Livejournal, Dreamwidth, and me and you and everyone we know.

[tzikeh]

I know many flisters are burned out with posts about DW--sorry.

I am tzikeh at Dreamwidth. I'm still figuring it all out, but I will most likely continue to make my posts at dreamwidth and x-post them to lj. The reason I've chosen the option to collect comments only at dw is that it's easier for me and for commenters to have them all in one place, especially when good discussions break out. Having two discrete threads means that some people will miss other people's comments or questions, I'll be back and forth, etc. I'm know that some of you don't like having to use OpenID to comment (or just won't at all). I understand your point of view, and I'm bummed, but I think, ultimately, this is going to work best for me in the long run.

Everything I post will be cross-posted to lj. And I still read my lj flist multiple times a day every day. (Er, if "constantly refreshing" counts as multiple times a day. *g*) If you are not moving to dw, and are on my flist, I am still reading your lj, and commenting.

One thing that concerns me is the people who are reading me on their dw circle and have defriended me at lj because they'll be seeing duplicate posts. If you've defriended me at lj, I can't read any locked posts you make when I read my flist. I know this is all still shaking out, and will be for a while, but I wanted to put that out there.

Now, for my two quick dw points of order:

1) If you are on dw, please comment with your dw name, even if you think I know it. Some of you are using different names on dw than you use on lj, and I haven't sorted out who's who yet. If you don't feel comfortable leaving your info in comments, please email me at tzikeh@thechicagoloop.net

2) I have five dw invites! (Yeah, yeah, so do you *g*). First five requests to tzikeh@thechicagoloop.net get 'em.

In conclusion: OMG-1701!

Comments

[reginagiraffe]

Rather than defriend people, I created a 'default view' filter on LJ that doesn't include people that are doing what you're doing, crossposting and having all the comments on DW.

This seems to be the most logical solution. That way you can still see my locked LJ posts and I don't have to see double posts.

[fox]

darthfox = fox. Hi!

[kass]

I'm kassrachel on lj. Am x-posting everything and will probably consolidate comments at dw soon for the reasons you've mentioned here. :-)

[shayheyred]

Clearly I'm shayheyred here and on LJ in case you need that info!

[thebratqueen]

*waves hello!*

[amireal]

holas!

[laurashapiro]

laurashapiro, as ever. (:

[ratcreature]

In a shocking surprise ratcreature = ratcreature here...

[zulu]

queenzulu = zulu!

[sakana17]

You knew me as Kay, I am keiko_kirin on LJ, and I am sakana17 here. I will remove your username from my LJ friendslist if you grant me access on DW, BUT anything I would post to LJ will be posted on DW, locked or not. (I rarely, rarely, once in a blue moon, once a year, maybe, post locked stuff.)

[tzikeh]

You are accessed! Accessible! Whatever!

[umbo]

*waving hi*

[katrimae]

I'm me!

[st_crispins]

If you're going to post here, could you give me access? My circle says I don't have it (although I'm posting this comment ---what gives?)

Also, you should subscribe to me in return.

[tzikeh]

No clue wtf, but I just accessed and subscribed, wev. I still haven't figured all of this out.

[lanchid]

Still "lanchid"

[bailunrui]

baliunrui = bailunrui

[bone]

I'm bone on DW! :)

[taselby]

*waves* I'm taselby on DW. (Still me.)

[danceswithwords]

danceswithwords = danceswithwords

I haven't figured out what I'm doing about duplicate posts yet, but removing people from my default view on LJ seems like the most workable solution.

[rivkat]

I'm still rivkat, and other than that I have nothing figured out.

[meri_oddities]

Meri_oddities here and there.

[emyrys]

I am so glad you did this. I am still figuring out who's who & what's what, as I am only getting access to a computer at home for short bursts of time. Enough to read & comment, but that's about it.

*waves* I'm me (emyrys) here & at LJ & on Twitter (and am totally stalking you all over the place :-) ).

[lanning]

Still Lanning.

[pun]

Hola.

I still haven't figured out how I want to manage this whole thing. I'm just sticking with LJ until I have more time/energy to devote to setting up this journal properly.

[pocketmouse]

Still the same name!

[terrio]

I'm pretty sure you know this, but I'm terrio on both LJ and DW.

[harpers_child]

i'm redangel618 on lj.

[starwatcher]

.
I was starwatcher307 at LJ; now I'm starwatcher. I can't remember why I started watching you, but it's habit now, and you have some interesting things to say, so I'll stay subscribed, if you don't mind.
.

[tzikeh]

Goodness, of course I don't mind!

[musesfool]

I'm still musesfool on DW.

[twistedchick]

Twistedchick, still by the same name here.

[j00j]

I am over here on DW-- same user name, different bat channel, or whatever.

[lys]

I decided to drop falzalot and become lys. At the moment I'm pretty much crossposting everything, but I potentially foresee a time when I will put SCA-related things on LJ and keep the fannish stuff on DW.

[ellie]

I'm elgraves on LJ.

[xenacryst]

xenacryst xenacryst is xenacryst.

[d_generate_girl]

bluerosefairy = d_generate_girl.

Hai thar.

*is hoping her HTML is less borked this time*

[lifeinwords]

*waves* I'm the same on LJ, and just have yet to make a post announcing my move. Stupid grad school, denying me fannish participation!

[hubbit]

I am hubbit on both lj and dw. Shocking revelation, I know. :)

I still haven't figured this all out myself. I post on dw and xpost to lj but leave comments open on both because my flists don't always intersect. I have yet to make a flocked post to dw because I'm unsure how that transfers to lj. I presume it transfers correctly, but still. An experimental one is on my to-do list.

One good reason to keep an flist from both is voice posts, which dw still does not do to my knowledge. If I can ever get my house quiet enough to do another voice post, I shall have to do it on lj and then post a link to it on dw for...I think the one person with whom I'm friends on dw that I'm not on lj :P

[serrico]

I am me! And here! And stuff!

:)

[owlbeer]

And the same on LJ. :)

[theodosia]

I suppose I could have tried to change the name to ThedaBara or a variant, but it feels like I got established under that name on LJ, so it may as well continue!

[cin1607]

*waves* Same as on LJ. :)

[elke_tanzer]

Late to the party, but figured I'd follow instructions anyway... :-) I'm elke_tanzer here on DW, in addition to over on LJ, IJ, JF, Blurty and GJ.
