Dreamwidth Accounts

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Perhaps some of you have heard the rumblings about the changes being made at Live Journal, including the move of headquarters to Russia.  There are a few whispers going 'round that the site may be in for some turbulent times, including hacking or invasions of privacy.  For several years we have maintained an account on Dreamwidth, a similar journaling site that has served as a back up of sorts whenever LJ has had issues, which at one point we thought might be very serious.
I have been updating communities on Dreamwidth, transferring all of our posts and comments to that version of our lives here on LJ.  You can access Section 7 by going HERE
I will continue to transfer from other comms we have here on LJ: mfu_map_room ; mfu_gallery
Dreamwidth isn't an exact duplicate of LJ, the environment is different but the concept is intact and the methods of posting and viewing basically the same.  If you don't already have an account there, I am going to suggest that you consider opening one.  It's a back up, but in times past it has been a necessary one, and may be again if things go wonky.  According to their recent newsletter they have experienced a surge of new accounts, many of them Russian in origin.  You can read the newsletter HERE
I post there as girlintheglen and ironically my last post there was about a hitch on LJ.  LIke I said, we've used it as a back up plan in the past.
You can post questions here in the comments or PM me here at LJ.  We'll probably be addressing this periodically.

Napoleon turned on the tap and stared at himself in the mirror. He pulled down his lower lids, then inspected his tongue. Grimacing at his reflection, he collected a handful of cold water and bent to splash it on his face.

Eyes shut, chin dripping, he felt along the counter for a towel. “Damn,” he whispered, realizing he had forgotten to grab one.

“Here,” said a familiar voice, as a sheet of terry cloth struck the side of his head.

“Thanks.”

“Ugggh,” Kuryakin moaned. He looked over to see his partner crumpled into a ball the the corner of the room.

“Room? Where is this?” He muttered to himself.

It wasn’t a cell, but a neatly appointed living room from the looks of it, the furnishings were contemporary, and keeping with the decor of the times. There was a fire burning in a fireplace...if this was a holding cell, then it was the best they’d ever been in, maybe.
