Regarding using Tumblr for novels, let me clarify what's probably meant by that, because it's not inherently obvious.

Tumblr's archive system is not like Blogger's. Tumblr does not automatically have the little gadget at the side giving an archie with all the dates and stuff. In fact, quite frankly, I rather dislike Tumblr's archive system. So when people use Tumblr for their Fear stories, they tend to follow the example I set with Rapture: Dashboard -> Settings -> Customize blog -> Add Page -> Call it something like "Table of Contents" -> Manually add every post yourself. This way, you can customize it to look exactly how you want it, and plus since it's on Tumblr if you use the right Theme you can get your blog to look as un-cluttered as possible, which is something Blogger doesn't offer so easily! I mean, Blogger does have the Dynamic themes which I freaking adore, but those have been seeeeriously glitching up lately. Or maybe that's just on my end.

Manually adding posts to your table of contents is more effort than automatically saving them to an archive, but the presentation is so worth it. There's a bonus in there if you happen to like organizing things, like I do.
