Personally I don't think the changes will have a huge impact on us, but there's also people's principles and if people move then there's no people to form a comm, hence discussion needed :)
Interesting thought on backing up LJ only fics. There'd have to be a discussion around if this would be a be_compromised account or a general LJ backup account with some fics tagged as be_compromised or included in be_compromised collections - I think there's a niche here for all LJ, not just be_compromised? The original writers would have to be contacted and agree, plus credit would have to be appropriately given. Which, as most fic writers use AO3 these days you might find the LJ only fics are authors who don't want those fics on another archive or aren't active/contactable anymore, but you'd have to find that out. And it'd take work - you'd need a list of those fics, who to contact, organise it, upload it... I don't think the be_compromised mods have the time, to be honest, although again we could discuss. If anyone wanted to take this on as a general LJ backup project though, possibly an idea?
Perhaps in the meantime, or as a starting point, a post with links to LJ only fics relevant to be_compromised so people could download them if they wanted? Inviting commenting with other LJ only known fics relevant to our interests?
