Just tried FN
7 years ago
I have had a FN account for quite some time now and thought I might give it a try to start posting my work.
As a creator, it quickly drove me crazy. The design is simple enough, however, I do not like how they change the formatting of the description when you post it. Plus, when you post a journal, they require a Title, Description (What they call "Teaser"), and journal text. The description part should be interpreted from the Title and shouldn't be needed. The tag system is alright, but needs a lot of work. You can't have a thumbnail on a story, I think it is important to allow thumbnails on stories as a way to provide a warning of some of the content contained in the story.
That is just a sample of what I don't like about it. Maybe, in the future, when they changes things around, I'll try again. For now, I'll stick with FA, IB, and AO3. I might start posting on SoFurry, but not really sure yet.
