Why do I get the impression that I've wandered into a Bond movie?

So... everyone knows that that 'certain' elements of Russian society are trying to silence LJ - the one free channel of expression available to many in that country?

Needless if there is one thing that *royally* p*sses me off (other than talking in cinemas while the movie is playing and bad customer service) it's censorship.

So - yes, I'll be here until the KGB drag my sorry arse out.

If the worst does come to the worst - I'm also over at Dreamwidth as beckymonster (yes, I lost the underscore - I feel so nekkid without it:( ). There isn't much to see but I am currently backing this journal up over there.

It's taking a while because as of Monday I've been here SIX FRAKKING YEARS! (o_O) and as you can well imagine, I don't want to lose all of that. Okay - not all of it... The emo whining can go - the rest can stay;)

I can also be found on twitter as well - as @becky_monster. I did have another twitter account but that's in my 'real' name and shall not be mentioned here. The Fannish and the Real stay as far apart as humanely possible, better for all that way.

SO - that's me - what about you guys?

I lost my 42 over at DW. Though I only added it at LJ because there was already a nialla, it's become a part of my ID now.

I don't plan to move full force to DW, though right now DW is asking people not to try anyway, because the demand is an added stress on LJ's servers as they fight off botnet attacks.

The only reason I keep a DW account is for emergencies and because some people's default style kills my eyes when trying to read their fic. One reason I shied away from DW was their own visual style was way too bright for me, and there wasn't much ready-made stuff to use. They've spiffed up since then, but by that time, too many "evangelists" soured the idea in general.

The Fannish and the Real stay as far apart as humanely possible, better for all that way.

I use a fannish related expression to convey this idea: "Don't cross the streams." (Ghostbusters)
