This was what I was dreading/thinking. How frustrating. It's definitely not a very mod-friendly platform for fests and comms, is it? As much as I think it's actually a better platform for general journaling. *sigh*
With so many leaving LJ this past year, I was hoping to get a larger base if we used DW, but so far it's really not done much of anything. That's partly on me, of course, as I didn't advertise it as I should have and it was a little last minute. The best thing about incorporating it for me is being able to host long fics in a single entry! It was so time-consuming to make multiple posts and add in all the links/coding, none of which could be done ahead of time as you had to wait for the urls! So that's a pretty awesome feature.
I appreciate the response. I'll definitely be interested to see what other mods are choosing to do/which platforms they're using/how they're running things as the fandom dynamics continue to shift.
