If you haven't, please PLEASE back up your journal - it's so much of our culture's history that would be erased if it happens! It only takes a few minutes to do. If you want, I'll do it for you (you'll need to give me your password, but then you can just change it if you're uncomfortable)
But really, it's only a few minutes.
Guide
ETA:It's really simple, DW just has a page for that -
https://www.dreamwidth.org/support/faqbrowse?faqid=127
1) Log in to DW
2) click the link in the first line
3) you'll get a form with clicky boxes for what you'd like to back up (everything!). Fill the form, go read fic.
If you're having trouble logging into an old DW account - maybe just open a new one? The combined time of opening a new account and backing up my journal maybe took about ten minutes....
(of course, then I stayed there messing with it, which took about the same time with no necessity)
[mention of kinkshaming and politics ahead]
OK - this is important and I mean it -
you lovely people into water sports getting second-hand kinkshamed because of that horrible white man - YOU DON'T DESERVE IT, and I am so sorry you're getting this, and you are lovely!
But really, it's only a few minutes.
