I'm capriuni over there, just as I'm
capriuni here. I've imported all my lj entries, tags, and special friends groups, filters, and all.
I've titled the journal the same ("Notes, Notings, and Common Refrains"), and have the same default icon (Jester in red, yellow and green motley, reclining on a treble musical staff), because these things are part of my "online face," and my real face doesn't change when I go different places in the three-dimensional world; I don't see why it should be different in the cyber world.
I made the decision in favor of DreamWidth over other LJ-alternative sites for three main reasons:
So -- if you're on my friends list, and have a dreamwidth account, let me know your user name there, so I can add you to my circles.
Oh, and BTW: here are my filters (let me know which ones you'd like to be on; though, natch, whether I put you on that filter will be up to me):
Pagans
Doctor Who Chat
Women
Men
GeekErotica (where I talk about my kinky thoughts, especially in SF and Fantasy scenerios)
Novel 2009 (where I puzzle out [and possibly ask for feedback] the novel I promised myself I'd write, this year)
Frontiers of Justice (where I discuss / review this book I bought, with one of its main focuses being the social contracts and the rights of the disabled) -- I haven't posted to this filter as much as I thought I would, but it's there)

I made the decision in favor of DreamWidth over other LJ-alternative sites for three main reasons:
- It just feels more stable than DeadJournal, InsaneJournal, or Inksome ever did -- like it may actually (or perhaps, already has) reached the Hundredth Monkey state.
- The people there seem to be making a real effort to make it barrier-free to everybody as a matter of course, instead of as an awkward, and embarrassing afterthought. This should be supported.
- The TOS allows users to keep control of the copyright of everything they post; so I'm more comfortable posting my own fiction and poetry over there, especially stuff I'll know I want to publish in other ways and places.
- And a bonus reason: so far, no swarms of Russian-friending bots
