I've been a member of elftown for some time, in fact that's how I found WC, but I gave up on elftown a long time ago.
Elftown is a sad sad place to go, and despite the fact that WC has less people, it's MORE active than ET in the writing sphere. ET is pathetically inactive. Most of the writing contests are like ghost towns.
Also, it's so much easier to host a contest here on WC because of the writings system.
AND the people are a lot more friendly here at WC. I feel like a squash rolling on a busy street when I'm at ET, but on WC I can always look forward to a note here and there.
So pretty much, I'm just saying I love you all! Yay for WC!
