icarusWhy am I on Dreamwidth?
I consider Dreamwidth to be an off-shoot of fandom's move towards independence from corporate profits. This is part of uploading our stories to the Archive Of Our Own. Part of participating in the Organization for Transformative Works. Part of participating in our fandom academic journal.
I didn't move when most of the Harry Potter fandom switched to IJ. That felt like a stopgap measure. But Dreamwidth ... this is ours, run by our own.
I will be maintaining a presence on LJ. I don't want to see fandom fragmented, with part on DW and part on LJ, and part who knows where else. But I will move with fandom as we migrate to Dreamwidth and I do believe that will happen.
