Bleurgh, dreamwidth.

Look, I have no plans to leave LJ. I have always found the regular flurries of 'move to dreamwidth!' drama quite irritating.

But I do have drsquidlove on DW, sitting unused. (I had a moment of panic and possessive rage when I realised the ID was taken, but then I realised I was the one who'd taken it, back in the 2011 livejournal-is-dead-sky-is-

It makes me laugh that you had that moment of possessive rage because I had one, too. This is what happens when we snag accounts and never, ever do anything with them :D

[drsquidlove]

Not just me, then?

I knew I had my personal blathering name over there, because I got it for the tsunami fundraising, but still have no memory of grabbing drsquidlove. I was very relieved when I saw the icon. :-D

Friending you there. I'm staying here too. But now I have a dw to forget about..

[drsquidlove]

I appreciate your effort! I know your fic is already backed up to your website and on AO3, but importing your journal to DW should also save all the comments to your stories as well as the fic itself. I know that I love reading comments (on any and all fic), and sadly, AO3 doesn't seem to be a platform where people generally leave them. It's nice to preserve that bit of history, as well.

[drsquidlove]

Yeah, I like reading comments, too.

And that is one of the reasons why I'm so 'meh' about A03. Some lovely people leave awesome comments, but it doesn't seem to be the culture.

The kudos vs. comment culture at AO3 fascinates me. I was really struck by a conversation that showed up on my tumblr dashboard a few months ago, where someone had commented how they wished they could leave multiple kudos for their favorite stories on AO3-- they wanted a way to leave a new kudos every time they re-read a story. They then explained how they had been logging out and leaving a second kudos as Anonymous and lamented how that was the most they could do. And someone replied to them, "Why don't you leave a COMMENT instead, saying how you loved the story and wished you could give it a hundred kudos?" And the first person was like, "Wow, I never thought of that! What a good idea

[drsquidlove]

Wow. It's bizarre, but I can definitely believe it.

That makes me so sad. That person had missed out on so many chances to make conversations with people who wrote stuff they liked.

Will friend you over there (I'm sparrow2000 over there as well), but will be staying on LJ as long as most of my peeps are still here.

[drsquidlove]

Nice. See, all the best people have stayed here. It's why I've never cared about moving.

Unfortunately, it looks like the Sherlock fandom is moving. Seems like I might need to log-in to both platforms, in future.

[drsquidlove]

The breeding of different media accounts is getting out of hand. I hope Oz just keeps staying put.
