Crossposting between a community on DW and a personal journal on another LJ-based platform

Title:
Crossposting between a community on DW and a personal journal on another LJ-based platform

Area:
crossposting

Summary:
A previous suggestion asked that crossposting be enabled between a personal journal and a community that are both on Dreamwidth. I would ask that we be able to post an entry on a Dreamwidth community and crosspost that entry to the personal journal(s) we've enabled crossposting access to.

Description:
Part of moving house is finding new and better ways of posting entries. Because I can only afford one paid account over on LiveJournal and the ads frustrate me too much to bother with unpaid accounts, I've been posting creative works and personal commentaries to the same journal--but here on Dreamwidth ads are not a problem. I would like to post some entries to a personal journal and some entries to a closed community where appropriate. Doing so at present, however, means I would lose the crossposting functionality that I so love over here at Dreamwidth. I therefore propose that the current crossposting option be enabled even when we are posting to a community rather than to a personal journal. Perhaps this could be a paid feature? This would be something I would certainly buy into!

Potential problem:
-importing from the journal you've been crossposting to may mean importing entries you don't want on your personal journal over here on DW

Additional thoughts:
-enabling crossposting between a DW community and a LJ community that your registered crossposting account has posting privileges for might also be good somewhere down the road, but right now it seems that the ability to crosspost between a DW community and a personal journal on another service would be a lot easier to set into place.
