*waves shyly*

[olivejz28]

Hello! I suppose I'm like the majority of you and got real estate over here. While I haven't broken up with dumped LJ yet, I did import 8 years and 1660 entries/comments over here to start mirroring my current residence. Three minutes, that's all it took. [Also helped that I did it at 1am my time.] Quick, easy, and with open arms...because I really did need a bear hug through the on-going crisis in the 'hood.

I haven't had a lot of time to poke around yet, but what I've read through so far [i.e. weekly news post] is nice. :) I don't have the dolla dolla bill$ to upgrade my account and move over my 150 icons yet, but I have taken note of them, along with keywords in case I bulldoze my estate on LJ before I can import them. Also, I'm looking into how to customize my layout. I'm not code savvy [that would be my bro], so I used to just tweak pre-made layouts. If anyone can point me in the direction of some useful info, I'd be grateful.

As mentioned, I haven't quite dumped LJ yet [or FB for that matter]. I'm still trying to educate my friends list about LiveTwitFace, and I'm sentimental. *sighs* Oh, LJ. :/ Sadly, so far nobody on my FL has made the move [though I know a few people that made DW accounts due to LJ's other missteps]. So in the mean time, while I try to sell my LJ estate during a depression, I wouldn't mind meeting some of my new neighbors here at DW. :)

*takes a deep breath* It felt good to let that out. Being in a new place is a little intimidating, but this could be a good thing. Right? *digs toe into the ground* Anyway, thanks for listening...

Friending Meme, Part Deux: Electric Boogaloo

[quarantedeux]

Our original friending meme was getting pretty overwhelmed, so I thought now would be as good of a time as any to get a new one started. If you have the time and inclination, feel free to go back through the introductions and comments at the old post. It seems like there was a good amount of meeting and greeting going on, which was very nice to see. Hopefully it will be just as successful the second time around!

The info on this meme is optional, if you don't want people knowing your name/age or anything else, that's cool.

<b>Name:</b>
<b>Age:</b>
<b>Fandoms:</b>
<b>Other Interests:</b>
<b>What people can expect to find in your journal:</b>
<b>Anything else:</b>

The more people who respond to this meme, the better! If you have friends that are thinking of switching over, go ahead and pass this link on to them. If you're friends with long-time DW users who are looking for friends, invite them over! By all means, this isn't an ex-LJ-only party.

Facejounitter Updates and RPG question

[jhumor]

Greetings everyone,

For those no longer following the NEWS and LJ_RELEASE comments, I got a reply from the BBB today saying they have forwarded my information along.

Last night, I wrote a letter to the ACLU, over the privacy issues, haven't heard from them yet, but I know my office is sometimes slow to reply. I don't expect to hear from them until at least Wednesday.

That's why I've been MIA the past few days! It's crazy hard to write "respectful" sounding letters when I am as pissed as I am.



On to RPGs: My muses are ready to start playing here... sooooo any suggestions for either Doctor Who or Pan-fandom Games? Is there anything here like SixWordStories or Dear_Mun or MuseMostWanted. My muses are getting restless!

Hope you all have a great rest of your Friday!

Sorry! I suck for forgetting to post this earlier.

Thank you so much! I was absolutely floored. I'm extremely grateful, and I'm sure many members of this community are grateful as well. 

You guys are the best! *Group Hug!*

"As You Wish" Comment Fic Meme

[noxie]

Have you ever thought "I wish someone would write this fic?" Then ficondemand is the place for you!

For all your fanart needs, there is artondemand , which is the same thing for fanart. Both comms are places to bring together writers/artists looking for ideas with people offering up ideas/plot bunnies for adoption. :)

We've just started a new comment fic meme!

Come and join the fun! You might meet other people interested in the same fandoms as you. Small fandoms are welcome!

New post in news

[foxfirefey]

Discuss.

Main new point:

* No more crossposting comments from locked entries

Japanese and Korean interest communities

[mickeylover303]

I don't know if this is redundant, but I took a cue from old_man_of_hoy, who made a wonderful list of Animanga Communities on Dreamwidth, and made a list of communities on Dreamwidth relating to Japanese and Korean interests over here.

It's on my journal so it'll be easier for me to keep up with and update if need be, but I wanted to share it in the off chance someone finds any use in it.

PayPal conduit offer

[foxfirefey]

Somebody's comment on the last post made me feel like I should make an offer to be a PayPal conduit for people who can't pay Dreamwidth in other ways. I'll do this for at least two weeks from the date of this post.

( More details )

Feel free to spread this link around to anybody who might find it handy.

Amusingly, I'm going to cross-post this into my DW account.

[flemco]

So. LJ finally responded.

( This is going to get a little long, and a little profane. )

[edit] Posted this before I saw the other post in the community. I'll delete this if ya like.
