Importing my LJ

It's been a while since I last thought about importing my LiveJournal entries into this DW journal. In fact, I make it more than three years ago, and that only as a passing aside.

But the thing is... I've gone so long without doing it that I'm not sure I feel the need to do so any longer. I mean, it would be nice, but I don't think it's absolutely necessary at this point. There's also the problem that it makes it harder to use access groups since I've barely added anybody to access groups over here at DW.

To that end, I think I'm going to finally, definitively say that I won't be importing my LJ journal into this one. I will import it into a separate account ([personal profile] sophie_archive - yes, I have had that account for a long time!), and all the posts there will be access-locked (as they would have been had I chosen to import it into this journal). If you'd like access to it after I've imported, I'll post an entry with a poll that you can respond to; I'll almost certainly be happy to give you access. (Do bear in mind, however, that my LJ stretches back to 2003, so there will be plenty of instances of my old male name and references to me as male, in case this matters to you. On the flip side, it does contain extensive documentation about my transition prior to starting my DW, which you may find interesting! These posts are in a separate filter; I'll ask about filters and who wants to be on them later.)

My LJ will not be disappearing, and I'm going to continue crossposting, so subscribers to my LJ don't need to worry.

Once I've imported into [personal profile] sophie_archive, I'll post about giving access to the journal and opt-in filters, and add people to each as wanted.
