Importing My LJ

[bewize]

Okay, 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!

The importer works REALLY well, and I just learned that I should be able to import my LJ to the DW I've already been using here for a year without doubling up on entries (if I decide to do that, since I'd already made a 'tarma' mirror for it earlier.)

That's what I just did!

The only thing - the icons didn't come over, but that's okay. The posts, plus the comments, did! And that makes me VERY happy indeed!

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...

You had some cool stuff on that fic LJ besides fics, too. Plus memes and things I couldn't participate in because they were on LJ. :(
