Out of interest, what are people's views on an individual having a separate personal community for their fic, vids and art?

I ask as someone who makes a lot of terribly rambly posts about all sorts of inconsequential nonsense, and I was therefore wondering whether people would like to be able to just get the stuff they're interested in without wading trough all the other stuff.

A while back, I did set aside a community name for myself, but then I was undecided about whether it was a good idea.

Thoughts? I know there's quite the split down my flist of people doing separate communities vs their own single LJ. As I say, just curious. :)




In other news, I have one more fic paragraph. Word count 300-ish. Hey, it's something. :)

I've been thinking about this as well, but as I rarely post anything other than vids and maybe a vid ramble I haven't thought it necessary.

I think the split can be handy for people who post a lot of maybe RL or non fannish stuff or say A LOT of icons, arts, fics etc. I've friended some individuals comms lately because I really only want to read their fics and not read their thoughts on the current economic climate etc. Though if I developed a "relationship" with that person I would friend both. :)

Yeah, good points. I guess that's really my problem. I post fannish stuff inbetween all the other crap I post normally. So, whether people want to sift through all of that...?

Sometimes I don't fiend other people for their fic etc. too because I don't then want them to be able to read all my frinds-locked posts. Whereas if they have a community, that's not an issue.

Hmm, all good food for thought. :)
