Master post?

Feb 03, 2022 14:22

Eons ago, LJ ate my master fic post and I just shrugged and moved on--AO3, right? But now I'm thinking that I'm going to recreate it, since folks that didn't grow with LJ generally have no fucking idea how to navigate the site. I notice quite a few rec posts on twitter and I'm thrilled that they're reccing stories found on LJ. I've found things I' ( Read more... )

Argh! Do you have a copy? My advice is to back up something that big. If you don't, looks like you have a winter project to keep you busy! ;)

Heeeeeeeee!
I dunno if mine is totally up to date or not. I *do* know that my master LJ fic post helped me find some of my old stuff that wasn't anywhere but like - one old community - so that I could repost on AO3.

I adore AO3, because it is so very readable for me and my sad, tired eyes.

But I'm totally on board with having up-to-date LJ and DW master posts, too.

Pr0n - for the children!!!
:D

For the children. Oh man, you give and you give : P

LJ is a miserable place for a newby to try and navigate. I remember when I first found LJ. Thank god for miracles rec's they got me to everywhere I needed to be. You should include your awesome recs too!

Speaking of. I should update my list.

OH! One thought, your master post might not be lost, you may have unpinned it, so it's way back whenever you first made it in your journal.

*bows* I do my best.

:D :D :D

It is. Looking at it from outside LJ I can see that yeah, it's horrible to navigate. We all need to fix and update. Too much good fic is being lost. I'm finding stories through other folk's recs I've never seen before!

Ah, that's a thought! I was pretty sure it got eaten, but I'll take a look! (and cross my fingers!)
