I managed to import my userpics to Dreamwidth - hooray! I could have survived with six icons until the end of April, but I really didn't want to have to try. I haven't had much luck importing my LJ entries, but hopefully that will knot itself out. I'll keep trying, at any rate. Helpful Dreamwidth sites include Dreamwidth Beta Helper to temporarily convert your account to a paid account (until the beta period finishes) and State of the Journal Import.

musesfool, with thanks.)
I got two invite codes and handed one tolilacsigil and one to the first person who asked for one in my last post. If by chance I get more, and you'd like one, let me know. I can't promise that more will be forthcoming, though, so don't rely on me as your only source. Sign up for an OpenID, or troll dw_news . They're slowly increasing the load on the servers, so expect more invites and possibly more invite codes going out to existing accounts.
And I'm settling down with Semagic, it's not actually too hard to use, just a bit peculiar to set up. (Or maybe I'm just being stupidly right-brained about it all. I do walk into walls a lot, too.)
Enough DW news. #amazonfail pretty much dominated my weekend. I'm really upset by the way they've handled the affair. No matter what the actual cause of the supposed glitch that stripped sales rank from LGBTQ books and hid them from searches, covering their collective ass is the worst possible thing that management at Amazon could have done. I own a business, and 'own' is the operative word. You own the business, you stand up and own the fail as well, even on the weekend, even during a holiday weekend. Transparency and swift action are both key to keeping customers. I am sad, because where I live, Amazon is the best place for me to buy books - my rural area is poorly served by bookstores, and online shopping for books in Australia doesn't come close to the range and searchability of Amazon.
Zombie parrot update: They went away, but only so we could say, in eerie voices at five in the morning, "They're baaaaaaaack!" *sighs* Just when I was getting used to sleeping past dawn, too.
Enough depressing news! I have a tardis_gen fic of my very own! Elphame Station, which is Eight and Sally Sparrow traipsing through a Gaimanesque London-Below. Yay!
And Planet of the Dead! ( That's why the aristocracy survived... )
