My tentative LJ/DW/IJ/JF usage plan
This may totally change! But here are my current plans for how to use journaling services.
I have accounts as ciaan at four sites: LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, JournalFen, and Dreamwidth. I mainly only use IJ and JF for reading and commenting on stuff that is only posted on those sites, and don't really make posts there myself. The sites I post to and use actively are/will be DW and LJ.
I will probably crosspost most content to both LJ and DW, but there may be things that, for various reasons, are only on one site or the other. I don't mind if you want to read me both places or if you want to be LJ-only or DW-only in your own site use (or IJ-only or JF-only). Feel free to add or remove me wherever to make it work best for you. Tell me where I should be reading you, though! Or I might go "huh, she hasn't updated all month..." because I am looking in the wrong place (especially if you changed your name when you went to another site).
(I still reserve the right to not be current or comprehensive on my friendspage reading... There's a lot of stuff I've been missing lately, and that will probably continue to be true. At the moment I am probably more likely to read more people on my DW list and probably to use tight reading filters on LJ (I think reading filters are not usable currently on DW?).)
I think I will probably try to post more things public at DW, so don't worry too much if I don't give you access there. I'm quite possibly going to try out subscribing to people without giving them access at first. It may take me a while to move my whole friendslist from LJ to DW and it may get rearranged some in the process. If I haven't added you at DW (yet) it doesn't necessarily mean I am totally abandoning you. On the other hand, when I meet new people at DW I'll probably add them there without also adding them at LJ.
I don't think I will be importing my LJ posts to DW. I've been on LJ for 7 years now, and the way I use it has changed multiple times, and DW is a new site, I don't need to retcon my presence here. I want a bit less clutter, a bit of a new start, to shake off the dust. Possibly this should also be an impetus for me to update my website so my fic is more accessible, and put some more of it up on other archives (I am totally antsy to get an OTW AO3 account, I really ought to be posting to the good ol' SSA, and I actually signed up for ff.n to put Sky High fic on (gah do I have weird mixed feelings about that)). Or, you know, maybe I should actually start using delicious.
