yes, I'm still fannishliss.

AO3 just seems so much more serious and public than LJ. It's my little stories' FOREVER HOME. O_O

I don't really expect anyone to read them. BUT THEY MIGHT. O_O

You know, I'm a fan of being able to post any fandom/pairing/rating/crazy kink I like all in one place over there, but AO3 still strikes me as a strange creature as far as archives go, because there's so much variation. It's pretty much the home of certain fandoms' fics, but some other fandoms (even the really popular ones) have very low posting and readership levels there. So you can rarely predict exactly how fics will be received, especially if you're new to posting there. The best thing is to just take a deep breath and roll with it. :)

deep breath, yes. :)

I smell the winds of change! This probably means I'll have to work up the gumption to actually use my account over there too at some point, huh. XP LET ME KNOW HOW IT GOES. Congrats on your first foray!

winds of change, blah. But it is fun to dl stories to read on the kindle.

so far the first post was very easy. :)

Hey sugar, I've subscribed to you over there, am MomentaryGrace. I spent a lot of time over there when more heavily into my Avengers (movie) fandom reading. I got frustrated with the server issues but hopefully they've solved some of those.

Congrats on your new venue!

thanks very much!

I gather that AO3 is snowballing right now and trying to accommodate increased demand incrementally. I guess I'll start giving them a little money soon. :)
