Views from the Reading Room

Here are some more of the questions from the meme referenced in my previous post. The missing ones either don't apply to me, strike me as inappropriate, or I can't think of anything to say about them.

8. What community do you wish was more active?

The one I created, anti_recs. It's always a squee moment when somebody posts to it, but it's not the sort of thing you can run challenges on. Yeah, I know, I should promo it sometimes.

I'm subscribed to lots of communities which don't show up on my reading page and I forget about them. It would be nice if some of them were more active but I couldn't pick out one in particular. I'm usually so far behind on reading (let alone commenting, let alone posting) that I don't notice something's missing until it shows up again or somebody points it out.

9. Are there two people on your reading list that you think should meet?

I don't know, I think most of them know each other already! I expand my circle mostly by spotting people in other people's comments.

10. Tell me about your default icon.

It's a cartoon of me that I made in a dollmaker, so I'd have something representing myself that isn't a photo, because several of the people on my reading list have them and they're neat.

11. What features do you think Dreamwidth should have that it doesn't currently?

( This is the long one )

17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?

I don't know any of them off-line (hey! This is real life!) None of my off-line friends who I've invited are interested.

19. Any questions from the audience?

Ask me in comments! If I don't want to answer, I just won't, so there.

21. What's your favorite thing about Dreamwidth?

I don't know that I have one favourite thing. It would be either the "ad-free by design" philosophy, the responsiveness of the management, or the amazing people I've met here.

Here is a bit of personal history:

( Changing my identity )

*The ConDem government, continuing on the same path as the previous bunch of hypocrites, are determined to redefine disability in ever-narrower ways, so as to claim people are capable of work when they're not, and penalise them for not being able to get work in a recession.
