I was thinking about it and there are times when I think I'm definitely going against the tide around here (in LJ I mean). Although sometimes I may post about the same things than others, that isn't the general rule.

Examples? Let's see... I don't talk about Doctor Who anymore, I started but I got kind of overflowed by so many posts, so many info... I think I've talked about BSG like once or twice, just once about Prison Break... and the rest of the common shows I don't watch them like Supernatural or Veronica Mars. And, right now I'm starting to talk about Queer as Folk that ended last year!

I know I'm comparing myself with those in my friend list and I know everybody have different tastes and that is the great thing about it... but it's still curious to me...

I do know I post quite a bit about Cedric/Hermione from HP fandom and although it was a minoritary pairing, I think it has a quite number of followers today. I do talk about SMAP or Takuya Kimura and I know that I have in common with some others... but these posts aren't in the main stream either.

I've been posting about Bollywood and I do share this taste with some members of my flist, as well as British actors, for example...

But some other times I'll talk about series or actors I don't think others may be interested or even know who they are... but that is an interesting thing, isn't it? Because an aspect I really like about LJ is that reading other's posts you get to discover new things and this is kind of exciting ;)

Icons? Although I post icons related to new things, I mean not long ago I posted about PotC 2, I don't always succeed to post just what people are looking for or want to use right in that moment (i.e. Marie Antoniette icons... )

All this doesn't mean a thing, actually, because I decide to post about those things that interest me right in that moment and I don't care about comments too much (I would be lying, everybody would be kind of lying if they say they don't care a thing about comments)...

But I am curious to know if at the end LJ users tend more to fit their posts to their audience (flists, what people may want to read about) or do as I usually do, and post whatever is in their minds... or what attract them right in that moment??

I also wonder... is it bad if you bend your tastes to fit your audience (because let's face it, is not easy to forget the entries will be read and everything, and everybody likes to feel liked)... Is LJ the right place for that? Isn't supposed that being a journal you talk about 'what you want' 'what you feel' 'what you want to talk about' with independence of who is reading (thinking than the 'medieval' diaries where just for the user to read and write... yes, you know, those little books where people wrote their stuff ;)

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one coming with this questions or musings... I'm sure they're pretty old and I'm not at all original... but as I tend (I can't say always though) to write whatever I feel like, so... here it goes ;)
