Not sure where to post this, so here seems right. If not, Mods, could you move it to the right place, please?

So, I'm fairly new to livejournal, and only used it in the last couple of months to post my sims stuff. I searched for communities on there, about simming, challenges, etc. I can't find any, so I thought I might start one.

Is anyone interested in being apart of it if I did?

If I do start one, is anyone interested in running it with me?

I have been on there for like 10 years or so now, all the simming communities seem to have left LJ or gone somewhere else because I can't find them anymore either. I do have a community group where we were supposed to post our Sims 2 Round Robin stories so everyone could find them but it seems to have been forgotten or not updated in years. I just use LJ to post my challenges when I do get around to writing them but I haven't updated in months either. Guess my muse is gone on an extended vacation or something.

I would love to join a community on LJ. I really only use my LJ for my Baby Boomers challenge, but it would be nice to have a community of people to share my chapters with (other than posting here).

Yeah, I had trouble finding them. Most of them were just for Sims 2. In the one I intend to make, it will be for 2, 3 and 4. If you do go back to challenges and stuff again, I hope you check it out!

That's great! I just added you as a friend. I'm owlofnevermore. When I start it, hopefully that should give out an alert or something.

Most have moved to Dreamwidth & Tumblr. There was some sort of scandal with Livejournal that made everyone jump ship, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was

http://bexxgrant.livejournal.com/ - Mine but I am thinking for creating a new one called Simapopulas rather than my name

I missed this way back when, but I have a LJ too where I post all my Breeze Points updates. I don't know what scandals or anything caused everyone to leave, I mostly just use it for that one blog, but I like a lot of stuff about it and find it easier sometimes to post things there. My blog in the 'Breeze Point' link in my siggy and I'm ciyrose there too.

I've got one. I don't use it, but I've got one.

I'd likely only use to make fake cuts to my actual stories when I post updates.

I'd join in.

Yeah, it was that all of the sudden LJ's TOU was full of Russian law. Which is, for instance, not very LGBT+ friendly to say the least. That's why a lot of simmers abandoned ship. I did too, I didn't feel comfortable anymore, seeing that some of my sims are LGBT+ and I might share something about myself on my blog too. That's why I'm on Dreamwidth these days instead.
