I'm gonna be using Tumblr, mainly because I already had a Tumblr account that had been gathering dust.
Which requires a code to use; I have several unused codes, if anyone is interested.
Sorry, it's just that I hadn't heard it before.
. . . as it's in journal format, like LiveJournal, but it's useful for people like me who aren't skilled enough to actually code an actual website.

I have a fanfiction.net account, but it's going unused at the moment. As far as PPC stories are concerned, I have no clue where I should post them yet. I guess I could post the links in a "hub journal" on dA...or make a Tumblr...
Easy to manage, easier to edit, and comes free with all Gmail accounts. Just make sure to set the final product to "view only" to prevent vandalism.
In the beginning I used my Livejournal, but then I wanted a place strictly for PPC-stuff and made a Wordpress-acount. Then I found that I liked Wordpress better and made another account for all my other stuff.
AO3 for fanfiction. LJ for PPC.
I don't use Tumblr the whole nested commenting/reposted thing makes it hard for me read anything on it. (I'm going to play the old card on this one). I write in Gdocs, but always think the stories look like works in progress instead of polished ready to read stories.
Google Drive because they're already there for beta-reading, plus LiveJournal. LJ is usually delayed a day or so because I have to edit in all the formatting codes.
Fanfiction.net, despite being The Pit Of Voles, is actually the best place to get fanfictions to have a good visibility.
However, to avoid troubles, for missions a blog or something like that is preferred. I use Wordpress, but that's mainly because I already had an account on it. I don't exactly like a good chunk of the limitations it imposes to free users, but it's more than enough for missions anyways.
A good rule of thumb is: don't post the mission on the same site that hosts the fic being sporked. That's asking for trouble.
I also have an ancient WordPress account, but never use it. DA has a very good ability to host different varieties of content, and since a lot of what I work on has visual components I need to be able to upload images as well as text.
