I understand why people choose to post fic to Tumblr -- because they've got a lot of followers there, because things get so easily disseminated there, because it's where they spend so much of their fannish time. What I hate is when they post fics there and nowhere else, because it really sucks as a format to save things in. But, if they're writing stuff they think of as a throwaway, for people to read once and move on, or expect people to just bookmark what they like in the hope it'll still be there if they want to rec someone to it or come back and reread, I can see them as thinking Tumblr is fine.
Doesn't mean I agree. But I can see where the thinking comes from. (What I really prefer is when someone makes a Tumblr post with a link to the fic, which is posted elsewhere -- ideally on AO3.)
