Poll: Dreamwidth???

[raloria]

Been wondering for a while whether or not I should resurrect my old Dreamwidth journal. I resisted before because there were still active LJ communities here for SPN, but those days seem to be over now. Btw, I'm not planning on leaving LJ, just thinking that I'd like to start using the other journal for more personal entries. We'll see

I have a DW account, under the same name as here, and up until Jan 15, I was able to crosspost without any problem. Usually, I crosspost when I have a new icon set to post, but since Jan 15, I only post to LJ, since crossposting is out of the order (probably permanently, as described at length in this DW maintenance post). Besides, table codes written for LJ suddenly make a lot of trouble on DW.

As for SPN communities and such - I only know of the Team Free Will Bang who uses DW (and tumblr), but since I've been, more or less, kicked out of it for doing photo manips instead of "real" art, I only collect the links once works are posted. Apart from that, I can't remember any comms focusing on SPN.

Ah, this is good to know. I'm so rarely on the DW site at this point, I probably would've missed that announcement entirely and just been very confused the next time I went to do something over there.

Yeah, and apparently LJ has disabled all kinds of cross-posting possibilites by now

Whut! TFW Bang banned manips? Huh. That cuts out a lot of people like emmatheslayer and bluefire etc.

Yeah, for me it was a couple of years back. I asked them since it wasn't clear to me from the rules, and they outright told me that they considered manips not as art. And if I remember correctly, Emma asked them either last year or the year before, and she got pretty much the same answer.
