Hi there, I noticed you asked for critique. I really like this journal, pink and black happen to be one of my favourite combinations. It's surprisingly readable (despite the very black background) and I like the blue links a lot. I also like that you've removed the journal icon and the smaller font size for the credits.
Main problem is the journal title font. Heather BTN looks very cool, but it doesn't appear. You need to go to google fonts and look for similar fonts there, then just add them there and dA will recognized it. Try to only use the really snazzy ones like that for titles though, since their distracting.
I'm going to nitpick, because your already creating some very neat skins and this one is very well made. You could add some extra features, like scrollboxes, side bars, special effects when you use < strong > or < blockquote > (Use .strong { blah; blah; blah;} etc; (or .text strong . Sometimes the former fails.)
You could also add some nice thumb gallery codes! Either create: .thumb a img { background: #FFF; padding: 5px; border: 1px soild #FF0000; } .thumb a:hover img { background: #000; } (works but looks horrible. Need to use HTML Div tags.)
Or you could use the same properties within a img { properties;} and a:hover img { properties;} which would have the same effect, but it will effect all images which contain links. the other contains the images effected within the tags.
Final nitpick, use [link] for your test text in future. Saves time, shows more text, doesn't distract and it's geeky.
Good luck with the CSS! If you have any questions let me know and I'll try to explain better Hope this critique saves you some time hunting tutorials and trying to force codes to work xD ~REII
