I'M HERE TO BE SUPPORTIVE AND NOT KICK OVER COFFEE MUGS. Ò◇Ó
If you are a major content writer, be it characters, stories, plots, or just writing a journal get an offsite blog. It will be the best thing you ever did.
No matter what roleplay site you go to, your content is not going to stay there forever. Content gets deleted, addons get unfunded, sites even get shut down. You NEVER know what is going to happen to your favorite site, even if it's ran by super awesome people.
After I accidentally deleted the databases of more than one roleplay community (including Iwaku -coughcough-), I started my own personal blog to store all of my roleplay stuff. O_O I have a domain I pay for, but there are A FUCKTON of free options out there. My personal favorite is
Wordpress.com because you can import this content if you ever decide to get your own domain. It also has privacy controls, categories, and lots of organization options. (
@ObsidianNyx you sound like someone who writes a ton and needs a serious blog option! Give wordpress a shot! It IS free!)
Another great thing about hosting your personal content on your own site is that you can link it ANYWHERE. So if you ever decide to leave Iwaku, or if you love hanging out on multiple roleplay sites, you can easily share this content between all the sites.
I personally love the fact that it's
mine and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it without having to follow the rules of someone else's website. >:D All the porn I want. I know it sucks not getting to keep stuff tidy on Iwaku, but honestly, you are limited by Iwaku's Content Policies, even for personal journal entries. Iwaku's rules are VERY open and lax, but there's still rules required to keep the site safe and I just like having the freedom to do what I want with my writing.
