The Ink-Pot and the Palette

Hi! You have every right to comment--LOL! That's why I post publicly. It's so nice to know you're here.

Though I don't post fic per se on my journals, I do use them to announce those extremely rare occasions when I've posted fic on the AO3.

Tumblr certainly allows long text posts--people do post fic there--but it's not really the kind of place where most people go to read long text (for one thing, good lord, so many of the blog styles there involve tiny gray fonts on non-white backgrounds--no wonder, since it's a very young userbase).

Similarly, you can post long text on Google+, no problem, but people generally don't. So far, G+ acts mostly like a kind of long-form Twitter, and the "important" people I follow there blog elsewhere and just post links to their blogs.

It's weird and unsettled. I think it's just the churn and change that's inherent to the internet--you get used to a platform, then something slicker comes along and people bail, and communities re-form in the new place, and it just keeps happening faster and faster.

But, bottom line, I'm comfortable here.

Thanks for commenting!
