LJ Advisory Board Elections

Unless you've been living under a rock you've probably noticed lj and fandom haven't been getting along too well recently. Lots of people on my flist have posted about various issues, from Strikethrough onwards. I've also noticed my flist shrinking a bit as various people leave for greatjournal or insanejournal.

This is all relevant because at the moment the elections for the LJ advisory board are going on (voting closes on the 29th). I don't know how much power or influence it's going to have, and I know a lot of people are dismissing it already, but I'm a firm believer that you can't not vote and then whine later. So it is very worth going and checking out the list of candidates which should have arrived in your lj inbox.

If you can't be arsed going through them all, I'm voting for legomymalfoy as my first choice, vichan second, and rm third.

vichan was the one who created fandom_counts about a year ago. legomymalfoy has been an active member of fandom for years and was quite generally convincing that she'd be a good candidate, and rm, who is also an active member of fandom (including Torchwood and Doctor Who! Yay!).

I did have a whole paragraph here about other candidates, but it's all said much better here. Also, fandom_votes is trying to form a fandom voting bloc, to avoid splitting the fandom vote, if you're interested in that.

Go here to vote.
