Notes:

Sorry, early today!

Also: I'm not going to officially warn for tongue-in-cheek "triggers" just to provide anyone with a fandom-specific in-joke when there are none in the secret.

Fandom changes. We may not want it to change, but it does. People thought it was the end of fandom and bitched incessantly when we made the move from mostly offline to mostly online. People bitched when fandom started to drift over to LJ/IJ/JF and other journaling platforms from list serves, message boards, and mailing lists. People are bitching now because LJ is dying as a result of a lot of stupid-ass decisions that they've made that lead people to get sick of it and move on. None of the previous changes lead to the death of fandom, and this won't either. There are still groups and message boards where you can have fandom discussions. They're just not as easy to find as they were on LJ. And honestly, if enough people want places for in-depth discussion, they'll either eventually end up shifting over to DW or something new will crop up.

And I hate to break it to you, but the tags may have originally been meant for sorting/organizational purposes, but this is the Internet, and something's original intended use is not always going to be what people use it for. LJ itself wasn't originally intended for half the shit it's used for, like fic, but people saw a way to use it that benefited them and took advantage of it. Dislike it all you want, but that's the way the Internet works.

Except fandom's basic structure stuck around through almost all of these, and they still centered around people talking to one another, not talking at an echo chamber or blasting pretty pictures at each other mindlessly.
