What is Archive of our Own?

I need to get around to actually using my DW account to do something other than placehold my own name...

The crossposting features in DW are fairly useful. You can post to your DW account and tell it to crosspost elsewhere (LJ, for example). The tags go a bit dodgy at times, but if LJ is your primary outlet, and DW is the 'backup', then it doesn't matter if the tags are off in the secondary journal.

Good to know - thank you!

I need to figure out how to back up my LJ, too. There's gotta be a tool for that...

I use LJ archive because it captures the comments as well, but it keeps it in that format, so your copy may not age well as systems eveolve. There's a "print as pdf" option, but jiminy seven years, and half my posts are inane. The LJ FAQs have a list of options.

There is one. From DW, you can click a button that will copy the lot of your LJ (friend groups and all) over to DW in one fell (but a bit lengthy) swoop. Erm...right. You'll find it under the 'organise' tab at DW. There's a link to click called 'import content'. It'll take you to the import page.

It's the general archive for fic that accepts the wierd stuff - Skyehawke can't take a lot of YA stuff and won't take RPS and most archives are either author or fandom based. Here's my page, since it's here and I don't have to look it up 8-) So all fandoms, any author, and it's designed by people who use it, so it's got a lot of neat features, like tagging by collection (like for Bigbangs or fests.)

Yours is one I was curious about. There's a username that looks like yours, but may not be.

I think I've netted you, then. Not a big deal, since I've got half a dozen folks who have no interest in moving, so I'll be bipping over here periodically for at least a while.
