Where should I post?

[alisanne]

Now that I have upgraded my DW account and can post simultaneously to DW, IJ and LJ, I'm interested to know what you think, Flist.
Should I start xposting everything from DW (Fics, drabbles, polls, etc.) or should I continue what I am currently doing, which is posting mainly on IJ and xposting links to other journals?
Would you come here (DW) to read and comment or is one more click too annoying to bear?
Does anyone else know what they plan to do?

*sigh*
Why is life so complicated? lol.

Comments

I've been mostly crossposting already but left commenting on at the other sites. The only hassle is changing my icons on LJ since I have so few on DW (does not have a paid account yet) but otherwise it's pretty hands off and isn't doing much you weren't likely manually doing before.

*hugs*

Yeh...
I think my default position will be posting primarily to IJ then using DW's handy dandy simultaneous xposting ability to link back from DW and LJ. :)
I thought about importing icons here, but I have insane userpics on IJ, too many to move. :(

I've been crossposting almost everything. I comment on IJ or Dreamwidth if at all possible. What few comments I get, though, are on LJ. I greatly dislike LJ, especially because they force me to watch a multimedia ad every time I go there, which is annoying with limited bandwidth. The only reason I still post/read there is because some flisters do not go off LJ at all.

If you use Firefox, you can install the Adblock add-on, which disables all of those ads. It's very handy and should save your bandwidth.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Yes, I, too, wish that people would leave LJ and be done. Sadly, some people seem entrenched, although LJ does seem to be doing its best to piss off those last few holdouts. :)

My default plan is going to be posting primarily at IJ then using DW to simultaneously link back from DW ad LJ.
We'll see how that goes.

heya!

i think schemingreader crossposts her entries from dw to lj but has disabled comments. that way lj-users can read her entries and comment on dw if they wish to do so.

i think it's a good option because it might increase the possibility that some lj users come over to dw that way ...

I'm not sure it will work for me since, in my experience, people are lazy (myself included) and won't do anything extra if it inconveniences them. I prolly will allow ppl to comment wherever, but will post primarily at IJ and link back from DW and LJ using that lovely DW xposting thingy. :)

I'm here already. And I check DW more than IJ and only go to LJ for Bleach fic. Do what's easiest for you. That's what I do. But I'm probably more self centered than you are. :)

*g*
I dunno, I think we're all pretty self-centered when it comes to, well, ourselves. ;)
I think I'll stick with posting primarily to IJ and then linking back from DW and LJ.
Maybe one day people will abandon LJ entirely. *crosses fingers*
