Oh, I've never heard of the March Hares thing! And white/rabbit was used any month for us... Of course you could also pinch and a punch for the first of the month, which I remember we mostly did in Australia when I was wee... *g*

I suppose lj just didn't predict which part of the changes would frighten people the most! I can see, from their end, that it's difficult - fandom aren't the only userbase of lj, and perhaps the majority of their users (now in Cyrillic) use lj differently to the way we use it. It doesn't necessarily mean they want to lose us, but it probably means that we're not their first thought when they're designing things. There were some good comments to today's post reminding people why the changes were being made, too - because lj is effectively broken, in many ways, and needs a good spring clean overhaul... I do understand that it has to keep up with the technological changes - I just hope they won't change the format we love too much as they go along... *crossing fingers*...We might end up back in letterzines after all.. *g*

Good point about the Pros-y holiday in November making it easier to NaNoWriMo a Pros story - I think that was partly in my mind, too... though I'm not sure it's going to be all that easy to write so regularly that week, even if it is supposed to be a writing holiday... hold thumbs for me there, too! *g*
