rynlingI don't think Tumblr is dying or anything, but the site's bungled implementation of its adult content ban scared the hell out of me. I write most of my posts in Word documents before I cut and paste the text onto Tumblr, but I've done all of the subsequent editing on the Tumblr posts, not the original documents, and I'd prefer not to lose my work. The online harassment I've experienced has dimmed my enthusiasm for writing longposts and answering asks, so I haven't really written anything more than a shitpost since 2017, but I'd like to archive all my old meta on AO3.
I'm not sure how this will work. Like, should I have a "story" be a meta topic, and then each "chapter" be a single post? If so, do I post these "chapters" in chronological order, or should I try to edit them into a more cohesive argument? What should I do if I'm responding to a chain of other people's posts, or if the most interesting thing about my post is someone else's response to it? Should I include images; and, if so, where will I host them?
Anyway, I'll figure this out over the summer. I'm planning a trip to London in May that isn't so much a vacation as it is a writing retreat, and I'll probably get started then.
