Hello everyone! It's been quite a long time since I last posted here, mostly because I've not been working very much on anything graphical or layout-related. Anyway, in the intervening time, I've opted to move my journals (all 35 of them) to Dreamwidth, in objection to LJ's attitude towards customer satisfaction.

So what does this mean to you, my subscribers? Not much. It just means some of the things I end up posting here will not be useable on LJ. Layouts, for instance. And even then, I will most likely be making future layouts compatible with both Dreamwidth and LJ. Everything else is usable across both sites: graphics, icons, textures, stock art, et cetera.

So, I'm making a few additions around here. The first is a welcome post, which will be sticky'd and will have my rules, and a brief description of my style of work and what's on offer.

There's a couple more things on my to-do list: first, I'm working on adapting my LJ layout "Escapist" to Dreamwidth—it is, after all, the one I use on my personal journal, and I want to get it working right there too. Second, I have some Dreamwidth-only resources to post (of a graphic nature), which I had fun creating, in that migraine-inducing way.

I'm also in the middle of working on a new layout with a shit-ton of variants, called "Graue Farben" (which means "Gray Colours" in German.) I was developing it for LJ, but now I will be developing it for Dreamwidth as well. The LJ version will be for Expressive; the DW version will be for Practicality.

When I get around to finishing the layout for this journal, a public version will be made available, called "Ghost Love Score". (You'll notice my layout text is from the Nightwish song of the same name.) The same goes for my story/art journals indagatio_eterna and millennia_fanworks. The public versions of those will be called "Anderwelt" and "Storytime", respectively, both after the songs that I use for my journal text on them.

...I think I've kept you here long enough, reading this wall o' text. Go on. Come on over to Dreamwidth, if you like, or keep an eye on the LJ if you don't feel like moving. (I will tell you, it is a bit tedious, especially when you have as many journals as I do.) I've set up cross-posting, which means most, if not all, entries will be posted from DW but will appear on the LJ. :)

For Icons, do like so for Dreamwidth:


For Layouts and Mood Themes, credit is expected either in your profile, your linklist, or both.
For your linkslist, do like so on Dreamwidth:


To credit in your profile, you can use simple HTML. Preferred format is "Layout/Mood Theme by millenniumangel/millenniumangel", but I won't be pissed off if you do something else, as long as the credit is there.

For graphics or anything else, link to the resource's entry here when you post the final work, then let me know on said entry~!
