Abstract
Online journals increasingly provide an accessible way to narrate a desired self. This essay examines user posts on LiveJournal, one of the largest free online journal sites in the world. Drawing on scholarly considerations of the diary, narrative performance and technology, and verbal art as performance, this essay examines online journals as performances of verbal artistry and communicative competence that create and sustain “community” through audience response. Ultimately, online narrative performances mirror and resist traditional narrative form, problematize considerations of presence, and extend thinking about audience and community online.
