Yes, please!

I like to think my use of LJ falls somewhere around Patty the Passionate,
but I have *one* journal (and 1-2 dead communities; I lost access to one so
I don't know if it still counts as "mine" or not). I don't write fic, I
don't RP, and I'm not active in any fandom. I post on average 1-2 times per
day, some of which are short and some of which are lengthy. I read a bunch
of communities and participate in several, as well as in friends' journals.
And until I started reading this list, I thought I was a heavy LJ user.

I am, however, active in Pagan communities and I know several people who
have separate spirituality journals. (I used to have one myself.) Others of
my friends have weight-loss journals. In both of these cases, having
subordinate accounts or personas would be *fabulous*. Especially if a
sub-account could have different settings -- maybe I don't care who reads my
daily-life posts but I want my spirituality posts friends-only, I don't want
to bother with filters, half of my flist doesn't want to read the
spirituality posts, and I don't want to post "hey, check out my other
journal!" PSAs all the time to make sure that my friends who DO want to read
the spirituality posts know where they're at. Or maybe I want text posting
for my main journal, I don't want it for the spirituality journal, and I
want tons of icons for both. Or, for another example, I don't want to read
my friends' weight-loss posts but can be chickenshit about saying "please
take me off this filter" (if those posts are even filtered!), and would much
rather have the option of friending or defriending a separate journal
without losing this person as an LJ-friend completely.

While I understand the draw of having a fandom/RP/fic-friendly journal
space, I will be disappointed if DW ends up as a fandom/RP/fic-specific
journal space. That's not what I'm here for.
