Hi! I found this on a strike of lucky FL checking.
On art hosting places and limits and it all being free, and, if you are like me, as accepting of mature content as possible, my current solution has been to accept Paraka@DW's most generous offer. She very nicely checked in with her providers to make sure that kinky content was allowed, and so far I haven't had any problem with any of my pictures. Since getting that space, pretty much every fanart I've posted on My AO3 is hosted there to make sure it's a more stable list than things posted on my journals (which are hosted on photobucket, or imageshack, or tinypic, or even livejournal scrapbook, depending on how many of them delete the picture within the first days and I got to re-host somewhere else).
Multiple accounts updating is a pain! Having a masterlist helped me get rid of some of the stress related to being afraid of forgetting one place or another. Nowadays it often goes Tumblr -> Post it on a comm or journal on DW / automatic x-post to LJ -> weeks later on AO3 -> months or years later on DA. *coughs* It's not very... optimal. I'd love to be able to host directly on AO3 and go "AO3 -> link on DW/auto-LJ-> DA/easy click tumblr" or something like that. I've never tried the DA-to-tumblr share button though - have you? What are the other places you post to?
(To add my own cent to the discussion above, I've seen that BNF status can most certainly be archived by fans specialising or not in any type of fanworks. LJ as a platform, and TV-show based fandoms are just not often as big on the fanart/fanvids/others are others, but for any fandoms with a larger non-fic presence or any website more focused on art, BNF name calling has always and will probably still always happened - even if by any other name. Pointing and calling anyone that is not an positive behaviour in fandoms though, I'd say, and I'm real glad it hasn't really crept into our corner.)
