I'm out of the loop about these new places. I don't know neither SAD nor WofS.
What I love to "take with me" from SS to LJ/DW are the icons. I don't think we can post those at the archives (but I don't know). Otherwise there isn't much icon activity on LJ at all, let's not talk about BtVS. Even less so on my F-List but. maybe I'm missing things.
I'd like both LJ(/DW) and Elysian Fields but I fear using both for stories is too much work (double).
But maybe we could use LJ(/DW) for Polls, graphics etc. And an archive for the stories and the rest. I'm following elysianupdates so I won't miss the start of SS if it moves there. Other could too if they don't check EF itself.
I'm pretty sure all three archives now have sections for a/w (banners, icons, vids). I have been told by all of the archives that a/w shouldn't be a problem.
*nods* And people post all kinds of artwork on EF and SAD, including hand-drawn art, digital drawings, comics, manips and other stuff, in addition to what you said. I see the WotS art section is currently small but certainly includes icons.
I don't know if this makes any difference, but the West of the Storm art section is completely under the control of our admin FancyFlautist. They have full creative control of the look of the archive and determining what kind of artwork can be posted, and as per their decree, our image size is currently set to 3000 by 3000 pixels, with a possibility of a larger size if they feel it's needed. Old fogey that I am ( :P ), I couldn't imagine anyone needing more than 1,000 by 1,000, but Fancy is the one who knows this stuff better than I do.
Oh, certainly, I think 3000 px is plenty! I meant the art section is "small" in the sense that there's not much artwork posted there at the moment, so there isn't precedent for posting things like fanvids, for example. But I imagine it would all be doable. :)
