The book of my enemy has been remaindered

Poem here. The LJ version, I take it, would be "the journal of my enemy has been defriended." I'd like to see that poem.

I'd go with "the journal of my enemy has been fandom_wanked" though it doesn't scan as well. But it offers a nice parallel to the third stanza of the original.

That is a fabulous poem -- have you tried reading it aloud yet? I read it to te, since she was just waking up and not at her own computer yet. It's even better aloud, and damned fun to put through the filter of one's own voice.

I'm tempted to say the LJ equivalent should be "The livejournal account of my enemy has been suspended," given recent events, even though it doesn't match the sense of the original as well.

I haven't read it aloud, but it definitely looks as if it would flow well.

"Suspended" scans fine, but the sense differs too much for me -- it's not really the kind of thing I wish for my enemies. (Um, hypothetically, of course.)
