I snagged Starrylizard over at Dreamwidth, so feel free to friend me. I can tell you now I won't be moving over there, but I think I'll start a backup of all my fandom stuff (icons, fic, etc.) from now on... assuming I can figure out the place.

Looks like there isn't a lot someone without a paid account can do. Not even a squares layout... that or I'm just a blind person as usual. We'll see.

Thanks kaaatie! \o/ You rock, hon. I love getting in in time to get my username. :)

Adding you ;)

Btw, can you tell me how exactly will you back up all your stuff? Because I'm thinking about it too, and I'm not sure how better (and faster) to do it...

Um, I haven't a clue atm. I know you can somehow create a copy of your LJ...but I was just planning on posting fic and vids I make there from now on. I'm not that bright. :P

I'll let you know if I find out though.

And I'll friend you back in the morning. My internet is on the fritz and won't load the site. O_o

yeah, I know that you can, like, make a backup version of your LJ, though don't have a clue how :D

I was thinking about posting there fandom things from now on too lol

Info for both of you:

On your profile over there, hover your mouse over organise. Import content is one of the options listed there. And you can pretty much import *everything*.

What is Dreamwidth? ;/

I've been hearing about it lots lately...

Here's what another person told me when I asked the same thing last week. :P

Dreamwidth is a LiveJournal code fork (not a clone--substantial parts have been changed). foxfirefey mentions a list of features (http://foxfirefey.livejournal.com/259172.html?format=light), some that exist now, some expected to be ready by Open Beta at the end of April, some that are scheduled for "sometime in the future when we get them coded."

Some of the cool parts:
Splitting the friendslist into a "watch list" and an "access list," so you're not automatically allowing who you watch to see your locked posts.

25 character user names.

Importing your current LJ or IJ journal, complete with comments that come through as OpenID comments (so the original author can still delete them.)

Invite codes, and cheap paid accounts for people who don't have them ($3 for 1 month of paid, after which an account would revert to free.)

Better OpenID support: OpenID accounts get 6 userpics & can have a subscribe list.

No ads. No snap.com previews. No nudge.

Me, I'm just afraid I'll lose contact with some people since they seem to be moving there for good. So, if I can figure it out, I'll keep a journal copy or something. Plus I hate anyone else getting my username, so I snap it up everywhere. :P
