RL, Dreamwidth, Kings, and Spring Clean-Up

Last weekend we had a major concert (two, actually) and it was lovely if completely exhausting. So far this week I've spent one day watching baby niece #2 (and subsequently engaging in the Epic Battle Of "YES YOU DAMN WELL DO NEED YOUR DIAPER CHANGED, SCREAMING CHILD") who is now 13 months old, gone to a staff meeting for my church job, and had a very brief informal meeting with my boss for my other job. Not so productive, but such is the life of an artist, right?

Back in fandom land, I'm torn on the whole Dreamwidth thing -- it sounds awesome, but I'm finally using my LJ enough to justify reinvesting in a paid account, and I don't want to do that *and* buy a membership on DW. Which is sad, I know, but -- again -- artist. Very little spare change floating around my chequing account here. So I probably have to make up my mind by the 30th. Mostly I just want more than 6 icons again. I miss icons!

I've been continuing to watch Kings and enjoying it mightily, but haven't found the inspiration to write any fic in the fandom. I wish I could, because Jack/David would be hot like whoa and, to be honest, I haven't landed on any fic in the fandom that really works for me yet. I have great faith that it could exist, however -- I haven't been looking *that* hard.

Spring has finally arrived here. I can see a narrow band of grass on the edge of my lawn, maybe 1" total, but more importantly, I can also see approximately 1,000,000 winter poos that my dog has lovingly left under mounds of snow over the past six months. Yay for spring! *goes to get a shovel and a garbage bag*

Well, you could get a free Dreamwidth account to experiment with. I'm getting a paid one when they open it on the 30th and I think I'll be able to give out codes. If not, you can just pay $5 for a one month paid account, let it lapse and you'll automatically have free Dreamwidth.

(Actually it's only $3 (http://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=4).) There's a code-sharing comm, codesharing.dreamwidth.org (http://dw-codesharing.dreamwidth.org/), if you wanted to go that route. Wouldn't get you more than 6 icons, but it'd be a foot in the door.

Oh, thanks! I'm obviously out of the loop with some of this.

[livejournal.com profile] zvi_likes_tv has a summary at Dreamwidth called "How do *you* get a Dreamwidth account" (http://zvi.dreamwidth.org/504277.html?format=light), and [livejournal.com profile] synecdochic has a list of clarificatory FAQs here (http://synecdochic.livejournal.com/323228.html), both of which I found pretty helpful in disentangling things. Boils down to:
*free accounts should be reasonably easy to come by, especially once they get further into open beta and
*there's no need to decide anything by April 30 (at least not from Dreamwidth's point of view).

Good to know! I definitely want to support the community but I am a little strapped with mortgage payments (damn home ownership) so maybe I can go month by month for as long as I can manage it.
