you can probably see that i've deleted a lot of entries. i feel like i ramble and talk a lot, and honestly i really like how dreamwidth has different privacy levels. sometimes there are things that i don't want the world to see, and sometimes i want to talk to myself by marking my posts as private. it's really helpful for when i want to move all negativity away from others' reading pages. (occasionally i'll have an access-only rant, but always under a cut.)
so i was thinking about doing a little bit of housekeeping, especially when it comes to tagging. tagging is both a nightmare and a godsend, because here, tags are for the journal owner rather than the "algorithm" that places like tumblr depend on. you can't even get a single reblog there unless you want to pay for them to "blaze" your post, which is the dumbest thing honestly.
anyway, some plans that i have:
✦ staying on-topici will try to make my posts a bit longer, using cuts as needed, and i'll try to stay on-topic. i tend to get out of it sometimes when i talk, distracted usually, and sometimes i trail off and ramble about completely different topics in the middle of a post. i've always been that way, the type who talks a lot especially when nervous. so i'm going to try to do that and keep all posts on-topic to whatever the subject is.
✦ using a tagging systemtagging, as i said earlier. i will try to look through some of my subscriptions and see how others sort their tags for inspiration, since i think it would really help me develop my own organization system by seeing how others do it. tagging is a hassle sometimes, but it really helps keep my journals organized. i also like how nesting works on dreamwidth, and it's easier on the eyes (and the brain) whenever things are nested. sometimes i feel like i don't do it right, but whenever i do plan to tidy up everything i'll take a look at how others do it.
✦ cross-post fanworks to ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fleurseraphinethis is my writing journal/community that is semi-private as of right now, but i plan on moving my longer works over there. i'm not sure what i'll do about my drabbles, but i do plan on moving longer works such as my one shots over here, cross-posting from my
ao3 page. it will take a while for sure, but honestly, i have over 60 works on ao3 and it's a labor of love. as for my chaptered works, i'm not sure yet about that. i'll take a peek around other journals and communities, similarly for tags, and see what others do.
✦ consider my subscriptionsi want to subscribe to others so that way i can read through others' curiosities and thoughts. sometimes, though, i feel too shy to subscribe because i'm worried that i might be overstepping, or i'm not someone that a person may want subscribing to. i post solely about identity v, and as dreamwidth is pretty fandom old, i don't really see a lot of fans my age. thankfully i haven't had any run-ins with newgen antis. on that note, i want to try and comment more on others' entries. i get very shy, especially during the
snowflake_challenge, but i want to at least pop in and say that i read someone's post and acknowledge them. sadly, with autism comes a lot of social anxiety and difficulties, especially if there is nothing related to my hyperfixation. but this is something i'm planning to work on for the new year, the same goes with commenting more on fanfics (especially commenting).
i believe that summarizes my plans? don't be shocked if i add more to this over the course of the month.
