I am notoriously bad for posting RP logs -- this never used to be the case, honestly. At one point in time, I used to love editing and posting logs. I still do love the idea of having posted logs, but I have grown lazy and fallen horribly behind.

As a result, I actually lost about 2-3 months worth of RP logs from the summer, which sucked royally. But what can you do? So now I've started backing up my logs once a week (or more often) onto CD (I'll see about putting it on a zip drive, too, if I can... or a second CD).

Meanwhile, I don't generally post logs in my LiveJournal, as I've kept it as an IC venue for my two girls. And I keep this Vox blog for exposition and thoughts about RPing, XMR, etc.

So, I'm considering trying to submit to the log site again. The only downside to the game's log site is that you can't lock who sees it, so if it has potentially sensitive info in it (like what the X-Men or Brotherhood might be up to), it can't get posted there. In LiveJournal, you can lock it to select groups of people by using friends filters. A positive thing about posting in the game's log site is that newcomers and guests can see that the game is actually populated and busy, encouraging them to join the game and stay.

So, what to do, what to do?

I suppose I could do a combination of both. I could post more sensitive logs on LJ with an OOC tag and user pic, keeping the text behind a cut and filter, while putting more 'public consumption' logs on the game's log site. (I don't think you can do text cuts in Vox, otherwise I'd just do it here and keep the OOC stuff out of my IC weblog.)

What does everyone else do? Do you find you face the same dilemmas? I know some of you use LJ strictly for log-posting. I just don't like muddling them up. However, I suppose if I was posting logs there, I'd at least be posting more regularly. ;)
