are we looking at/for migration here from twitter? I would fucking LOVE that. I'm so baaaad at twitter, especially when I start thinking about using it for marketing and schmoozing. things I am bad at. I am also a lot more long winded than the average twitter tweet.

anyway, hi DW friends. I've been looking at the novella I wrote in Jan-Feb-March and realizing how much work it needs, but also that it needs to be a novel. And possibly first person POV, which I've never done before, but I keep seeing being done SO WELL in the books I read that I may just give it a chance.

to writers of books who are also writers of fic, do you separate your DW accounts? Rename them? I don't know what to do here. Nothing will be published for awhile still [shifty eyes] but i'd like to know what my choices are going forward.

also I signed up for a secret Santa and I have only written 126 words of it so far. [panicked face]

I hope people migrate from Twitter. I still can't navigate it easily and reading and just FINDINg thread fics is more difficult than the old days navigating around comment trees on LJ or here.

Ugh, tell me about it. Twitter is good for art? I guess?

I guess - except i see things better here or on Tumblr. Twitter just has always seemed waaayyy too public a space to do fannish stuff in. It always seemed better suited to brief punchy humor or to politics and news bites.

I understand why people left LJ after it was bought by a Russian company. But here's DW and it's as secure as anything is these days and built around a platform that's always been user friendly.

TL;DR: or maybe i'm just old and set in my ways!

Aww, but hopefully people will stop waiting for the next big thing and come here.

Ha, you and me both.

Good luck with your novella-turned-novel, and with the Secret Santa!

Thank you! <333

Yeah, I'd love more people around here. I've never understood Twitter in the first place.

Hm. I don't plan to separate or rename anything, not that I'm anywhere near publishing yet. I'm pretty much planning to imitate discontentedwinther/Lisa Henry as in having a fandom handle and a pen name and neither is tied to me IRL.

HI

It's always good to see you

Aww. 💜💜💜

(I'm always here.)

Hello!

I just missed this particular format of internet socializing so much I'm using this as and excuse to take another whack at it

Absolutely, and the perfect time for it.

Hi!

HI BB HI

I got a Twitter account when Twitter was new and a Tumblr account when Tumblr was new and a Pillowfort account when Pillowfort was new, but I've only ever felt "fandom comfortable" first on LJ and now on DW.

I like Tumblr enough but there's no real sense of community there.

I did try to interact on Tumblr, but as you say, it's not designed for in-depth community feels.

*cheerleads the writing*

Thank you! 1160 words this morning!

*high five*

That's fantastic.

Got about 2200 words yesterday total, but none yet today, woe.

*hugs*

*fingers crossed*

Good luck with your novella/novel! (I'm struggling with a WIP that needs a lot of work, too. *high five* We can do it!)
