State of the Blog

[osteophage]

This blog has been completely blank up until now because I haven't quite figured out how I want to use this place. Long-term that's still true, but for the moment I've decided I might as well back up a few older posts here from PF.

Posted (highlights):

• How Using Tumblr is Undermining Your Community
• In Defense of the Pillowfort Reblog System
• Issues with Discord
• Thoughts on the Fanexus Application Form
• What is a Hitching Post?
• Tumblr Asks Are My Personal Hell
• (Dis)engagement: Questions to Ask Yourself

Posted (other): 

• Unshipper By Trade
• Quoi/WTF/Grey/Null/Questioning Narratives
• Attraction Fixation

Prospective:

• Roundup: posts tagged #ethics talk
• Roundup: posts tagged #thoughts on how to argue w people
• Roundup: posts tagged #category: crit club
• Roundup: links tagged #desert photography

Those of y'all who follow my PF blog, let me know if you have any suggestions for what to add.

As a shipper, I like your Unshipper by Trade post about how you don't like shipping.

Does that make sense? I really, really love seeing why you don't like it.

[osteophage]

lol, I guess it makes sense. I thought about doing that one, but it's also already-- Oh. Wait. It's not? I thought for sure I had put that one up on AO3 already... Definitely adding that one then.

Thank you!

I miss your "Quoi/WTF/Grey/Null/Questioning Narratives" post, the one that was quotes from survey participants.

[osteophage]

Oh, I wouldn't have thought of that one. Thank you for the suggestion.

Hello! I found you through meta_warehouse and decided I had to read more. Couldn't agree with you more about fandom on Discord, and I've recently drifted back here again because Tumblr does seem to have become a lonely experience. I did once have a small fandom community on there, where I actually knew people, but we've all drifted apart and now I don't seem to know anyone. That did not used to happen on LJ, even when changing fandom!

Hey there! I admit I'd been wondering, since I didn't recognize the username. Be advised, though, I don't post here very often -- I'm more active on Pillowfort, which there are a lot of invites for available here. If you're interested in that kind of commentary, you might be interested in WebDiscussions or MultiMeta. Nice to meet you regardless, of course.

Thanks! I tried Pillowfort when it was first launched but I couldn't seem to be able to get into it (I mean, for some reason it would not open on my computer. Which rather put me off :) ) I might try again just to see if it works this time. Thanks for the links! I do like to read a bit of good meta, and I was sad to see that metafandom over here is not very active. I'll check those out :)

[osteophage]

Hi there. I should probably make a new state of the blog post at some point, huh?

[smolwombat]

Ha.. ikr? Maybe I should too... lolol... :P
