A question to all my friends: do you think this is a good idea?

[fpb]

I am thinking of starting two other blogs or communities, one about comics, and the other about my own research. I have a feeling that my LJ ends up being rather like a fruit salad, and what is more, those are the two subjects in which I have an almost-professional interest. Please comment.

Fruit salad is good! Fruit salad is fun!

That being said, you could cross-post from your dedicated new blogs.....

If you do start a blog for comics, I will definitely get my sister to view it. She'll probably squee to death. <.<

Sir, also, you research Indo-European History, yes? I'd love to read articles on that. =) Indian History is something I have a fairly decent knowledge about, and your observations on that would be a lovely insight.

I rather like the 'fruit salad' theme you've got going here.

If you do decide to open the other, more specific blogs, then do please cross-post.

I agree with the previous posters about liking the whole fruit salad concept. That's why I like LiveJournal, you follow (or *friend* or whatever) people, not themes or particular styles. If I had to follow a blog of yours where you just talked about your research, or comics, I'd probably lose interest, and if it were just about political articles and religion and stuff, well, I'd probably run away screaming :-)) But the mixture of it all, plus some fandom, some music, and other assorted stuff, makes you as a person, and you I like and respect, and that's why I read what you post, and get to think about it and challenge my own opinions (even if I seldom actually change them), and occasionally learn things.

So, I think I got sidetracked. Um, yes, fruit salad is a good thing.

I agree with the others, fruit salad is good!
