Catch her playing on lj instead of doing whatever the hell it is she's supposed to be doing.

Since this is an illicit post anyway and I will soon have to get back to re-reading Gilbert and Gubar, I think I will indulge in a little whining.

I have an extraordinary amount of anxiety over Dreamwidth. I have a really tiny flist but most of it has already gotten a DW account, is seeking an invite code, or seems likely to head over there when the site goes open and live. I don't use reading filters. If I have friended a journal, that means I read it. And I want to keep reading it! Crossposting sounds awesome, unless the comments are split in two different places and then flipping back and forth between two different sets of comments on the same post will be annoying for pretty much everybody involved, I'd think.

People are going to change their names! If you guys are changing your names, you've already posted about that but what if someone whose fic I adore but who I don't have friended changes hir name and I never click on that story by

deaniscool because I don't realize it's

musesfool writing it?

What about communities? Are the people who are getting DW accounts taking their comms with them too? How would that work? If I move, what will I do with

sga_talk? Most comms need to be in one place to operate well. We certainly couldn't split up the convo at

sga_talk and have that be a productive thing. How is traffic and participation in comms going to be affected by a potential split between the two platforms?

And I hate to be the voice of inertia, I truly truly do (although if you could see my ass, that role would likely seem natural for me to you), but I am comfortable here at lj. I know how everything works and what I can't figure out,

hermionesviolin will graciously explain to me. I am not quite a technophobe, but it takes me a while to figure out new interfaces and feel comfortable with them and while all the bells and whistles sound really cool (really truly cool) the thought of having to learn how to do them makes me anxious.

If everyone's going to mass migrate over the course of about a year then while I'm still in a tizzy about moving and figuring things out, I can suck it up, but if this fragments fandom with some staying and some going, I think it's going to make fandom a lot harder for me to navigate and play in.
