I totally support Dreamwidth in concept; I have long thought that fandom and LJ were a terrible combination, mostly because LJ was never intended to become the sparkly fandom home that we made it. I'll get a DW account eventually, but as I don't actually PRODUCE fannish works, I'm in no rush. I love LiveJournal, I love MY journal, and the permanent account I bought years ago has long since paid for itself.
I doubt much of my friendslist will migrate there entirely - I feel suffocated if the ratio of fannish posts to nonfannish posts is weighted too heavily on the fandom side, so the people on my friendslist that I read the most tend to use LJ as a personal journal with some fannish content. Woot. And, as I use delicious and whatnot to find my fic, I personally don't NEED a fandom-centric DW account.
Basically, I think DW is a great idea, I am all for the fannish migration off of Livejournal (I'm such a cantankerous bitter old fandom queen, I really miss the days of personal websites), but personally, I have no pressing need for a DW account.
