Lydia agrees with me: there are limits to what Tumblr is good for.

I like Tumblr to the extent that it's a venue for completely ephemeral interaction that consists of showing each other gifs and having feels about them. But some people post fic to it, apparently, which I find alternately puzzling and grumpy-making. And yet, I have enjoyed some of that fic! And yet I refuse to reblog it because no. So I shall now perform the Doing It Wrong performance art piece that is Reccing Tumblr Fic on Dreamwidth/LiveJournal:

Now You're Standing in a Big Disaster by gyzym. Derek is doomed, and Stiles doesn't intend to have any regrets when he's gone.

[Untitled] by saucefactory. In which Dr. Deaton helps Stiles even the playing field.

In Which Derek Has a Nice Month and Gets Thoroughly Freaked Out By It by jebiwonkenobi. What it says on the tin, with bonus excellent Stiles. ♥

[Untitled Kidfic] by nightrevelations. In which Derek's niece needs Stiles-cuddles.

I do love seeing and sharing fanart!

But that sort of begs the question, doesn't it--why do we feel okay reblogging fanart but not fic? Ugh, Tumblr.

I know! I wouldn't repost fanart in my journal, so what gives, right?

I guess the fic thing really is a knee-jerk reaction. If it's posted on tumblr by the author, then it's clearly okay to reblog it. I don't see any reason it should be different for different kinds of fanwork.

Still though. AO3! We have an archive! And it's awesome! Fic should go on the archive!

(BTW - I get all sadface when I have to read fic on LJ now. AO3 has ruined us.)

INORITE. I can't leave kudos! I can't BOOKMARK. HOW WILL I EVER FIND THIS AGAIN?
