Huh

[heathershaped]

I'm not intentionally spamming or anything but...

The whole Dreamwidth thing; what gives? I hadn't even heard about it until just this week, but apparently this is that new fandom-friendly LJ-esque service about which there has been buzz for over a year now. Are any of you planning to get one? I don't mind grabbing an account if people I know are going over there (because I can never resist trying new shiny things), even if I have no earthly intention of leaving LJ.

The fact that there is already an an inaugural comment!porn meme is a good sign.

This stuff just makes me worry more about fandom dissipating, though. Sigh.

*looks into setting up an OpenID while I read more about what gives*

The more I read, and the more people I see who seem to be at least crossposting back and forth if not leaving altogether, the more I think I'll be trying to either obtain an invite code or buy an account. It seems a lot more well-thought out than the other 'exoduses' (exodi? exodae? whatever. *g*).

It looks like cross-posting would be pretty easy, which is a big plus since I won't be leaving LJ. (I could never figure Semagic out.) And some of the folks who are getting DW accounts are folks I still want to keep up with, so I think I'll give it a try. I love how the girl who's running it seems to be marketing it so far, getting lots of input and involvement from people.

And thanks for the perspective re: fandom dissipating; I hadn't thought of that before. I know personally, I don't mind clicking around to keep track of people if that's what it takes. *clings to fandom*
