Dreamwidth

[lettered]

I was hoping to spend my weekend researching this more, but today's the last day of my weekend and I know I won't get to it. So here are my dumb questions.

1) Those of you who do have Dreamwidth accounts already--it's because you were randomly selected in a drawing, right?
2) Do [those of you who have accounts] have invite codes?
3) What do I have to do to get an invite code from one of you?
4) Do any of you have the $200 "seed account"s?
5) Is a seed account the only way you can get an account that you never have to renew?
6) Can you get a seed account yet? Where? How?
7) What do you guys think about the seed account thing? Is it worth it?
8) If I get a paid account once the beta is over, will I get invite codes I can distribute to people?
9) On Dreamwidth, you can subscribe to people on lj and have their entries pop up on your viewing list, right? Do you have to create a subscription? For people to subscribe to my DW account, do they have to create a subscription? (The way I had to create a subscription for my ij on lj, so lj people could read my ij?)
10) If I got a different name on Dreamwidth, would you all hate me?

11) What do you guys think?

I'm still going to try to look into some of this stuff. Mostly I'm wondering what you guys think about your Dreamwidth account, and how to go about getting one myself.

ETA: if you're already over there, what's your username?

Thanks for the words of wisdom on the seed account. I was thinking about getting it because I really really dislike having to renew payments. Even with LJ, which I hate, I can see having this account for a very long time, more than 8 years. So if DW is better than LJ, it would be worth it to pay $200, even though that's uh, more than I usually spend on food in two months :o) But I really do want to try it out first, I just wasn't sure I'd get a chance. I bet seed accounts are going to be available for longer than this sense of immediacy warrants, however.

Thanks for all the answers!
