You know what, let's do this.

I know there's a decent percentage of Fandom Old Guard who are over here these days, but it can't be all of us. I want to know how useful a comparison it would be.

Like to numbers, reblog to sample size.

(By trope-specific i mean for example all the slash fics hosting websites, or the nsfw-only ones, etc)

Remember how LiveJournal let you have several icons (or avatars or "pfps" as you might call them now)? And you'd carefully choose an icon to fit the subject matter, your tone, and the blog on which you were commenting or posting?

And it could make your argument look that much snarkier if you used a rude one? Or you could use it to add a multiplier to a joke?

And icons, alongside banners and wallpapers, were a whole genre of fanwork with its own design language, conventions, and norms, including carefully crediting people for them?

That was neat.

In the AO3 Demographics Survey 2024 - an unofficial demographics survey of 16,131 AO3 users - the most popular write-ins for fandom websites or apps were Amino, Quotev and Fanfiktion.de.

To see more analysis, including discussion of how well these results relate to fandom as a whole, please view the full results on AO3.

in the end it’s me and my secret private blog with no followers where i act like pete wentz on his livejournal circa 2005 against the world

I know it’s generally in good fun when making jokes about how young fujoshi in the early 2000s-2010s talked about queer couples (i.e. “yuri couple, yaoi couple, i see no difference love is love” or “if you police people’s identities you are not yaoiful at all”) but if you look at it from the lens of acknowledging that this, for many of them, is their first time even realising being queer was an option, it’s a very interesting study in realising that this is an attempt at inclusion from the perspective of someone who may not have ever heard of things like gender identity or sexuality beyond “boy” and “girl”.

I really don't think these early poll results are going to reflect Tumblr demographics at large, but what the hell.

Hey, you! Do you remember LiveJournal? Remember all the fun you had there? Remember all the cool fics and communities and stuff?

Dreamwidth is basically LiveJournal but better!

Yes, LJ was more work than Tumblr is! Yes, it was harder to share images! But damned if it wasn't still a helluva lot of fun, and I miss it dearly!

We can still have that kind of fun on Dreamwidth!

Join me, everyone, and together we can rebuild better than we ever had it at LJ!
