raptureofthemoon1. Why did you sign up for Dreamwidth?
I signed up not long after Dreamwidth premiered due, in large part, to the Strikethrough kerfluffle over on Livejournal. I'd been keeping journals on other sites as back ups (in the event of deletion), but was never very good about using them due to issues with crossposting. I didn't/don't want to completely give up my Livejournals. My main one is 10 years old this year and I have people on my friend's list who've been there since near the beginning whom I still like to keep up with.
And my fandom one? Fandom is still so much more active on LJ that it's more lucrative to play in that sandbox.
Anyway...Dreamwidth took care of the "fears" of deletion (being fandom friendly) and its cross-posting ability took care of my need to keep my LJ(s).
2. Why did you choose your journal name? What does it mean?
Rapture of the Moon.
I stole it from a flash fiction I wrote 4 or 5 years ago, about a new muse coming into my employ. His name is Keitsuki (loosely translated, that's where my journal name comes from). He's a lot sexual and not just a little vicious; he helps to provide insight and inspiration for some of my darker writing, fanfiction and original.
3. Do you use other blogging sites? Why or why not?
As mentioned, I still use Livejournal to keep up with people I've "known" for years. (I crosspost from this dreamwidth account to my main LJ account.)
And I'm still apart of the fandom communities over there; even though I'm on a bit of hiatus from writing fanfiction at the moment due to work, moving, general life junk.
I also have a Blogger space, which is dedicated to my original/more "professional" oriented writing (everything from literary analysis, to book and movie reviews, to fiction exercises/prompt responses, and whatever day-to-day stuff seems to be appropriate).
4. What do you do online when you're not on DW?
I spend way too much time on Facebook, arguing with anti-choicers on pro-choice forums and discussing general politics... It's a time suck. I'm trying to draw back.
I've been spending more time in my Blogger space, participating in a small section of the writing community there.
I also read various news sources, browse the feminist blogosphere and do other random things (check out upcoming games, find amusing videos on youtube, etc.)
And I read fanfiction, of course. I hadn't been reading much lately, but I've recently gotten sucked back into the Batman Begins/Dark Knight fandom. (I don't write fic for this fandom, but I love to read it. Especially good Joker fic... TDK turned me into a Joker fangirl.)
