Onward and upward
Dec. 9th, 2018 11:21 amHey.
So, 3 weeks ago, my account on tumblr got deleted with no explanation. I have written in support tickets and have not heard back, not even with an explanation. Nor do I expect to hear back. And just after I'd finished finding the bulk of my work and reblogging them onto potofsoup2@tumblr, and was contemplating posting new work there -- the Great Fuckening happens.
So. It's been a fun few weeks. I guess the good news is that I had a head start on mourning the loss of my tumblrs. (I keep remembering new things that I was a sole owner of and therefore lost, haha).
Anyway, hello again, DW. I'm actually kind of excited -- the main reason I'd gone to tumblr had been that my friends stopped posting here. If people move back, plus new friends that I made on tumblr -- my flist might be pretty active again!
Here is what I plan to do:
- I'll be posting new art here, and to AO3.
- Everything I post here will be public. Taking a page from tumblr, I have different accounts rather than a carefully moderated access list. My personal life blog remains![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
summercomfort, but I'll be following and commenting as potofsoup. All the names carry over from tumblr, so you should know where to find me. :)
- I'm also very interested in figuring out ways to use DW comms as a way to share art, so I plan to crosspost art to![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
stuckyfandom and capfanart, with a link back to a post here for commenting.
- I know that DW favors hiding long posts behind cuts, but I'm going to push back on that a little bit: I'll be putting 1 image outside of the cut, and the rest behind.
- Since there's no reblogging, I'm going to try for periodic roundup posts of stuff that I find cool (AKA "gotta close all those tabs").
Making suggestions to DW:
Did you guys know that there's a![[site community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/comm_staff.png)
dw_suggestions? And that they'd previously discussed the possibility of adding reblog functionality?
Anyway, I plan to make some suggestion there once things settle down, and I hope others follow that community so that we can chime in when it's a feature that we're invested in! For example, I'd like to bring back the idea of reblogging, having a kudos feature, and some image handling suggestions. (foldered galleries might be nice, or putting AO3 on the list of hotlinkable sites for images < 1MB, or having the ability to buy more image hosting space.)
