I don't understand why people post fic on Tumblr.

Wait, people post fic on Tumblr? Isn't Tumblr for pics?

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Exactly! No proper cut-tags, no comments... *headshake* *getoffmylawn*

[china_shop]

So... But... WHAT?!

*deep and weary sigh*

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

This, right here. Yes. I succumbed to pressure and got one, but then I realised there is *nothing* I can actually *do* with it. I'm just using it as a catalogue for other people's tumblrs I'm vaguely interested in.

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I'm using it for. My dash is basically an aggregator of pictures of James McAvoy.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Mine is basically Texts from Last Night. Or should I say, from Xavier Mansion, from Asgard...

misuse of the word 'decimate'.
There are so many reasons we're friends.

Also I just noticed your icon and AHHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA.

I will still be fighting on that beach when everyone else is... somewhere a long way away from the beach.

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

I will also be on that beach.

The point where they misused it in either XMFC or Captain America (which was it again?), and all four of us tried to rise from our seats to kill them with our brains is totally one of my favourite memories.

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Cap, I think. It would have interfered with my blissful submersion into the XMFC gay and I'd probably remember that.

[shihadchick.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought about it more and I also think it was Cap.

Repressed emotions are a delightful thing <3.

Misuse of decimate! YES. THE MEANING IS RIGHT THERE.

Re Tumblr - people also seem to post fic on Deviant Art, and I find that similarly confusing.

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I find the way it comes up in searches on DA really weird. Big square o' text with no information - how do I know whether I want to read it? Post fic on something that's actually designed for text, people!

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

how do I know whether I want to read it?

Eheh. I must say that has not yet been an issue, even based on the wee square-o-text ;).

TBH, I assume it's posting for the audience already following. But still. LOOKS SO AWKWARD.

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

I generally conclude that I don't want to read it unless I've run out of fic on less confusing sites, tbh!

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Also chiming in on the fic on tumblr thing. WHY DO THEY DO IT. (There are rudimentary cut tags but they're not very reliable and no comment feature, what?)

[the_antichris.livejournal.com]

Rudimentary cut tags that NO ONE ever uses. >:( (I just took someone off my dash because she kept posting epic boring screeds without them.)
