Today is the day I scream about social media start-ups on tumblr, apparently. Linking rather than crossposting, because I'm pretty sure my auto-crossposter would pull in the whole reblog chain and that's obnoxious.

My response to WritScrib, the newest attempt at a tumblr alternative (tl;dr - DW has 90% of the features already, would not implement 5% of them because they're bad ideas, and it would be far, far easier to add the extra 5% than reinventing the fucking wheel).

My additions to a conversation about fandom culture and history on social media and why you should use DW.

Basically I just want to shake people and scream 'DREAMWIDTH IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE OKAY'

(and now I'm going to try to calm down and go back to watching Nirvana in Fire and sewing)

It's /dreadfully/ addictive. And you're just coming up on the first "wrench your heart out and stomp on it". Well, the first big one, your heart is pretty heavily stomped by then anyway, if you spend any time watching the subtle expressions in how Lin Shu looks at Jingyan or, well, /any/ moment between Lin Shu and Nihuang. But the first stomping with hobnail boots. On the other hand, the first big Magnificent Bastard moment, too!

Yeah, I knew like two episodes in that this was gonna wreck me, but I accept that as the price I pay for satisfying my h/c and loyalty kinks. And yes, Shu has so many beautiful subtle expressions, both sorrowful and joyful.
