(FST) We Are

As I'm sure everyone's heard, Fandom was just handed a glorious victory in the matter of the New LJ Policies, and another astounding win in the Advisory Board Election. Of course, wank is ensuing (doesn't it ever stop?), but as I'm personally tickled pink, purple and blue over this, it kicked me into high gear.
I started this project last year, during Strikethrough. At the time, I was using a lot of mood music to keep me going, things that reminded me of why I love fandom and LJ so much and why it was so important to keep pushing 6Apart until the accounts were restored. With each progressive explosion, my playlist got longer and longer. With yesterday's announcements, I finally sat down and finished cherry-picking it. And right now I'm mooching Burger King's highspeed to put it up while the joy is still fresh.
This project doesn't have two booklets and a jacket. It's not really as "finished" as XIII Ways was. There's no theme or flow. But LJ is finally, finally showing signs of understanding where we're coming from, as members and creators. They were clear and concise in their post, with no hidden catches, and with a policy that I really think we can all agree on for the most part. I suppose I shouldn't call this a Fandom victory. It's an LJ victory.
So with that in mind... ( Let's party! )
