jaebility1. Why did you sign up for Dreamwidth?
I'd been using LJ for years - since about 2000 or so - but didn't like the way the site was being run after Brad sold it. I tried out GJ, which promptly folded, then moved over to IJ. But it wasn't a perfect fit; the whole "insane" theme got old fast, spam was/is outrageous, and most importantly, I never had the sense that I was joining a community, the way I had with LJ. When DW opened, I wrote it off as another LJ-clone, but I watched its growth with increasing interest. LJ continued down the path of asshatness and so when I was able, I signed up with DW to give it a go.
2. Why did you choose your journal name?
I've been using forms of "Jae" as my online name since early high school.

10. Tell me about your default icon.
11. What features do you think Dreamwidth should have that it doesn't currently?
12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?
13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?
14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?
15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?
18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?

21. What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth?
