Yeah, for me it's the other way around - I get a lot more responses on DW than on LJ (although these days by 'a lot more' I mean 5 comments on DW vs 1 on LJ). Also, I find DW to the the more stable platform and have other reasons as well why I prefer it as well.
But I have thought about having the fest on LJ as well, since Buffyverse folks on LJ seem terribly hostile towards change, and in my experience often refuse to even consider participating on other platforms - I've seen people complain about how there isn't any [insert pairing here] fic written anymore, and then when I've recced stories on AO3, they've have told me that they only read fic on LJ. And I just don't see the point of it. Where fandom goes, I go.
(or at least try to go - my dalliance with Tumblr lasted bit over a year before I grew bored :D)
