Add me, in whatever configuration you wish, and let me know who/where you are. I am struck suddenly by the overwhelming choices ahead of me: what is this for? do I import this LJ over there? isn't it silly to, say, start mirroring communities and things over there that I run here? what should my default icon be? was my_daroga the right choice? how is this different (for my use of it) from LJ and how is it the same and how do I know? isn't this an opportunity to redefine myself in terms of name, 100x100 picture, and interest list? and isn't that terrifying?
Those of you with accounts, or who plan on getting them: what's your plan, as far as the above (or similar) questions go? and does anyone have any donuts? I'm hungry.
ETA: If I'm any example, it looks like more people are getting invites through OpenID, etc. I don't have any codes yet, but I'll start a list in case people have trouble getting them.

And I might as well start a list, right? In case people don't get codes other ways. You're at the top.

You'd definitely still be able to use your LJ account--it doesn't change anything at all, it would just mean "copying" over the content to the DW blog so it's essentially in two places. And I believe there are several people already "cross-posting" between LJ and DW, meaning that one post gets posted to both sites. I haven't played with that yet, myself, so I can't really say how easy it is, but it's within the DW site itself; you have the option to connect other LJ-based sites and post to both at once.

I'll try it out when I get a real account :)

My name change was just because it was a name that I had originally wanted. It's not that I want to redefine my identity even though I know that some people do.
no subject
I had originally wanted daroga, which was taken on LJ, but now that I'm my_daroga everywhere it seemed frivolous and confusing to change to something so close but not associated with me.

I'm moving over to dw completely if they can get that "fold-in other service's journals to your flist" thing worked out, and tkp shall be a mere mirror.
Meanwhile I've been trying to redefine what my journal is for a while now. But generally I leap at the idea of redefintion, as long as I can be lazy about it, and then I never follow through anyway.
As for comms . . . sadly I have one comm I can't move over here :o( Marmalade_fish, which is my Sarah Rees Brennan comm, will probably get a mirror on Dreamwidth, but I'm afraid to move everyone over there cuz everyone's just gonna be all wtf. But my dream for that one was always to have it based on a website.
K! I want to make a website and I want to buy forum software and it's utterly beyond me, because I suck at tech stuff; I can't even make my lj look pretty (I really really wish I could make a header that wasn't just a pic pastede on yay), but I really really want to do it because I love brennan's stuff and there should be forums and I want to be the FIRST. Actually what I always think about is brightweavings.com, which is GGK's website, but it was started by a fan and he just started hanging out there because he thought it was cool, but anyway I want there to be a site where we can talk about it and create stuff but also where you might get a chance to chat with the author from time to time.
Hey speaking of GGK I feel so weird about you reading him! Because I'm afraid you won't think it's that great and then you'll be like man, Joy's taste is schlock and then you will feel like you wasted your time. Because I don't think our taste in books is actually that similar. In fact I don't know what you like. I think I probably have more of a handle on Mr. Daroga's taste in books than yours; I don't know why.
HEY speaking of headers for journals maybe you know something about that!!! After all isn't your journal all fancy formatted? I always wanted to do something with the picture my icon's from for the header and color scheme of a journal, but I don't know how.
I love how a post all about you I make all about me me me. I'm such a good friend. Obviously I stayed home from work today too. I'll probably watch Christy all day because I'm bad.

Yeah... I have LJ angst anyway, because I actually think this journal is pretty boring and don't know why/if anyone reads it, and it's not because I don't have Things to Say, I think, it's because I am either busy, lazy, or both. So that makes me sad. And makes me post very little, because I think, "perhaps when I am older I will post this better" and then don't ever do it and then I get all depressed or angsty and spill my guts here and feel stupid. Argh.
As to comms it's like... Well, none of the things I'm into are very healthy (I mean vigorous, not morally fulfilling or whatever) so is there a point in a POTO comm over there? I dunno.
We can totally talk about forums and sites and prettifying and stuff. My journal is not that customy. There's really just a background image and a color scheme that is really just one color because I fear change. Not the same sort of change as you, but still. Point is--we can easily do over your journal with that image/color scheme and I'll even drive if you want.
As for GGK and reading in general... I don't know. I mean, I don't know what my taste is, so I don't suppose I can blame you. Also... I feel weird about books and reading in general. Because it is clear that I like to read very much. But I'm not sure what I like to read, or why, or how I feel about it, or why I find it impossible to really talk about books the way I can talk about movies, because I've liked books a lot longer. This upsets me. It is part of that thing from before about me not feeling smart.
But see, here I am getting all antsy when you just told me you're afraid I'm going to think your taste is shlock. When I'm pretty sure part of my problem is that I love DWJ and MZB and Tanith Lee and Susan Kay and PKD and Lolita and YA novels and feel somehow guilty about that. I also feel guilty about the fact that that list does not really accurately reflect me and as usual my memory is such crap I can't even remember "stuff I like to list in casual conversation."
I have so many problems, you don't even know!
Also I note, upon looking at GGK's site, that he is kind of cute. And I'm glad you stayed home. But you should watch something other than Christy, because you already watched that.

Shrug. I kind of feel like, since I've held onto lj for this long, it's my internet home. If dw catches like wildfire and everyone abandons lj, then, yeah, I'd transfer over. Let me know how you like it.
