Posting what we write on websites dedicated to writing seems obvious, but do you post your fic on websites that are not dedicated to writing, like social medias? Or do you keep the full fic on its fic site but still post about it elsewhere?
I personally have trouble posting about my writing, it always feels like it’s not the right place for that. Like all the people interested in reading fanfic are already checking fanfic sites and it would just be annoying to most users of other sites to see posts about it. And while I’m sure part of it is just personal history with social medias, I’m unsure how much of it has basis in reality, because it’s true that I almost never see fanfic-related posts where I lurk.
What’s your opinion on that?
(Don’t worry, so far it’s just one (1) idiot anon on AO3 posting on one (1) fic, I deleted the comment, they didn’t insist, I doubt it’ll go farther. But I’ll stay vigilant =) )
I’m not even on Kbin, I’m on Lemmy, and we don’t have the microblogging thing here so it doesn’t federate given we have no way to display it (and thus I can’t post that kind of thing either). I was confused about the voting culture on Reddit but honestly here with the fact that the votes do NOT federate in the same way on every instance I’m not even bothering to think about it, I consider it’s just a broken feature and the only thing it can do is prove at least one person saw a message and absolutely nothing else x’) I’ll keep your offer in mind if a clearer question than a vague “wtf am I doing” comes to me, thank you ♥
(ah! good to know it hasn’t snowballed into anything more!)
Whoops! Sorry for the assumption. Another thing I love about these federations that other places don’t have- the ability to talk to others on entirely different sites!
