I am good with dreamwidth or Ao3, but I am on both of them, soooo...

I prefer option 2 as well and also would prefer a longer writing period as I always run out of time with these. ;)

I'm happy with any of the options (though I agree it would be safest not to have Holmestice on LJ any more).

And I have no strenuous objections to the shortened schedule ^^ My fics are generally short anyway, and don't need as much time to write.

I think moving the comm's home base to DW makes the most sense, regardless of where the next round fics are posted. Even if option 3 or 4 is chosen (which I don't anticipate they will be, based on past discussions), I think LJ has just become too problematic for hosting fics. Perhaps just use it for links to the fics?

My vote is always going to be to post fic on AO3 (or give writers the option to post only there), but I recognise this is very much the minority opinion.
