Importing My LJ

bewizeOkay, I've made the decision to import my "main" LJ to DW. I intend to keep crossposting to both. I also have a fic LJ that I do not believe I will import at this time. I think most of the people interested in reading any fic I write will read it on LJ and I'd like to keep comments all in one location.
I will crosspost fannish things to that LJ and here as well, I suppose.
I'm doing this both to have a back up of the last x years of journaling and because I'm meeting a lot of awesome people here on DW and feel like they have no way of getting to know me, since I keep a lot of my personal life under lock and most of my writing for sharing that isn't fannish was on my main LJ.
So... it's a compromise. And someday, I may go ahead and import the fic LJ here, too, and just use both.
But, wish me luck. I'm in queue to import and it makes me nervous.
I also confess, I was won over by the promise that my tags, friend groups, and icons would be imported as well. ♥
ETA: I think it worked. And damn, was that fast!

I may go ahead and bring the fics over just to make sure that they're backed up somewhere. That's a lot of work that I'd hate to lose if LJ gets pissy about something again...

Date: 2010-04-21 09:38 pm (UTC)I need to do a 2nd import which should bring over to DW copies of any comments that were made on old LJ entries after I imported them the 1st time. And maybe it will bring over LJ comments from things I've crossposted since then? Guess I'll find out when I get around to it...
