Hello world :)

[alex_beecroft]

Hello! I'm newly here today after getting an unexpected but very welcome invitation this morning :) How very cool! I think that's the first lottery I've ever won :)

I write fanfiction and professional m/m romance fiction, and also make icons and book covers. And I love DW already for having a 'don't want to say' *and* an 'other' box on gender. How nice it is not to be forced to choose :)

Hello! It's good to meet you :) And I'm very glad you subscribed - I've reciprocated. I'm not sure how much I'll be on DW though, given that I do most of my blog and LJ updating using Windows Live Writer, and I can't get it to work with DW. I'm trying to figure a way around that, though, as I do like it here :)

i'll check whether anyone on the development team uses windows live writer, and see whether we can't pummel it into submission.

Oh thankyou! That would be brilliant :) At the moment it's pretty much a deciding factor in my reluctance to use DW more fully. Though a crosspost to DW from LJ would also work just as well ;)

ah, here we go: apparently it is possible to post with it, just not to custom access groups.

try this: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Compatible_clients#Windows -- let me know if it works for you?

That's absolutely brilliant! Thank you! I posted a little snippet of SW fic using it, and it's come through. So I'm now all sorted to post over here in earnest. Thank you so much!

Now I just need to think of something to write about!

Thank you again! :)
