So we now have both PPC communities up and running on DW: theppc for Boarders, and ppchq for the agents (and RPing as them).

In the old days theppc was fairly quiet; as its profile says, it exists mainly to collect PPCers' personal LJs. We would then friend the people we liked, and read their posts on our friends' pages. I'm not sure quite how that carries over to DW - anyone?

ppchq sort of split the difference between that and a community for posting in. It had its share of posts, but it was also a hub for RPing journals (like Dafydd's).

I... would really like to see all that reappear. I think slow-motion pointless RPs in ppchq are worth having; I think in-character journals are even more so, because they're a window on the agents without having to be formal stories or time-consuming RPs; and I would really, really like to see personal journals over on the_ppc make a comeback. The PPC-on-LJ was an amazing community, and having that back would be amazing.

I also want people's opinions on mirroring the personal side between DW and LJ. If you're a DW user, you can set up a basic LJ account and have your posts automatically mirror, without giving the Russians anything except server strain. The reason I'd like this is that I still have friends on LJ - even after all these years! - and would like to think we can hold a community intact across two journals. I'll be cross-posting everything in my journals regardless of what everyone else does.

I know I don't post actual stories very frequently, but some RP like I've seen in the olden days on LJ would be super cool.

Also, this is great. Yay archiving!

Speaking of which, I'm going to try making a separate journal for the Deleterius stuff. I'd been thinking about it before, and now seems like a good time. I'm just wondering whether I'd need to do another import or if I can move them directly from my personal Dreamwidth journal... It might be less frustrating to just copy and paste, if it comes down to that.

I'm also very open to getting some help with putting up the material I was sent. It's been slow going, since, uh, full-time student who was doing two degrees until this summer. If anyone's interested in helping let me know; it'll probably be another few years until everything's even close to being up, otherwise.

I already have a couple of character journals over there, from when July tried to get us RPing at PPCHQ. I'd like to use them more; it's just real low on the priorities list with so few people over there to notice if I do. {= ) And, as noted below, I'm moving my own journal, just cuz.

And yeah, it's pretty easy—once you realize you first have to create a Dreamwidth account to import content to. That took me a few minutes of futzing around.

The queue stands at 5 comments, 254 entries.

I imagine many people are going to be doing this in the near future.
