Oof. Okay, that hiatus was unexpected sry. The psychology of moving is so weird - I've been being isolative because I've been just waiting down the days, but considering that I still have two weeks to go that may not have been the best idea.
I have, however, been consuming huge amounts of media. Last week we watched through all of Fullmetal Alchemist again, and made a move toward picking up Brotherhood - the new series being animated in Japan at the moment. Not sure if we'll watch it regularly, because I attach hard to voice acting and we watch FMA dubbed. (My personal rule for dub/sub has to do with the nature of the culture being portrayed, so Anglophiliac stuff like Howl or FMA is watched dubbed. I mean, Japanese doesn't really have the phonology to pronounce the main characters' names!)

cryogenia. Elrics-centric prison!fic AU. The good stuff.
Regarding DreamWidth - I expect to get a code on the 30th, and I do think that I'll eventually move over there. I'm not really worried about subscribe/access, because I very rarely flock and I don't use filters, and when I do flock it just tends to be for emo stuff or employment info that isn't 100% yet. When I do move, I will be redirecting comments - but since I don't flock, it should take the exact same number of clicks to comment there as it would to comment here. DW says that they'll have it worked out so that I can integrate flists, so I'm not dropping anybody either.
But I am moving, because I believe in DreamWidth. And I guess because I feel like it's time. But also because of whatafterthree says here about monetization. I am sick of being their user-generated content. I don't like it when people try to sell me, instead of selling to me.

The reason why it's making waves is that one of the owners is a fannish woman who writes Stargate genderswap porn, among other things. So the issues fandom as a whole has had with the eljay ownership not getting us/banning users for pervy fanworks shouldn't arise with them. It's intended to house fanworks, among other things.
Check out their FAQ - they do a really great job explaining exactly who they are and what they're doing: http://www.dreamwidth.org/
