Your picks for everything fannish

Yay for getting lists ready! And yes, we hope people enjoy it since we'll be giving it a whirl on Tumblr for the first time.

Regarding joining the posts together, you are of course right that they'll be joined only on the Dreamwidth site when we import the LJ session. So if people prefer to post exclusively at LJ there's no problem with that as all. Plus comments should be possible here from anyone on LJ or vice versa. I know that at least one person did that last year.

However we'll be promoting the DW site as the primary archival site for two reasons. The first is because it's much easier to find content here, not just because the archive and tag searches are the same but because of the search box which brings entirely new opportunities for specific searches. The second is that when people deleted their content from LJ their posts vanished from the LJ side, including those they made at Top 5. But since we've been importing content since 2009 it should exist here even if it's gone there.

I expect to encourage people to browse items here in the closing post since it doesn't matter which site you use when it comes to looking for posts.

That said if people want to post in both places that's fine, just as it would be on Tumblr if they want to use the #buffyversetop5 tag (although I've noticed that not everything that gets tagged with something on Tumblr ends up showing up in the tag feed -- no idea why. So it would be better to submit links through an ask for reblogging).

Regarding stuff not coming over from LJ, we should be getting everything. I did another import just now in case I had missed doing so in January. The LJ post you cited is here: https://buffyversetop5.dreamwidth.org/778753.html

But please do let us know if you ever come across anything that can't be found here. That would mean there's some sort of import failure that we'd want to alert DW to.
