I Has A Dreamwidth!
Apr. 17th, 2009 04:09 pmGuess who hit the Dreamwidth code lottery! I've got my account all set up, and now I'm in the queue for importing my journal entries - there's some old entries in this journal I'm a little embarrassed to keep importing to new journal sites, but empty space just weirds me out, and I like having my life backed up across the internet. So far DW looks very shiny and neat, and I'm really excited.
I don't think I'm ready to go all in and leave livejournal forever - there's too many non-fandom people I'd lose track of, for one - but...I don't know.

If you already have an account, drop in and DW-friend me! If you'd like an invite code, just ask, and I'll try to provide as they give them out -
telyanofcelore does have first dibs though.
