GoT Fic!

[netgirl_y2k]

You know, it occurred to me recently, because I've been writing a silly amount, that I don't actually know what the social-norm for posting fic is anymore. Like, are you supposed to post only to AO3 and link, or is each fic meant to get its own LJ/DW post? Do people still hate the AO3? Are fic comms even still a thing? Why is Tumblr?

Me = being bad at things that come naturally to the other kids since an undisclosed point in the 1980s.

Anyway, have some femslash with added dragons. Also, the title has nothing to do with anything, I just panicked.

People can say what they like about AO3 (and I realise they can say quite a bit, and I don't even necessarily disagree with all of it) but after years of ff.net their uploading system was a godsend.

I have tried to engage with tumblr a number of times, but it's just not for me. And the the thing was the only thing that ever provoked me to reblog or comment was things where people were wrong on the internet and it quickly became a blog almost exclusively of things I hated. Which is just not the way I want to do fandom, you know?

I'm a tag wrangler and I don't disagree with everything people say. Hell some of the things people say are things we're constantly fighting about behind scenes. But their uploading system was an amazing thing. It's a multifandom archive that I can actually use.

The thing that got me with Tumblr was that I could spend hours there without doing anything of substance. I'd reblog pretty pictures or comic scans and I'd maybe comment on one or two items. There was no depth to the place? If that makes sense. I could engage with people, but it wasn't easy and if the conversation went more than a few back and forths I just felt sorry for anyone following me who didn't care.

Tumblr good for low stress, low impact, low everything fandom. Bad for actually wanting to do fandom.
