DWth account achieved!

[timepiececlock]

In a moment of serendipity and extreme boredom this afternoon I began thinking up names for a DWth account, so I wouldn't be blank-minded when April 30th rolled around. I basically decided to try a new name, though I intend to still associate the name Rashaka with that journal, and to keep posting here. But I've had Rashaka since 2001...it's time to try something new.
Much to my delight, when I got home, I'd gotten an invite from the DWth staff! It's probably because I joined the mailing lists. If I get extra ones, I'll be sure to pass them on. After long deliberation, I went with this name:

starboard!

It's a single word, it's nautical, it has the word 'star' in it, it's easy to remember, and it's not too complicated. I am still torn about some of my other names... 'coolbeans' would have been a truly fantastic fandom name. But, alas and alack, the sailor in me wins.



almond, anana, avocado, binkey, boat, cactus, cantaloupe, chai, crazywind,
do_rei_me, downfathoms, fathomsdeep, fistfingerfive, greenbean,
helmstolee, hole_in_water, isengard, je_suis, jib, juniper, katet,
latitude, laughter, linn, longroad, mainsheet, petrichor, pockets, raft, return, rye,
sixpense, song, sunflower, swarley, temple, ticktock, trundle, womanking


Heh, it's kind of funny that so many of the choices below are related to sailing or food. I didn't try any of these names, so I don't know which are available, but I am guessing many of them are still open.


If we know each other here on livejournal, you have a DWth account, or an openID, I'd love to subscribe to you over on DWth as well! I've already added some of you through my OpenID account, but unfortunately there doesn't look to be a way to combine my OpenID with my actual account yet.

Note: if you add me and your name is different than on LJ, please send me a comment or a message so I know where I know you from. =)

Added you! I'm etcetera @ dreamwidth.

Still on Open ID, but I added you. I figure that means that I've got the list ready when I finally get over there. (Still haven't scored an account. ::sigh::)

Why are so many people migrating to DW? Is there something about to go down with Live Journal?

[irrel.livejournal.com]

I don't get it either!

BTW, rashaka, good name :D

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Thanks. =)

Not a migration!

I'm not leaving. I'm getting summer real estate. I'll start double posting as soon as I figure out how to do that easily. But I doubt anyone's seriously going anywhere when all the fandom communities and most people are happy on LJ.

It took a bit of happenstance for me to even get a LiveJournal account (involving you, in fact; if you don't remember, don't freak; I just have a knack for remembering useless crap. XP), so I somehow doubt I'll be getting a DW account in the near future. That said, I hope your DW experience goes well. :)

I've been reading your fic for years and somehow never realized you were a real person with a real lj. *feels awkward* Do you mind if I friend you?

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Thank you for being a reader! I am sorry I take ages to update. And yes, you can friend me, though I don't friend people back as a general rule at this point.

[the-glow-worm.livejournal.com]

Oh, I don't really expect you to. Thanks!
