Wednesday reading
Sep. 18th, 2014 12:15 amIt's been a while since I've done this, so here's about two months' worth of reading, or at least the ones I can remember:
( I gave up on a lot of books in this period, but some stuck... )
Also interesting (and found via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
author_by_night): some people are organising a Harry Potter fandom reunion on LJ, for those who miss fandom as we did it in the old pre-Tumblr days, want to reconnect with the larger fandom, etc. etc: ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_reunion.
And here's a post fromstrannik01 about how LJ themselves seem to be doing some sensible outreach at long last - they've got a brand new ad on YouTube which does some smart stuff by focusing on how customisable privacy levels are, the comment threading and the strength of the site being discussion. Also, they underline the fact you can use any nickname and will never have to disclose your RL info if you don't want to; and the fact they will never filter your feed content (one in the eye for Facebook and, most recently, Twitter). I would love to see this working out for them, I really would, because while all the other social networks have strengths, LJ and Dreamwidth combine the greatest number of aspects I like with the fewest irksome aspects. And it's just the style in which I most enjoy interacting with people and having a -cough- online presence.
