A Question for Readers and Writers...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Okay, we have links to various different venues that include DW, AO3 and ff.net. My question to you is this: Do you have a preference for where you post and/or read?  This is assuming that many or most are no longer posting content here on LJ.
I'm just wondering how this is all going.  I tend to post on DW and copy the link here.  Of course I haven't written or posted anything significant lately, so I'm depending on those of you who have to set this on course.
I ask because DW is a valid archive for us, especially since older entries should all be there now even as they are here on LJ, going back to 2012.  Are you more satisfied utilizing the secondary outlets?
I suppose it doesn't really matter, but it seems like something we might talk about.

I wasn't posting on DW because you were importing the content, which would result in double posts. Though I did have to post in DW today as there was a problem with FF.net. I post my drabbles, and snapshot series there for the most part and am moving or posting my other stories on AO3. Still DW came in handy today as yet another outlet on which to post/link.

I am still doing the imports, so I get not wanting to duplicate. I suppose I'm just wondering at what point we start on DW rather than ending there. LJ seems less and less occupied.

At this point there's still some activity here. You have better access to the stats, plus there's a lot of people still who haven't made the move to DW or who haven't gone back (am still waiting for responses from people invited to joined DW/S7, but they're on S7 here.

If things die down that much here, and they're starting to look like it, the we can move to DW but cross post to Section VII or can you import? to S7 here? That way we can still reach the people who haven't made the move to or back to DW.

Does that make sense?

Avrovulcan posted yesterday and I let her know what's going on. Don't know if she has a DW account, and should check. She didn't bother reading the TOS when she signed onto LJ and agreed.

Right now FF.net is a problem for me as I've been unable to post there for 3 days, and have sent several error messages that I received in a message to support. A week ago, reviews weren't showing up. So after a phenomenal month stat-wise in April, May is off to a rocky start on FF.net.

There's some stories /series that I post there, and some I post on AO3 mainly because the series like snapshots and randomness are up there in chapters and will take a long time to add to AO3.... plus I'm still clearing my journal here before I import to DW, and I'm still converting all my story posts to link! Aye-yi-yi! lol!

Like mrua said, posting to the DW Section 7 seemed redundant as you're still importing.

Lately, I've been posting challenge responses on my personal DW and linking to it here; I used to crosspost to AO3, but I've started experimenting with non-gen versions of my challenge responses; as they aren't gen, I don't link those here.

Thanks for not mixing in the AU with our Gen postings :D The links seem to working well for everyone, and AO3 is easy to work with.

Everything I've written is archived on AO3, where I am Avery11. I prefer AO3 to DW because I can archive my illustrations there.

AO3 does give a wider berth where content is concerned. I recently opened a Wordpress page for selected stories from my archive.

the only thing about AO3 that's a bummer is that it's an archive and with no sense of community like here, and eventually DW. I think that's what we don't want to lose. It seems like more and more people are leaver or avoiding LJ. It's a shame really.

I like reading on AO3 because of the nice clear page. I'm not so fond of ff.net I don't find the font as clear. DW is ok.

I'm still following links from here, I'm using DW more but I haven't linked up with all my flist yet over there.

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

I suppose AO3 has become the 'go to' archive. DW is a process, and I wish I could say that it is as pleasant to use as LJ. I am stumped as to how something virtual, or online or whatever we call it, can actually achieve atmosphere.

When you do link up, I'm mlaw over there. (just like on fan fiction.net) "D
