I feel you on the “better to have backups” front, I created my neocities archive for this over July and August! (I had… just a tiiiiiiny bit of backlog to upload so yeah, took me two months xD) I’m not familiar enough with Dreamwidth to comment on that, but I’m on Pillowfort and I don’t know how comfortable it can be to post texts that get even a bit long? Is it good for you so far?

I never understood how people even do social medias in general x’) I’m struggling just posting “this new fic now exist” because it feels like spamming to me, but then, well, I’m aware I have a personal problem with social medias… I’m trying to keep doing that on Mastodon though, as a way to liven up the tags for the fandoms I write in. But it always feels like if it’s not fanart or a meme I shouldn’t bother… (Case in point: I offered to write for any prompt in a Pillowfort community, I got one (1) answer, but someone posted a meme that’s not even funny today and there are already 3 likes…)

I never was on Reddit. I just started to get a vague interest in it because my current fandom is apparently surprisingly active on Reddit… a few weeks before the whole “strike” happened. I had barely mastered “reading that one subreddit” x’D I came here in hope more people would jump ship and I could find at least a tiny bit of activity for this fandom but even if someone did create the community, it was already abandoned by the time I came in. I’m now the only poster in there and I have no clue what I’m doing because I wasn’t active on Reddit so I don’t understand what’s expected of this kind of website. I honestly feel very lost. But to get back to r/fanfiction, it’s nice to know a place like this can exist! I hope we can create something nice here now =) (And I’ll try to keep in mind to include fanart and fancomics in the discussions, even if it’s not always easy because I’m just a writer ^^)
