bookofdanielvol21. What was the reason you began a Dreamwidth or LiveJournal account (or both)?
I signed up for Dreamwidth because I genuinely miss Livejournal's glory days, and this is the closest I've found to it in modern times (even more than the shambling corpse of LJ itself), although I haven't yet found as strong a community on it as I had on LJ in the early-mid 2000s.
2. How many DW or LJ communities do you subscribe to?
So far, Friday Five is the only one, other than the DW news feeds. There were a number of good ones on LJ back in the day, like "Dead Men Talking," where users played the roles of historical figures, but they're all long dead now.
3. Do you have a favorite community or one you check out often to see what's new?
As mentioned above, so far this is pretty much it.
4. How did you pick your user name?
It's an oblique reference to and continuation/resurrection of my old LJ (which is still there, but has been unused for years). My LJ username was just my real name (probably not my best idea, in restrospect), but I used the phrase "The Book of Daniel" as the header.
5. If you could change your user name, would you?
Nah, s'alright.
