Askbox

[razielim]

One thing I always feel DW is missing is an askbox. And I remembered earlier today that there theoretically is a way that I've heard about to get "anons" and "asks" by pinning a post with approval-only comments. Which had me excited, thoroughly, right up until I realized I wouldn't really know what to really DO with that if I set it up. DW isn't very fannish in the grand scheme of things.

(I'm alive!)

Like, there are certain very active pockets on here and I'm always impressed by them, but a lot of it is also tied to AO3 and transformative fandom, not so much curative fandom or simple discussion for a lot of things. (And also very specific fandoms- I'd love more general video game discussion, etc. but if it's there, it's ??? hiding.)

Walking away from AO3 also kind of puts me in a weird spot, since so many multifandom events are run here but posting is there.

You know, I put a lot of weight on the importance of transformative fandom, but an injection of more curative content around here would also go such a long way of rounding out the experience here. DW is very much my preferred place to hang up all of my long LoK rants/essays, and for good reason. It's a good place for that sort of thing!

(Also that icon is hilarious hhhhh.)
