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.

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.)

I don't think I'll ever be a fan of Tumblr, for the same reason I'll never be a big reader of comic books or graphic novels, I'm just not an especially graphics-oriented person. And mostly that' s fine, different strokes and all that.

But as a platform for posting fic and meta, especially if that's the only place you post, it just seems so ill-suited.
