I think you can really use any sort of blogging/journaling source for storing your character's journals. Â I use our LS forums which should keep journals public for anyone who may want to read them. Â I think others may use things like blogger, tumblr, or the lodestone blogs. Â When we began Eva's journals it was on the forums of the LS that we belonged to at that time. Â Since then Eva has been a part of five different LS's and most had a specific forum dedicated just to threads for characters to use for their journals. Â And we also keep a backup on a text file on our computer, and a dropbox backup for safekeeping as well.
The important thing - at least for us - is the journaling itself. Â It really helps you get into the character's brain and makes it a lot easier to figure out what she's thinking so that when we do get to the RP her decisions and the motivations beneath them are much clearer. Â Just pick a blogging site and if you want to publicize it add a link to your sig here on the RPC and/or on your character wiki page. Â
Good luck though! Â I can only imagine it's challenging to write a journal during this time when there's very little RP going on, but it's also greatly rewarding. Â Being one of the time-jumpers I'm not really able to keep a journal going, but it is one of those things I'm really, really looking forward to picking back up once Eva steps out of the rift!
