Open Beta is nigh

[heathershaped]

I fail at organisation. Open beta starts tomorrow and I've done bugger all with this journal. So maybe a list will help, for if I can find some time tonight:

1. Upload more userpics - the easy part. I'm not bringing all my LJ ones over, plus I'll have room for twice as many as I have at LJ, considering I'm buying a premium account tomorrow.

2. Some sort of intro post with general stuff about me, as well as an access policy.

2a. Er, adopting an access policy. How are you all sorting that out? I don't filter much of anything, so this isn't something I think I'll be giving too much thought.

3. A layout that doesn't look like everyone else's, including a header image if this is possible, which I will want to make. This will include deciding what fandom said header will be about.

4. Arriving at some sort of decision as to whether I will post fic here, at LJ, or both. Leaning towards keeping them at LJ, merely because I like having feedback in one place if I'm fortunate enough to get it, but I'm not sure.

5. Something else that I've surely forgotten. (eta: mood theme! yes!) I was going to make a post over at LJ offering up invite codes, but I could always do that tomorrow, considering I have no idea how many codes I'm going to get.

You know the importer will bring all your icons in like 4 seconds, yes?

[heathershaped]

Yes, but I don't have four seconds! If only I could do it in three...

;) *goes to do the import thingy*

I'm just adding people who sound as if we have something in common or otherwise interesting. Later on, at some point, I'll go through and weed out most of the ones that didn't reciprocate. I started out giving everyone access as well as subbing to them, and then I thought that maybe that was a bit over-enthusiastic. Not sure what to do about that. So much for a subbing policy ... I might as well not have one at all.

I'm posting here and letting DW automatically cross-post to LJ - most of the comments I get are at LJ. What to do about fic I do not know, but I haven't written much recently so perhaps the problem won't arise.

I do need to get my mood theme over here though.

I usually let people make the first move and then just do whatever they did in return, unless I know the person - I don't mind giving people access because I don't lock very many of my posts. But the whole process is vaguely strange to me; I don't know that it's one of the things I like better than LJ. Both policies have their advantages and drawbacks.

I don't have any sort of an access policy. Mostly I've been acting on the spur of the moment with no rhyme or reason, or letting others make the first move and adding them back. I haven't posted anything locked yet anyway, and I don't intend to lock very much, just stuff that could give away my (secret superhero ;p) RL identity. *paranoia*

I think I'll be posting fic at both - I quite like the idea of having it archived in two different places.

Also I need to bribe someone on my flist into making me a header or something. *plots*

That's what I've been doing. :D Which I think is fine, I don't lock much stuff up unless it traceable to me real-life self.

Haha! If you need a header I could be bribed. XD

[phantomjam]

H'okay, I definitely intended to reply to this comment a looong time ago before uni ate my brain and returned it broken. Just so you know, I'm not in any way above outrageous bribery and lavishing you with praises if you could be prevailed upon to make me a header ♥

Also, I like your new layout :D
