Dear Diary, Dreamwidth, Flu, best bean bag ever

I have a snug little nest in J's giant, denim beanbag and his cat Mini-May is purring on my feet. I also have the flu, a vast amount of grapes, no obligations and have caught up on enough sleep to be functional. The internets and I have almost finished reconciling after our long separation and I have Supernatural Con tomorrow!

• Does anyone have a Dreamwidth invite they could throw my way? *does anime eyes*

*does a dance of glee*

I'm black_samvara on LJ, I've taken the opportunity to shorten the name and I am going to be radiating smug excitement about the Dreamwidth account for a while I imagine.

Thank you JP!

Dreamwidth

I'm samvara on Dreamwidth (tnks JP) and will be continuing to post here until it is possible make an an orderly transition (the exits are to the rear of the plane and above the wings) so there will be plenty of warning.

I've had people ask 'Why Dreamwidth?' and I answer:

1. Run by people who understand fandom and have compatible goals (see strikethrough 2007)
2. Feasibility; I'm confident the people running this know their stuff.
3. Code fork (see fabulous new 'subscribe/give access) features
4. Community, specifically a community that supports women in technology. I'm delighted to work with skilled, competent men but they have a hell of a lot more support mechanisms in place compared to women, and I want to help create possibilities for women.

I will be supporting DW financially when the payments system is set up, right now I'll be playing and learning how to use the new features + import system.
