I just went to sign up at greatestjournal only to discover that GASP, MY USERNAME WAS TAKEN! ..only to discover that it was taken by ME, a while ago. oops.
I was thinking last night about how it wouldn't be so bad, leaving lj, I could still keep up with people using RSS and whatnot... but then I realise. Friends locked stuff. It's pretty much what I use livejournal for these days, for reading about my friends more than their fandom stuff, and for posting stuff for my friends, not for the public.
It makes me really sad and pissed off to think that that could be taken away from me, but I don't see a lot of choice. I'm also incredibly sad about the idea of abandoning my comments, my feedback, my conversations with friends (and foes) that have taken place over the past 5 years.
So, I'm http://angstslashhope.greatestjournal.com. I'll try and use ljArchive to upload this journal over there, will use Semagic to cross-post all entries over here and over there (until the time comes for whatever), and will think about how to get![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hopeful_fiction somewhere else as well.
In addition, if YOU are looking for somewhere to archive your fannish works (or blog), I have tonnes of bandwidth and space over at http://oscillating.net, and can install for you the very handy blogging software Wordpress (which is also good for fic archiving!), at the click of a button.
I can also provide (at the click of a button) password protected directories on your webspace there.
It is not my own server though, but Dreamhost's. I'm pretty sure they're quite lenient when it comes to fannish works - podcasts, songvids, fanart, fanfiction. However, they don't gel with the piracy stuff, so if you wanted to take me up on the webspace offer then it's with the agreement that you won't be uploading any films, tv shows or mp3s (that you don't own the copyright to). I've got far too much important stuff on that account to have it all done away with in one fell swoop because someone wanted to share the latest episode of SPN with their friend.
So with that clear, drop me a line if you want a yourname.oscillating.net subdomain for your blog or fannish works.
('oscillating', btw, is a reference to it being multifandom hosting - as in 'oscillating fan'.)
