Wake Up Call: Dreamwidth Open For Business

[cap_ironman_mod]

With the current LJ concerns and some people making the exclusive switch to DW, we've decided to open the Dreamwidth comm for posting again. Feel free to share your fanworks, start discussions, post recs and so on on this comm. We will include stuff posted to the Dreamwidth community in our Monthly Fanwork Newlsetters and might point the rest of the community at discussion posts here.

For now official comm posts and event information will be crossposted ONLY to Livejournal, tumblr. It will not be posted directly to this community journal on Dreamwidth.

As stated in a previous post we will continue to back-up LJ content to DW occasionally, just in case. As imports won't always happen when new announcements go up and even when they happen imports could be slow when DW is busy, any official announcement might arrive here with serious lag.

To make it easier for everyone who has made the switch to keep up to date in real time, we have created the following feeds:

cap_ironman_lj_feed
c_im_bigbang_lj_feed

You can subscribe to them to never miss an announcement.

Now have fun, filling this comm with new life!

Great news! Especially since I deleted my LJ ;) Thanks.

[navaan]

I know you are not the only one! :) Have fun here!

[kabal42]

Thanks! :) I'm sure I will.

[lady_katana4544]

This is awesome to read. :) And thank you immensely for doing this mods.

[navaan]

We're glad to keep things going for everyone! :)

Lovely! I haven't been active on LJ in ages for all sorts of reasons. If I ever get back to writing Stony I will be posting them here, not at LJ.

DW is just so warm and friendly, it's what Stony needs after all that Marvel has put them through. ;^)

[navaan]

I do hope you get back into it at some point!

That's what we're here for! Trying to keep things accessible for all parts of Steve/Tony fandom.

Will we be able to post here? I subscribed to the community but this is a closed community, so all I think I can do is comment on posts.

And for whatever reason, this style doesn't let me get at the top of the page- it ends at the pic of Steve and Tony. I can drag it to get a glimpse of the links above, but as soon as I stop dragging and try to get at any of the links, the page bounces back up, hiding them. It's also got the icons to the right of of black line going down on the right side from the end of the 'everything left unsaid header picture' but the text of comments ( and the text box to place a comment) runs past the black line.


EDIT: Oh, never mind about the style. I CAN reach the reload page in Style mine, and that fixes everything. Except the posting issue.

[navaan]

I haven't changed anything about the style of the page. And I haven't had the time to look at it yet at all. But thanks for pointing that out!

The setting of the comm should have been updated to open membership and posting again. I just checked. Could you try again?

Posting here is very welcome.

[feng_shui_house]

I just went into my own DW settings and changed it to show all entries in my own style, that should be a permanent fix.

And then I joined Cap_Ironman and now have the comm in my drop down menu options. YAY. :^)

The only thing I've written recently was a fairly long (22k) Tony-centric boarding school AU fusion with the classic 'A Little Princess' story. Unfortunately, the role I felt suited Steve best only has him appear at the end, so it's not acceptable as a post here, but now that I've mentioned it, it seems mean not to give it a link.

I'll look into how the CSS here was set up as soon as I have the time for it. I see the glitch happen in my browser too, when I don't use my own style. I don't even know when this was set up. Hopefully we can find a permanent solution for this.

Oh, that sounds actually awesome and relevant to my interest! Thanks for the link!

[feng_shui_house]

At least there's an easy workaround, if people don't mind having all journals show up in their own style.

Oh, good, I hope you enjoy the fic. It was a fun one to write, -unexpected characters kept showing up when I needed them to move the plot along.

[navaan]

:D I hope to have the time to find out all about unexpected side-characters soon. After RBB date claim I will need some fic reading time to relax.

[kabal42]

I think it was set up a very long time ago, and DW styles have changed since. I seem to recall the mod team I was part of fixing some of the layout issues across all journals, but I am not sure we ever got to finish that. So it may well be holdover from when the journal was first created. This particular issues was not present then, however.

If you need help, I am not a CSS expert, but might be able to sink some time and effort into it. (Feel free to ignore me too.)

[navaan]

Thank you so much for offering. I appreciate any help and input. \o/

[kabal42]

You are more than welcome! I'll have a quick look one of the next days and let you know if I think I can actually figure it out ;)

[lil_shepherd]

Thank you. I also am migrating here (my LJ will be deleted when my current paid account runs out.) This is really good news. Imzy is dead in the water, and Tumblr is no good at community action. Currently, this is the best option we have.

[navaan]

I'm glad this is working out!
