What do you do when you want feedback...

There might also be an issue in where you're posting. Most readers on LJ are generally there for the fic - original stuff doesn't get nearly as much traffic. If you want specific people to go over your stuff, there are communities on LJ, like find_me_a_beta, that might be of more use.

Anyone care to paraphrase exactly what Livejournal is? I've never heard of it before. Sounds interesting, and a nice escape from Facebook.

If Livejournal is a drag, check out workshopping websites. The one I'm at is full of d-bags right now who got pissed when I told them I hated most Vampire stories. So in retaliation, they stopped reviewing my posted stories. Didn't help it was on a website for an author who writes a lot about vampires. Probably my own fault for not knowing my market there. Still, could it hurt to strike out on originality at all? Seriously... get away from the Bram Stokers and the tweenage Twilight crap. The only thing worse than vampires, is angsty whiny self conscious ones.

Also, is that cybersex offer still on the table?

obviously, but what exactly is it. Hell, you could link me to Facebook too but that wouldn't exactly explain all the intricacies of the service. Try explaining Twitter to a lay person, or Blogging. They just won't get it simply by being directed to a website.

There's WHAT the service can do, then there's what it DOES. There's what it was DESIGNED to do, and then there's what it's actually USED for. I'd rather not make the assumption, and instead ask for a qualified response to someone who uses it.

I too have a question about LiveJournal (LJ).  I have noticed more than a few published authors use LJ.  Does it provide significantly different services than say Facebook or Google's Blogspot?  Is the choice technical (more services provided) or cultural (more authors join LJ because more authors are on LJ, kind of a self fullfilling prophecy)?
