I need more friends on Live Journal. I have some great friends on here now, but so many of my long-time LJ friends don't post anymore, have migrated to Facebook permanently, or just disappeared with no trace. I've gone from having an average of 15 comments per post, to about 3-4. I know I don't post anything interesting these days - but even when I do picture posts, I'm not sure who's reading. I know that some people say that it's not necessary to have replies to your posts on here. But if I didn't want some interaction, then I'd just make my entries private, or just keep a paper journal. I write on here to vent, but also to share, and have conversations. So I want active friends.

I've thought about things like LJ Idol, but I'm afraid to share my writing with strangers. I know there's lots of fandoms, but so many of them seem too young. So, I don't know where to find active LJ'ers who want to get to know me.

Can anyone suggest anything?

I really think you should jump into Idol, Laura. It will do more for you and your writing than you can possibly know. And as luck would have it, you can sign up for Second Chance Idol right now!!! The deadline to sign up is on Thursday. Don't think, just do!!! go for it. You'll meet great people and you will grow as a writer. You can do it. There is nothing to be afraid of. Yes, they're strangers now but they'll be friends sooner than you think!

I might try LJ Idol, but I'm not good with fiction. I missed the deadline, though... I'm also not good with timing these days!

Idol doesn't necessarily have to be fiction though. It can be whatever direction you take the prompt. You'll totally have to play next season since it will unfortunately, be the final one!
