I've noticed that a lot of people started off on LJ making an account just to comment on their friends' posts, not intending to ever write anything of their own.
Actually, in my case a writing critique group I belonged to was thinking of using LJ as a quick and dirty way to disseminate our work to one and other. The problem was that I was the only one who knew enough html to take full advantage of the medium back around 2000 or was it 2001. Sometime around then. Since then, I've been using it as a sort of an ongoing speed reading exercise. I'm constantly amazed at how many people read my drivel.
