My On-Line Life
Given the recent clarifications posted by LJ, whereby fiction is also subjected to the two-strikes rule, I have decided that the following will be happening during the month of September:
- I will be setting up a fiction page. Many thanks to eponis for offering me web-space, for she is a star, yea verily. URL etc to follow once I have something to put up there. I hope to have the bare bones of a website up and running by the end of September.
- My fic will be migrated there bit by bit, deleting the body of the fic from LJ and posting a link to the website instead. That goes for community entries too. I don't want anything hosted on LJ that could be randomly deleted.
- I will buy myself a paid/permanent IJ account and make it me-friendly. This means figuring out how to make it less of an eye-sore. Any ideas on journal layouts?
- I will be crossposting for the foreseeable future.
*
Future plans:
- Fic to be hosted on website, with links elsewhere. No more fic to be posted to LJ AT ALL. I don't write explicit stuff as a general rule (except for a very few fics), however, I have serious issues with LJ's draconian anti-gay agenda, and don't want the fic to be hosted here or affiliated with LJ in any way.
- Journal to be hosted on scribblit or the fandom_flies-developed equivalent, as and when those are up and running, with re-directing links on my LJ-profile. Back-up and cross-posting on IJ. LJ will become a 'reading only' journal for the portion of my flist that didn't/couldn't migrate.

Further thoughts:
LJ has until August 28 to respond to my complaint to the BBB. Thus far, there hasn't been a peep from them. According to the San Francisco BBB:
"A pattern of unanswered or unresolved complaints becomes a part of the firm's record, and is reported to inquirers who ask about the company."
That includes investors, LJ/6A!
Now who wants to complain about their latest switcheroo regarding fiction?
