It's been quite a while since I posted here, and I'm not at all sure many people who know me remain. I've had very strong feelings about not destroying fandom assets even after creators have moved on, and it was never my intention to delete this journal.

So sorry about this, Xie! But I'll be following you no matter where you go, whether to DW (I've backed up all my stuff there as well), IJ, and A03!

Same here, Xie... Thank you for the heads up where you are going, etc. I created a DW journal with the same name. My entries copied over in about 1-2 days. It's sad what happened with LJ but luckily we have alternatives. I'm sad for those also who no longer come around and their work may be lost, in addition to the legacy journals.

It is sad.

So much wonderful work has been published in LJ and now is likely to be lost.

I've also backed up everything to DW and am sorting out the links and stuff before I make a final decision about what to do about LJ.

Good to know where to find you.

It is sad. I will follow you and everyone else that goes to DW. I never thought this would happen here. I'm in the process of figuring it all out too. Hugs! Annie

I dearly miss your writing. I am going to try to get a DW account. I am not always successful with new things, lol. I am going to follow you on twitter though.
