This was really never meant to be a fic + recs blog, I swear. But as much as I mourned the loss of longform blogging, and as many Twitter/Tumblr rants I've been on, I suddenly find myself unsure what to write about in longer form. It's stressin' me out, y'all.

I enjoy recs. Don't feel bad about them.

As to posting, a lot of the time I default to the "3 things make a post" method of just writing down three random things and posting them. They don't have to be related.

[robocryptid]

The 3 things makes sense! I might have to consider that if I wanna commit to actual blogging. :)

You might notice that I post a lot of videogame clips, and this is basically me saying "me too." (¬ᴗ¬)

Lollll, yeah, the adjustment from Tumblr and other microblogging spaces is gonna be a steep one. Funny, because I thought I'd never get used to Tumblr after LiveJournal.

I was getting stressed, too! I really like posting linkspam and stuff like that, but I was SURE that people were tired of them. But! Turns out, there are lots of people who really LIKE linkspam, and wish there was MORE? Yes! And I feel the same about fics + recs! So don't worry about "having" to write a long post about something; just go with the flow, and if a topic comes up that you'd like to write about, THEN do the thing. :D

:D That's very good to know, thank you! You're right that nobody should "have to" write anything.

I feel ya. But hey, fic recs are good!

I've been out of longform a long time, so I'm kinda' unsure what to do with myself too. So much of the stuff I would post relies heavily on graphics, and having to host them elsewhere is just a lot of extra work.

[robocryptid]

Oooh, yeah, I hadn't even thought about the graphics issue. Yeah, I really... don't know what to write about. I go on so many Twitter rants and used to post obnoxiously long things (compared to Tumblr's average post length) so I don't know why the well has suddenly dried up!

We'll work it out though.
