I do. I primarily use it for Fan Fic. I have a myspace.com site for keeping up with my friends. What does everyone else use their livejournal for?

I've had my livejournal for over two years now. I use mine as a personal journal so I can rant and rave, but I also keep track of communities that may be of interest to me, so I always have a place to go for advice or if I want to chat with other people. I prefer livejournal over all the other journaling sites, I think they have better developments than a lot of the others have at this time.

I've used livejournal for the past five years or so as my primary journal...mostly just a collection of thoughts and experiences. I've loved it from day one!

I have an LJ! I've had it for... yeesh, years now! I use it for fandom activities - fan fiction, recs, reviews, posting pictures of the dolls I make, things like that. And it's a good way to keep in touch with people. I've made some wonderful friends on Livejournal! I also run a few communities.

I've been slowly delving into it lately. Just with the fanfic stuff though. I've read some cool stuff and met some cool people thru their groups! Thanks for commenting!

Yeah, I do a bunch of those. I did 100 Women, and I'm currently doing 30 kisses, 30 romances, femslash 50 and OTP 100. I used to write a bunch of Harry Potter fic but I've been out of the fandom for a while now.

I've had a livejournal for nearly a couple of years I think, but I never used it until recently. I mainly use it for my fanfic. I use myspace for friends and pictures. Thanks for responding!

Better than other "blog" sites I've seen. It's much more interactive. You don't just post your thoughts on the web (which aren't necessarily publically viewable - only select people can see them if you so choose) you have others adding your journal to their list to read, and commenting, and communities to join -- it's way more interactive. I find other blog sites dry and boring in comparison. http://www.livejournal.com/

I use livejournal mostly to keep up with my friends and communities. I also like to post my photos in my livejournal and just talk about current events and the such.

I have a myspace page and a livejournal site. I have been too busy for either of them recently. I like the groups on livejournal.

I use my livejournal mainly to document certain events, thoughts, rants, etc. I also use it to constantly keep in touch with other of my friends, especially those who live in other countries. Those are the primarmy reasons really, but I've also discovered that it's a great place to discover new music, information or links/news about my favorite shows or movies.

I do. I used to regularly write in it--rants, raves, random thoughts, etc. I set it up with the intent of using it as my connection to friends who I don't see regularly. The thing is, it's now empty coz I one day just opeend my eyes and realized how stupid and immature my entries were, so I erased everything and now, Im just using it to update myself on my friends' lives and also to monitor communities I've joined. Im thinking of going back to writing in it, this time with entries that are more organized and well thought of. :)

i have one :) i use it mainly as a journal, to record my random thoughts and feelings for a particular day, and to chronicle the many dramas in my life. i would like to set another one up though, for all my craft-making and things i'll eventually have for sale. if only i had the time...

I've had a LiveJournal account for over 5 years now (I can't believe it's been that long!!) I started it mainly to keep in touch with people I knew in real life, but I've made some great friends over the years. I've met several people in real life that I met through LiveJournal. I also love it there because I can go back through my own history and read my own past. Sometimes I forget things even that I've journaled about, so it's great to have it there.

Pretty late, but I'm also an LJ user.. I've had it for 2 years, I think, and only last year that I got hooked into it. I use it as an online journal, and as a slumbook where I can paste stuffs that I found funny or heartwarming - anything that I want to share to my friends (who also have accounts there). I get online everyday and update anytime I can - my friends and I can get in touch with each other and get updates on each other using LJ.^^

I use my livejournal as my blog... basically like I used my own personal diary in years past. I post things that are happening with my life, and things I find interesting. Sometimes I just make silly posts with no meaning... (like quizzes). Different things. I also use my livejournal account for the groups. I love love love the groups, and use this feature more than anything else on the site.

I use my LJ for a lot of things like memes,fanfics,personal rantings etc.I think it's one of the better blogging communities around.

Yes, all the time. I use lj for keeping up with friends, for downloading music and other things, for reading fanfic, and for learning things. If there is something I need ideas for or need help with, the odds are good that I will find a community with good advice.

I have one, but don't update it w/ personal posts anymore. I use it to be in communities (like OhNoTheyDidnt) & keep everything on a nice/neat friend's list. None of my friends use it anymore, so I don't bother updating.

I use mine primarily as a reading list for news and for fannish things, but I have a myspace and a facebook for keeping up with friends, too. Although I would estimate I'm on livejournal 500% more often.

I have two accounts; one for rl friends and the other for fandom. :) I don't like the thought of coworkers and such getting into my kinks, heh.

I use Livejournal for fan fics and fan art. It's fun, and there's a huge Harry Potter community over there, so I fit right in!
