Well, LJ is my fannish history. Much like Buffy shaped my fannish thinking, so LJ shaped how I saw & interacted with fandom. It taught me pretty much everything, and I have friends going back to before my youngest was born.
DW is very nice (and clearly the people in charge are a lot nicer), but it still just feels like a copy. Like... a shiny, eco-friendly designer town. And I've lived in the metropolis ever since I bought my house, and although there's crime and all sorts of problems, it's still home.
Anyway, I am glad DW exists. 'Tis shiny. And I don't mind having a holiday home here. :)
