[Poll]: Where do we go from here?

[thefourthvine]

Okay, I've put this off long enough. (Hi, my name is TFV, and I'm totally change-phobic. I hold the regional title for hiding-head-in-sand, and am a certified expert in change denial. Need mentoring in the fine art of fearing change? I am here for you.)

Seems to me that, what with the ever-changing and quite confusing ToS on LJ, it's only reasonable for me to do something besides post all my content to LJ and just kind of hope I don't lose it. (Yes, I have backups, but not, at this time, a real offsite backup.) But, of course, I'm waffling on what I'm going to do. When in doubt, poll!

Also, every day I'm seeing deletions and departure notices, and I kind of want to figure out where everyone is going before you're all, you know, gone. I realize I'm too late to catch the first wave of LJ departures, so if any of you cross-post or do newsletter things or also journal on another service, I'd really appreciate a link. (This isn't just for people on my friends list, by the way. There are journals I read that I don't have friended, after all.) So, again, a poll seems like a good way to collect information.

I know people who don't have LJ accounts anymore - as in, deleted or suspended - can't actually take the poll. In that case, feel free to answer whichever questions you choose (including, ideally, the location of your journal-type content and your fanworks) in the comments. Anonymous commenting is on. If you can't do that, either, then feel free to email me. I want to know where you are!

It's probably getting really boring seeing polls like this all over your friends list. I'm sorry. But I don't want to lose my content or my community, so - well, I'd really appreciate it if you'd take mine. (If it makes you grouchy, there's an option in the poll to tell me to just quit LJing. Feel free to use it!)

I'm archiving at GreatestJournal under _minxy_, but there's something about mirroring all posts over there that doesn't appeal.

Thus, you (or anyone, really) will find my fanfiction and archive lists of recs for various characters or pairings. Eventually. I'm doing it in a really half-assed way, but that's my intention.

Interesting. I'm particularly curious to see what other recommenders are going to do, because I get the sense that journal-based recommending is coming to the end of its era, and the replacement I see on the horizon pretty much won't work for me, not with the kind of recommending I do. So you're just crossposting your fanwork and resources?

This makes sense.

Frankly, I'm still kind of hesitant about the whole crossposting thing, but - well, we'll see how it goes. *crosses fingers*
