nostalgia

 

Quotev is still around, but its pretty dead due to owners constantly changing it at one point. it was a site to write stories and such and I loved it. and most of us used it in conjunction with Polyvore.

polyvore was a site to create "sets" - collages of clothing items and such. most of us would make sets for our characters in our stories and add links to them in said stories. it was amazing to help visualize the characters and bring them to life. but in 2019, with no warning, the site was gone. they had sold it without warning us. they let us download our sets but we were left without a home. it was a vibrant community, we held contests and stuff and it was very interactive. the people that bought it just turned it into a selling site, no making sets whatsoever. I'm still sad and I miss it so much

everyone knows Google plus but if you don't, it was a social media site with communities and such. it was fun as fuck when I was on. I roleplayed on there as well as quotev and I made some good friends. it was my first social media home (I don't count quotev or pokyvore as social media really) and I loved it. by the time it shut down i had abandoned ship, as it had gown downhill quick. I miss it a lot, if I could bring it back I would because I loved the format of it. it was my perfect site. now I'm mostly on Instagram and I HATE instagram because of how shitty it is. I'd be the first person to go back on G+ or its copy. 

if anyone likes to write, try out quotev perhaps. its a cute site thats still up, and I really want it to stay up. it was the FIRST site I ever signed up for and I'd really be sad if it went down like G+ and polyvore.
