Dreamwidth

Okay, and one more.

Thanks to a generous invite code gifty from [livejournal.com profile] wintercreek, I am shoelacedreamer over at dreamwidth. I won't be moving there full-time and once I get my life back I'll have to play around with it a bit more, but you can find me there, if you're looking.

LOL Am I missing something about Dreamwidth? I don't get it.

The way I've come to understand it, Dreamwidth is a journaling site based on Livejournal but run by folks involved in "fandom." I find this refreshing because the folks who run livejournal have seriously pressed their luck with me one too many times. I'm still on the fence as to whether or not to renew my paid subscription by Tuesday. I won't be moving to Dreamwidth unless livejournal goes completely insane and craps out or something. *shrug*

Well this is certainly incentive for LJ to play the game a bit better.

Indeed. And I have been schooled as to dreamwidth purposes, etc: it's not by the fans for the fans. Can't say exactly what it is, beyond ad-free and significantly more expensive than LJ. Which is fine, but which also means I won't be getting a paid account over there.

LOL I can see Chelle has one too now. I don't think I'll bother just yet, I know if anything happened with LJ where everyone else would be. ;-p
