[livejournal.com profile] socchan has decided to kick-start a new LJ holiday: Lurker Day. Her official take on it can be found here, but here's the short version for those who don't feel like clicking on the link.

Lurkers. The people that hang around and read LJs, but don't actually say anything. There are a wide variety of reasons why people lurk: shyness, not knowing what to say, not wanting to be thought of as a stalker among others. And it's hard to speak up and say "Hi, I'm here!!"

So socchan had the idea that there should be a day for the lurkers to come out of the wallpaper and let the world know they are there and like what they're reading. So I'm doing my little bit to put out the call and encourage lurkers all over to make yourselves heard. I know there are a couple of LJ's that I occasionally stalk read without commenting, and I plan to celebrate the holiday.

The date of National Lurker Day (for this year, at least) is March 2nd. Go comment and be heard!! And kudos to [livejournal.com profile] socchan for the awesome idea!!

*applauds* I think the advent of the internet and such places as LJ make it really easy for fans to communicate. So let's get out there and show our lurv!! *makes list* This might take a while...

Ah, that's actually a good idea. I know there's lots of people I go 'I should friend this person' or just like 'I need more friends into this series' type things ^^;

It is a good idea! I could even expand it to the other sites where I stalk lurk people. I've actually come out of hiding with a few of the people I lurk recently, but I could always be better at it! ...I'm too shy!

Tell socchan I think it's a good idea! XDDD

Well, I could leave her a comment, but then I wouldn't be much of a lurker, now would I? ^^;

Heck, I'm starting to wonder if I have any! You're more likely than myself, but it's an interesting thought. I'll post about it later. Tonight and tomorrow's posts are pretty much taken up by my uber Miroku/Sango fangirling.

*laugh* I shall go check out the fangirling.

So yeah, I'll probably toss a post up on March 2nd proclaiming it Happy Lurker Day and see if anything happens. Not counting on it, but meh, what can you do? ^^;;

Well, you certainly have my blessing ^_^ Lurking isn't limited to LJ, after all. Do you suppose I could trouble you for a link if you do?
