The effects of kudos

[branchandroot]

Let the record show that, when I link a fic-offering from LJ to my DW, I get no feedback at all. When I link a similar fic-offering from LJ to AO3, I get 3 kudos out of 21 hits. That's a bit over average response rates, normally I get around 1 in 10.

So, my take on a Ticky/Kudo/I-Read-This button on DW posts? Go for it!

So, if I get this right, you want a post on LJ to appear saying "there's something over on DW", but not the actual something? I don't know what the reply links are for, though.

Sorry, if this isn't something you want troubleshooted I'll back off. You seem to have a system that works for you.

*wry* Oh, no worries, god knows I'm probably making this more complicated than I need to. (Perhaps a visual aid would be useful: lysapadin; lysapadin.)

Basically I treat the LJ account like a feed, with the entries giving header information and then a link to the actual entry on DW. And, because I'll take fic feedback any way I can get it (and LJ-only people are remarkably resistant to OpenID), I edit the DW entry to include a link back to the LJ mirror with the quick-reply box open (the ?mode=reply appended to the URL) plus the OpenID FAQ.

Looking at the settings for the crosspost footer, it looks like there's not a way to format the DW site footer to look tidy, so I'm guessing that my crosspost-edit-edit dance is probably what I'm looking for, for the time being.

Aha, I see. Yeah, it looks like you have very specific needs in mind, that basic site functionality won't cover.

*grins* Because hell, being simple would be boring. Or something.

But I do appreciate the trouble-shooting, anyway. God, I love DW's culture.
