I'm not sure anyone cares one way or the other, but I seek your opinion. If you read my fic, would you have any objection to me not posting the actual story here, but a link to the chapter on AO3 instead? Back in the day, having it on LJ made sense for the conversations in the comments, but since those days are long gone, I was thinking it would be simpler to not have to post links to chapters and the story, and the parts, and update them both on LJ and DW. I would probably continue to post short things here, but the multi-chapter stories, just on AO3.

ETA: Since I apparently wasn't clear, just clarifying that I'm referring to my own DW/LJ/AO3 - places where I post. It's my own journals that interaction has faded on. I wasn't commenting on anyone else's experience. I accept total responsibility that I'm old and boring and haven't kept up with the times to sustain my readers' interests :)

data point: conversations in comments among my readers and writers on Dreamwidth is alive and well; maybe we are an anachronism.

IMHO posting a link to the archive is fine, but conversations are definitely still happening at least among my reading list.

Post the chapter to AO3 and just link them here.
Is totally fine.^^

I've edited the post to clarify I was referring to my own journals. No one elses.

I post links to my work as well. As it happens, I've wound up doing most of my writing in a fandom not shared by the majority of the people in my circle, so it makes better sense to post a link in my journal and one in a story comm for my fandom. Works out very well for me.

Thanks for the input. Seems a lot are going in that direction.
