Charmian sent me (well, she linked your entry.) Hi.
I understand where you're coming from, due to your specific fandom position; but in my case, I find LJ more political. You see, I'm an ex-Harry Potter fandomer. Everything that you found with your blog experience, I found with my LJ experience. Potter people don't use blogs.
I'm sticking with my blog permanently. I like the fact it's on a domain that I have some area of control over. There's no abuse department for someone to whine to when they don't like my opinion. I can change servers whenever I like; if my host goes out of business, it's easier to move than if LJ takes a dive. My Movable Type-powered blog is easier to back up than an LJ.
