eta: fixed, for lo, I am stupid.

In other dw news, I can't wait until they get that queue thing set up. I have written about 20 posts; they're all discussions; I'd like to post them. Why don't I just, you ask? I don't know. I get angsty about them, not because they're contentious discussions (they're really not!). I don't know why. I'd rather them go up without me having to think about it. Maybe it's because then I won't worry about replies (that is, whether anyone cares, not whether anyone will wank), and I won't feel like I have to be feelin' it right then to post, and I won't worry about how it will be an isolated thing in the bigger context of what I have to say. These are ridiculous things to worry about, but I don't worry about worrying about them. I worry about worse things and then worry about worrying about those instead.

Oh, hey, I am reminded: would you mind adding links on the DW side to your mirror posts on LJ? I often want to pop over to read the comments. There's a checkbox somewhere in Account Settings that'll automate it.

I think I know what you mean about angsting over the posting of meta. I've got a couple I've been sitting on, too, for no good reason. Eh.

ha, I did that when I reset my cross-posting, so now it should go. Originally I wasn't doing that because I really would prefer my main journal to be dw, but it's true that most of the responding occurs over on lj. And here on dw I'll do what you do; that is read it here and then go to lj to read the comments, and then I end up replying at lj instead. Harumph. I still think all the mirror mess is worth it, though.

Some of it is pure navel gazing, stuff about me, some of it's discussion of fiction or archetype; NONE of it is angst worthy. I think I very much feel I have to say things that will impress the whole room, but somehow if I don't have to see/hear myself saying things, I can say three very dull things indeed and be very happy about it. (See what I did there?)

The only way to get people commenting on DW is to disable comments on LJ. I'm pretty sure some people take it as snobbery (idek), or like I'm UNFAIRLY ASKING THEM TO LEAVE THEIR COMFORT ZONE or something, but really I just like it when I have all my commenters yakking in in one place, so they can yak at each other as well as me, as I waft benevolently by, with canapés. I'm totally happy to have my posts available to read on LJ. I might have a few fewer commenters than I did in the olden days, but part of that's just the Buffy crowd growing bored with me and moving on. rahirah, otoh, disabled LJ comments, and her DW is downright noisy.

I see what you did there! I also see that you got over your angst, this afternoon. *trots off*

lol, well, I'm good with posting thoughts when I have them in the moment. Though actually I promised myself I could write that post and post it if I finished writing the fic.

Barb's dw might be noisy, but . . . it's not as noisy as it was when she was just on lj, from what I can tell. That makes me sad. I mean, I met my_daroga through noise on Barb's journal. I do like yakking in one place, but since it doesn't happen here . . . oh well.

While "leaving your comfort zone" thing is a little ridiculous, I'm far less likely to comment if I have to click over somewhere else. I think that's utterly ridiculous, but it's true.
