Fic journal?

[kalleah]

I've been debating the pros and cons of setting up a separate community for my fic. For those who have done so, what advantages do you see? Any disadvantages? How do you handle archiving old stuff (without losing comments/threads)?

I moved to a separate fic journal when I realised I was all over Google and I wanted a little privacy. In fact, I don't really use my regular journal enough to make the extra cost worthwhile, so I don't know whether I'll keep up with the two.

Advantages - having a separate fic journal makes it easier to find tags quickly.

Disadvantages - the icons I want to illustrate particular stories always seem to be in the wrong LJ. Also you need to keep track of which communities you're a member of on each.

But on the whole, I do like having both.

That's my primary consideration, too, but I don't think I'm as out there as you are. Not a bad thing.
