Come to find out, I can no longer edit my older crossposts between LJ and DW. I suppose that if I want to edit a post, I'll have to do it individually in both places.

Not a big deal, but ... unexpected. And none of my crosspost links display correctly, or show the comment count on the other site (though they do work).

But those are minor issues! I like my new name, and it seems to be showing up correctly everywhere it ought to be -- and I don't have any trouble thinking of it as "my" name when I see it (aside from a certain amount of disconcertingness, because I'm used to typing "friendshipper" into the address bar to get to my journal).

All systems go! \o/

So the rename is done, on both LJ and DW - "friendshipper" is now "sholio", which is also my AO3 and ff.net name.

All links to my old journal, or to specific entries on my old journal, will redirect automagically to the new name. The only thing that seems to be "broken" at the moment is the little link at the bottom of my LJ entries to the DW version -- it still works if you click on it, but it doesn't show the comment totals. That's a minor thing though.

(Wow, this is actually going to be a little bit weird for me too! I'm not used to seeing "sholio" where my old name used to be.)

ETA: woops, in order to crosspost, had to change my crossposting settings too!
