For a very long time, my LJ was for everything: fic, life, and whatever else.
And then I realized I was neglecting my domain in favor of LJ, as far as non-fic writing went. So now my LJ is allegedly fic-only, which means it's been vewwy, vewwy quiet over there of late. I miss the immediacy of the feedback from LJ, but that doesn't really pertain to what you're asking.
I'd say the advantages of having one place for fic and one for life are that I don't have to filter either - if someone's on my flist, they know they'll be seeing some sort of fiction when I post. If they read my other site, they know they'll be hearing about my life. I have rambled on and on without really saying anything. Yeah.
Basically, I think it comes down to personal preference. It doesn't bother me to read your fic and non-fic entries in one place, and it wouldn't bother me if they were contained in separate journals. I am, obviously, a huge help. :D
