So, I have come to the realisation that perhaps I want to keep my lj and dw accounts separate, at least when it comes to content. However, I’m still very unsure about the type of content I want to keep on dw so I think I shall take an organic approach, that is, see where it goes naturally.

I have been re-reading the Foreigner series by C.J. Cherryh, and it still is one of my all time favourite sci-fi series. LOVES so very much.

Also, it seems getting an invite code for DW is quite a difficult thing.

Testing out the new crossposting capabilities of dw.

A few meta-ish thoughts; I’m not a contributor to fandom, at least not in the ways of fanfiction, fanart or other fan-activities. I do reviews, I meta and I squee, but mostly I consume fan-products; fics, arts, music-mixes and so forth. Even then I don’t do these activities with much discipline as my attention span is like that of a gnat. Sparkly things will distract me, and if a show becomes ‘bad’ or becomes something I no long care about I tend to stop talking about it all together. This is a bit of a double-edged sword; on the one hand it means I don’t get caught up in wank and have a much saner outlook on fandom (LAUGH people, laugh, we READ porn about FICTIONAL people, how can we take it seriously?), however, it also means I don’t have the social capital (thank you charmian) to influence others into my way of thinking (I like to be right, being wrong ruffles my feathers, I’m trying to change that) or to even discuss my pet-theories because no one knows me. Thank gods I have RL people to blather to.

Anyways, my next fannish/meta-ish thought, the one I have had since Dear Awesome Bela was killed, and Castiel became the new bicycle for the SPN slash fandom. To put into context (post via fools_game... I wonder how the user name tag will crosspost), when Misha Collins was asked why he thinks certain guest-stars are more popular than others.

"It's because I'm not female."

And with that I’m going to go and have some lunch.

ETA: Some minor issues with this. I'll need to work on the cross-posting aspect of it.

This entry have made my dw account really pretty! There appear to be a few bugs in regards to the left hand menu but I can deal as it is so much more pretty than the basic dw style.

I appear to be encountering some problems in regards to importing my lj entries. I get the message in my inbox telling me that importing of entries has been successful but none of my lj entries shows up. I am fairly confused.

Mostly I'm awaiting for the cross-posting capability to appear on dw, and then we shall see how things proceed. I may decide to keep my dw account and my lj account separate but I'm still undecided. So far the dw account has been quite fun.
