I feel strongly that there has to be a balance between supporting the fandom platforms that you want to survive, but also actually posting in places where your voice and work will be noticed? And that's a weird balancing act. Like, I post on LJ because I can't avoid it if I want to interact with people, but hate it and try to make it clear that DW is my platform of choice over everything else. So: I would recommend picking a platform (AO3 is a great one, tumblr has a lot of problems and I wouldn't pick that one myself tbqh!, DW is obviously the one I support the most) and trying to consolidate most of your stuff there. If that's not enough for you or not working for you, then you can branch out to the others, but hopping to one platform at a time is way easier than trying to set up shop on all the platforms at once.
/cough, I think you should pick DW because I am clearly biased, but it is not the place you go to if you want feedback, because nobody ever comments here and I don't know why. AO3 is probably a better place!, but DW can be good while you wait?
This is long and stupid I'm sorry but HI I AM GLAD YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT FANDOM COME JOIN US ON DW!! And AO3 is good too! That is all I guess. ♥
DW is my first choice, too, actually! I'd really adore seeing fandom pick up here, since it's a platform I'm most comfortable with now. LJ is... strange to even keep using, but it's true between the two of them (unless you rp) it seems to just have that many more eyes still.
I want to write again like whoa, so I'm considering AO3, too - and like I said a comment or two above, I'm on an invite waiting list now....
lmao I could go on and on and on about my issues with tumblr, and sometimes I feel like I have in a bunch of vague, scattered sentences, guh - !
Where it all gets puzzling, too, on the other side of my fandom interest - with my line of study I do need to draw, and drawing things for myself would be nice to do again in spare time - but the mixed bag involved with posting art is something I just can't begin to go at length about, as far as how scary things get from an artist's perspective. :c
