LiveJournal update & potential move to AO3
Okay, has everyone seen this? From this post:
Rest assured, we are paying close attention to all of your feedback. Problems with actual functionality (inability to use the new form or aspects of it, slow load times, crashes, etc) have been reported and are being worked on. We're also aggregating all your feedback about the presentation and usability of the commenting form in the general sense, including items missing from the previous version, and the appropriate project teams are reviewing this feedback to help guide what further changes will be made. Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on the new commenting system.
Bold face was in the original text. I am keeping my fingers crossed, but am not holding out much hope.
So here's the thing. I am already posting all my stories on AO3. I am seriously considering making that my primary posting site, and only using LJ and DW as back-ups for people who are following me. So I'd post there, link back here with comments disabled, and leave it at that.
If I were to do that, would you guys still be interested in reading? Here, have a poll to make things easier:
[Poll #1804993]
For those who are interested, I am at AO3 under

Both DW and AO3 accept anon comments, if the account holder allows it, and DW accepts open ID; you can sign in as mdlaw.livejournal.com. Not sure about AO3.
(And, if you're interested, AO3 is allowing free account creation without an invite code until the end of the year. It really is very similar to LJ, but is remaining more user-friendly; they post news updates every couple of weeks and actually solicit their users' input before making major changes.)
