I spent years trying to adapt my poor, easily-confused braincell to the way Tumblr works, and the speed at which it works. Now I'm having to remind it how a Livejournal fork works, having left that learning curve behind several years ago. I think I'm getting the hang of it again. Dreamwidth is doing very confusing things to my image uploads, though. I may have to adapt my brain back to the world of text-only! I'll miss the easily-inserted reaction gifs of Tumblr, and the tag-talk.

I never did post much fanfic on Dreamwidth, LJ, Journalfen, etc, though it's a nice enough platform for reading it. I've pretty much gone from hosting my own fanfic website/s to using AO3. Once Upon a Time turned out to be a watershed fandom for me in a bunch of ways, not the least of them technological. I feel at a bit of a loss now, even though I won't miss the awkward Tumblr interface, or the pace of content there.

Nothing much here will be filtered, I suspect. I may create a posting filter for Nym's Breasts - short story is that I'm on the waiting list for a double mastectomy, having both a high risk of cancer and uncomfortably large boobs. Not everyone wants to read about my boobs or the details of surgery, so a filter will come in handy! Other than that, I don't have the attention span to use filtered posting effectively. If I ever post anything nsfw, I'll mark the post as such with the age-restriction thingy. My Tumblr was pretty tame, though, give or take the odd swear - it's my fanfic where the smut tends to happen.

A link to this DW tips post just popped up on my friends list? reading list? stream? whatever it's called. There might be some things that are useful to you covered in it.

ETA: Heh, I did the link properly! It's been so long since I had to do that manually!
