There is a new platform floating around, you might have heard about it. It's called Imzy and it's centred around communities and looks promising, IMHO.
Under the cut, the long winded explanations that have me think that in the future:
LJ or DW: stil my main place for interacting with friends I have had for a long time
Tumblr: look at the pretty
Imzy: community interactions on subjects/pairings/fandom/whatever. maaaaybe a bit of blogging in my own communities.
( cut because it got long )I have a shitload of Imzy invites (199 by communities), so I could ask for emails but that seems tedious for everyone with locked posts and all. So I'll just leave the links to my communities below, and if you are interested, request a membership on the page. I'll approve as fast as I can, and you can go explore once you register your own username.
Go either to
Adapt_Overcome or
Lou and fill in the form :) If you want to leave the community once you have your username, or decide it's not for you, it's not a problem at all.
Also, here are a couple of useful links to know more, and I see that
wenchpixie did something similar with much of the same links so I gather they are indeed useful :)
Emzy's FAQ post : as it says on the tin, basic info about what the site is and what it can do
An Emzy primer : what to do once you have your username, made easy
the basics, in pictures : to see what the platform looks like and the buttons/menus and what they do
