I've had the direct opposite experience as some of the people here, where tagging around is encouraged, and while some people do spice up their replies, it's not expected. But I'm also from a smaller, more obscure fandom that doesn't exist here on DW. At most, I put in icons on my post. And not even that all the time.

It's prose-based, so there's that, too.

OOCly, I've made friends, and they haven't been any more clingy than people here on DW and there's many doubles in my fandom.
