Reminiscences of fics past (and future)
I've finally started to archive my fics on AO3, and I'm loving how easy and fast it is. It's been interesting reading through stories I've not looked at for years, and it's been rather sobering looking at the dates and realising that I wrote so many of them 8-10 years ago, and even those I think of as being relatively recent are 4, 5, 6 years old

Yes, that function of AO3 appeals to me too. I don't have an e-reader - it's something I've been dithering about for ages but the thought of paying for a device on which I had to pay to read books seemed a poor bargain. But now that the nook is available for £29, and one of my local libraries lends e-books, and my course has some material in e-book format, and I visited Cecilia Tan and saw loads of books I'd love to read but didn't have the weight allowance to bring back... maybe it's time to take the plunge. I'm kind of tempted to get the one with the backlight, but not sure whether it's worth the extra £40.
What e-reader do you have?
Not all my stuff is up there yet - should be finished with my FA posted oneshots in a day or two, but there are others that need coding and revising, and then the chaptered fics to tackle. The incentive for doing the latter being that I can download it as an epub and search across the whole story when fact checking instead of having to open 18 browser windows. (At least, I hope the AO3 download handles chaptered fic that way?)

The biggest advantage is being able to set the print size so that I can read without resort to glasses.
