  • really, i think the livejournal is for the writer past anyone else. a reader is allowed to read it, but making it for the reader changes that "journal" aspect of things. i don't mind interactivity like this interview meme, because frankly, i think it is fun? but if i address my readers when i write it is in the most bland & generic way. it is a "dear mr. henshaw" more than anything else.
