grayestofghostsBack on the hellsite that is Twitter I saw a discussion about "why don't we go back to LiveJournal," and after all the notes about how LJ has been destroyed even if it's technically still online and how you'd really better go to DW instead, I offered to follow anyone if they posted links to their journals and directed people to mine. As of now, I have seen zero interest.
I find it a bit disappointing, to be honest. They keep saying they want to do something different and then they don't seem to even try. One of the major issues on DW is that there aren't a lot of people here, but wouldn't that be helped by, well, making an account? Following a few journals, making a few posts? I don't know. I know I'm not on here a ton but I do appreciate what I'm trying to do and try to do more of it.
Anyway, given my comments on Ao3 a couple posts ago, I figured that because I actually am keeping up with a fic now I should push it. I've been reading Cold Skins and Warm Blood by Unfried_Mouth_Wheat which is a mashup of Dracula and Frankenstein as mentioned on Tumblr a while ago. It's not the direction that I would have gone, which I only feel the need to mention because I have Opinions on Frankenstein, but I'm invested. It says it's updated on Fridays and has been updated pretty consistently, and is noted right now at 19/35 chapters, so the author may already have the whole fic written, which is good news if you're tired of getting burned on abandoned fic.
