I love your fics and I'd hate to loose them because LJ's had a major cock up. When you set up at Dreamwidth account you can import your livejournal posts across. There are some people that have a problem with it but most of the time it works quite well then all you need to do is change the links on your masterlist.
I have no objections to Dreamwidth. I'm just remembering my pitiful internet access at the moment ans whimpering a lot. Fortunately, I have been Saved Majoe Big Time (see below).
Not to your friends on facebook but anyone on facebook that they are friends with, so possibly the whole damn world.
Dreamwidth was really easy to set up, and you could transfer all your entries over with just the click of a button (I know you have millions of sites but as long as they aren't comms you should be able to do this).
I opened a DW account last week and it's easy to use. Today I did something I never thought I would, I flocked my lj :(

I like what I've seen of Dreamwidth but I have such erratic internet access that I'm not sure how long it would take me to do anything about it. Fortunately, darthhellokitty has come to my aid. (There was even a rousing bit of background music!)
It's not exactly linking to your Facebook/Twitter account(unless you want it to), more like, if I were to link this comment to my Facebook, there would be a link to your post along with it. Then any of my Facebook friends would be able to read it and comment on it as well. They've also changed the 'Share This' feature on any of our public entries so that anyone can repost our entries to any of their social networking sites (click on the 'share this' feature on your entry and you'll see which ones they can link to). Having recently migrated over to Dreamwidth, they make it pretty easy to import everything from LJ to Dreamwidth, so there isn't a lot of copying and pasting.
*shudder* I can just imagine what some of my non-fannish friends might say if they were faced with some of my more x-rated entries! I may yet migrate but I'll need to wait until I have something a little more stable access-wise. The nice thing about LJ is that it is private and you can let people know who you are at a later stage. It's sort of fun to be someone other than your 9-5 personna.
*snort of amusement* Yeah, I needed something like sedation when I first read about it! I had visions of the ten year old asking her mother "what does auntie mean when she writes about bdsm?" and my getting blasted into the next century. With fries.
I really need to have a stable internet link before I start getting delusions of reorganising my fannish existence!
You can enable or disable Facebook or Twitter cross-posting using the Facebook Connect option on the Extensions tab of the My Account Settings page.
So, you'd have to deliberately set it up so that your LJ posts would go over there, and obviously you're not going to do that.
SOMEBODY on my flist posted a way to make the Facebook and Twitter checkboxes in your comment forms disappear, so if someone comments, they can't make their comment go over to Facebook (which still wouldn't make anybody able to see your locked post, just that person's comment).
I'm going to see if I can find their solution - I did it, and I'm not seeing any such checkboxes.

It won't do it automatically unless you set it up to, but someone else can post a comment to something you post - and yeah, snowball.
DW let's you import your journal or journals in your case with a click. It's a relatively painless process.
I have invite codes if you need one.

The import only takes a few minutes ... my whole journal was done in about five minutes.
I know you have several. You can combine them into one even if you chose because you can do multiple uploads to one account.
