I agree with this, but a lot of people don't draw, so another option would be for them to post a link to something they've found and liked, but didn't want to put in a post of its own, so they could pair it with their information.
Oh yeah, post an image from a comic book panel, or from a deviant art account that you liked, or a screen cap from a cartoon/movie. I'm leery of youtube vids, because they can be taken down at any time.
But the page looks busy, instead of this vast space around a twee image. Or paste images (if drawing is your bent) that are largish, or about a clutch of 'em.
I, personally, hardly ever post fic on either of my journals, just because I'm too lazy and that requires concentration (that and I have no idea how to link TO my journal and make it all pretty, sooo...) But yeah, I like the idea of having it posted up on here. The fics/pics are easier to find, and they avoid that pesky journal deletion issue, too.
Motto. All my fics are posted here, because a part of the comm is to contribute stuff into the space. But I can understand writers wanting stuff in their journals, because getting comments in the inbox is a boost. But if that's a concern, they could just post in both their journals and in the comm and say, "Please to be making comments on my journal." I'd just comment in both.
Oh hai mate!
