Quick Notes: GreatestJournal, IJ Asylum Meme

1. A last reminder for the people who were also on GreatestJournal: the site will shut down permanently at January 30th, so you have only a few days left to save posts, icons, et cetera. For tutorials on moving entries or communities, I recommend [info]sherlock's posts on LJ-Migrate and LJ-Sec. To find other GJers on IJ, there's [info]findgjers and [info]gjmeetup. (Hat-tip to [info]vampiress_diva.)

2. The third round of the IJ Asylum Meme has started last week. In short, people update asylums on IJ that have been "dormant" for a while, thus keeping them alive, and as a side effect get to know about various asylums because all contributions are collected in a master list. Detailed explanation and sign-ups are in this post. I'm hoping for breaking last year's record, where we had 21 participants updating 34 asylums.

A general note: over time I've noticed that there are fluctuations in the amount of meta content that's being produced, depending on other events that might have people busy writing, e.g. fic contests/challenges around a certain time of year, or political events. Meaning, fandom-wise at the moment there's not much to link to, while an Obama link roundup would have good chances. (*g*) But I'll keep looking!
