendsfriends is.

- There is a search function that actually works. You can choose to search a particular LJ, or all LJs, or just your flist. Or someone else's flist. Or everything but your flist. Or...

- The month view shows the first lines of posts with no subject.

- Events automatically end with a set of formatting close-tags.

- All the sites I'm interested in have working LJ feeds.



Feel free to add on your own unreasonable LJ functionality wishes.

Eo's journal: Extra-dorky Gay Pride Day edition

Pride Day would be a lot better if it meant we all got a day off work.

But it is improved, this year, by very nearly coinciding with PotC fandom's one-year anniversary. Congrats, you swishswashbuckling fiends. Let no one say that you are a flash in the pan.

EDIT: When's HP fandom's anniversary? What day was the first book released?

---

We've created a monster! pervy_werewolf has just announced the Lupin's Cardigan mini-challenge. But it isn't just limited to the cardigan, oh no -- "the baggy butt trousers, the drab robes, the shoes, etc." are also included.

This madness has culminated in the inevitable: cardigangsters.

As I was saying to aubrem the other day, this is very unlike me -- I'm normally a book-canon stickler. I have no excuse. I shall henceforth hang my head in movie-fanon shame while writing movie-Lupin with evil glee.

---

hprarepairs has also just opened its doors. Open to het and slash, fic and art, all ratings, provided the pairing is uncommon.

---

David Thewlis has a big cock.



Well, he does.
