Minor nitpick: Looking at the questions tagged science-fiction (or fantasy for that matter) on M&TV doesn't really give a good overview of the actual overlap, since those tags aren't used there like you might think they are.

Same questions keep being asked on both sites (with no VTC as Dupe option), resulting in either one site having extremely sub-optimal bad quality answers, or someone having to basically copy/paste the answer from one site to another (at this point, this happens bi-directionally, but with a just-starting site, the new smaller site is more likely to be a "victim" of this problem). Another example is, not every user has free time to monitor both sites and put in an effort on both (there are a very small handful of exceptions among active users). Users are a finite resource | |

| Dec 9, 2016 at 14:24 | comment | added | Rand al'Thor | One difference between SFF/M&TV overlap and SFF/Lit overlap is that M&TV isn't much younger than SFF. When Lit is very new and just coming into existence, people will be much more likely to post on SFF instead because it's way bigger and they'll expect to get a better answer quicker. (I will of course attempt to lessen this effect by driving traffic to Lit from SFF, and hopefully so will other prominent SFF users. SFF is big enough that "too few questions" is never going to be a problem, so I'll have no qualms about encouraging people to post sci-fi book questions to Lit - it won't harm SFF.) | |
