Hey everyone!
There's been some word going around that Livejournal will become inaccessible for a lot of us given the current situation of the world. (See: Reddit - English-language LiveJournal is apparently not long for this world, save your favorite old fics now!
With that said, I rushed out and created a Livejournal Importer! meaning that if you want to backup your stuff from livejournal, but wasn't looking forward to the amount of copy pasting, you no longer have to! I've automated this all for you! :)
What about creators who are no longer around?
There is always the Deadsite repository for mods if you'd like to share some content (make sure to request the livejournal first if it's not there!!)
However, if you want to backup some useful stories or tutorials, feel free to make an account for this! Call it something along the lines of: "TS2 Livejournal Archive Team".
There are a couple ways to go around and have others help out:
- Add Collaborators. This can be done on each post. It's not account-wise so that might be hard.
- Ask me (Lyralei 👋🏻) on discord to change the ownership of the post(s) to that of the "archive" account, and I will gladly do it!
- Reach out to the people who want to upload under said account. Just make sure to give the password of the shared account to people you seriously trust enough with it!! (Although, this goes without saying, never share your own password with anyone. Just in this instance for a group project, do it through a message please. Not publicly. And never use your own account's password for this! Go with a unique password instead.😉)
A couple of things you should do before sharing under an archive account:
- Make sure that the creator hasn't been around for a long while.
- Make sure the content is either a story, mod, tutorial or useful text post to be archived (random life updates or these kink memes comments/posts and such won't be accepted).
- Make sure to use the project feature! Make it something like: "Skell - Fortune & Romance" and post the posts under that project. This makes it easier for people to navigate!
Can I upload my own livejournal items myself?
Of course! If you don't have an account yet, feel free to create one and start uploading whatever you want to back-up! Whether you use the importer for it or not, that's all fine!
Love, Lyralei
