I understand why you want to move to AO3 but it's also super sad :(
I feel like Tumblr is a great website for people to constantly engage with a writer and I always try to express my love after someone posted (or even if they don't post) but it also intersects with people that don't do that and only ask for more (cuz that's pretty easy to do)
The way AO3 is built (especially with the fact that they don't have a great app) i feel like people don't engage with stuff as much as Tumblr allows.
But i understand your frustrations and will keep up with your writing when you switch to AO3 exclusively!
Yeah I just remember being so excited to write and post and then read comments when I was exclusively on Ao3, and I'd like to get that back. Idk if it's BECAUSE interacting with "creators" is easier on tumblr but I just never encountered the same entitlement and prodding there as I do on tumbo.
But the people who send me lovely messages and asks (like you! 💕) here are really what kept me going for so long, to be honest. Ever since writing white dove posting here has felt like a bit of a chore for me so thank you for making it bearable, it really means the world ❤️
