 Welcome and hello! It's great to see so many people posting here again. Here's a good collection of Intro-to-Dreamwidth type posts, and I'm finding some really fascinating discussion in the comments of the latest dw_news post here, and on this post about the long-term future of fandom.

ETA: Maciej, of Pinboard vs. the Delicious fiasco, is once again asking what fandom wants in a site, complete with Google Doc!  

My fannish homes:
Here on alyndra  has in a lot of ways been my fundamental primary fannish home since it started, even when I was barely here and/or spent time on other platforms. alyndra9 and alyndra9 were always going to be temporary diversions. I don't really delete accounts, so you can still find me on ff.n as alyndra and of course alyndra; I've used them both for posting SPN fanfic recently, since there are still lively SPN communities in both places. alyndra is the one-stop-shop for all my fanfic, though. And by far the most social fannish time I've spent in the past year is on Discord as Alyndra#7957; here's a handy list of places to get started there. I'm also Alyndra on Pillowfort.io, even if I've barely started to use it. 

I'm going to celebrate this little Dreamwidth revival by buying paid time for the first time ever, especially since there's a December sale on; I never did on LJ or here before, and I slid into pfio during one of their open registration waves, too, so -- I've been singing the praises of Dreamwidth to everybody for long enough, it's time to put my money where my mouth is. Also looking forward to getting to see the Network feature and everything else that's going to be new to me!
