I wish I had thought of this earlier

I was looking around Dreamwidth last night and for some reason I decided to read more about community journals (which function the same way they did on Live Journal). And this information from the FAQ jumped out at me:

Some users choose to create closed, single-poster communities as an alternative to creating another personal journal for a specific sub-topic of their journal, since you can post to a community without having to log out of your account and log into another personal journal account.

For years I've been aware that this could be done, but I never really gave any thought to it. Until now. It hit me last night that I could use a community blog that could work as a secondary blog for my lady_morningstar account. Why would I want this account to have a secondary account? The answer; to hold the new extended version of my fanfic that I started working on a couple of weeks ago. I see that these community journals even have a "Admin Only" viewing option, which is the same as a Private entry in a personal journal.

So instead of setting the current version of The Archer's Tale to Private and reorganizing the blog to hold the story's new version, I could just leave it up and keep it publicly readable. The extended version of the story will be posted here:: hai_resdaynia .

As I said in this entry's title, I wish I would have thought of this earlier, but I only have about sixteen entries for the extended version to move from this blog to hai_resdaynia. It could have been a lot worse.

So to clarify:
lady_morningstar : A personal blog that holds the current version of the story and will stay as is.
hai_resdaynia : Will hold the extended version of the story, with entries being posted by lady_morningstar.
resdaynia_wanderers : A companion community journal for my occasional OOC entries.

Red Morning

It's now "Day Sixteen" in my current Morrowind game. Aerownen left her shack to go take her morning swim (which she does to each to raise her Athletics skill one point), and this is how the Bitter Coast looked. In this screen it almost looks like an ash or blight storm was going on, but there wasn't. There was just a reddish haze in the fog.



Aeronwen's tentative plans for the day is to venture a little further north and explore the area around Hla Oad, but seeing the way the fog looks, she is no longer so sure. She's wondering if she should just stay home and practice her wood-working skills.
