And yours ought to be on it - um, which one am I trying to think of? Was it 'A Summer'? Or 'One Summer'? Ayeee, I can't recall! Something with 'summer' in it anyway, and donkeys... Don't you wish you had a memory like mine? *hg*
I like a good story list too - it's been aaaaages since we did one!
And hee - yes, One Summer it's called! With donkeys! I like that you remember the donkeys... *vbg* (And you remind me that I haven't posted that to A03 yet, so with my Fandom Self-challenge in mind... done. *g*)
Thank you for putting me out of my misery! I've been muttering 'Summer Lads, Summer Breeze, Summer summer summer-something!' for the last hour, not able to get to my file to look it up... and of course I remembered the donkeys!
Yay for posting it to AO3 too - it's lovely to have as much Pros-y stuff in one place as we can manage.
I like you mantra - Summer Lads, Summer Breeze, Summer summer summer-something - just what I'm in the mood for! I'm not usually all about the summer, but just now... *g*
And... yeah, A03 is fine, but... you do remember that we had three perfectly good Pros archives before it came along, right? Four even if you count the two Hatstands separately...! If anything I find it much harder to just go and rummage around for good Prosfic at A03 than I ever did there, cos they were all so well organised... and all Pros!
(ETA - twice, sorry - cos apparently I also found it easier to spell and type before today... *headdesk*)
I loved the old archives - and still do - but a lot of the new stuff is only being put up on AO3, so in my head I think I'm seeing that as my first stop, go-to place to find things - then I kind of work my way back to the others. It's lovely to have the choices, and I hope like henry the older archives survive as separate entities. Part of me hates change, and part of me is all, 'ooh, shiny!'
I know, it's a shame the old archives aren't being updated any more (except for ProsLib of course - hurrah the archivists!), because that does mean it's only A03 that's there as an archive. I just find it difficult to search for stories I want to find. Looking for HG's fic to link, for example, was a bugger, cos I couldn't remember how she'd punctuated hgdoghouse, and if you get it wrong, you get nothing... The Circuit and Hatstand were so easy to search, cos you could see a long list of Pros authors right there in front of you, and just point yourself at the author you meant...
That's my one problem with AO3 too - I do find it hard to search. Hopefully though, it'll get better one day... Until then, my method of finding things has to be seen to be believed!
I love story lists! \o/
