 I've been thinking a lot about changes to the costuming community as things shift from LJ. and I wrote a probably inarticulate and wordy blog post about it.  But mostly in summary I love this community on here and I know it seems to be having a slow death but I really hope that's not the case because I love you all. *BIG SQUISHY HUGS*

That was a great blog post

Yeah, I miss dress diaries something fierce too.

And I learned SO MUCH from the old Costume Snark community on LJ. The things that people were upset about, that I didn't even know were wrong!

thank you! Trying to articulate things ranging from my own imposter syndrome to community thoughts was tricky I'm glad it kinda made sense :-)

Whatever happened to that one? Was it just a slow petering-out, or did I miss some kind of drama about meanness?

A little bit of both killed Costume Snark. People started leaving Live Journal for Facebook, so the costume communities that tended to generate posts that we talked about behind our closed doors were less active. And then I do remember a couple of members started objecting to every post and getting offended about things people were saying. Don't join a snark community if you get offended by people who are going to say not-nice things. We're here to let off steam, and we don't feel the need to be polite.

I do miss it though. I learned so much about what was historically correct for different periods by reading people's comments.
