tolkien100Due to the current uncertainty regarding the future of LJ, I have successfully managed to back this community up to Dreamwidth. I discovered last night that a Dreamwidth comm does exist and it was backed up to 2017, when moderation/ownership of this comm was transferred to myself and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liadtbunny,
but the Dreamwith comm was not transferred at the same time.
I contacted the ownermrkinch there and they responded immediately and passed admin of the comm to be and I was successfully able to import the comm entries and all the comments.
I'm happy to crosspost challenges there as well, and while LJ continues to exist, I will also to regular back ups and housekeeping. If you would like to find the comm on there and subscribe etc, it's https://tolkien100.dreamwidth.org/ . I am on DW under the same username.
My own intentions are to remain on LJ while it continues to exist. Not all Russians support Putin in this hideous war and LJ has long been an important tool for Russian bloggers and a connection for them to the outside world. For that reason, I'm happy to remain. I appreciate that this is a deeply personal decision for everyone and respect everyone's choices and their reasons.

I knew the DW community used to exist, but wasn't quite sure whether it still did.
