Big Damn List o' Fic

[elspethdixon]

Elspethdixon's Big Damn Fanfic ListBeing an index to every piece of extant-on-the-web fic by Elspethdixon since her freshman year of college, including the clichéd badfic, the abandoned WiPs, the one that turned up on McTabby’s Summary Executions, and the one with the word “orbs” in it. From Harry Potter to Pirates of the Caribbean, and beyond.

Will you be putting When the Lights Go On Again on ff.net? I'm sort of hoping to get a single-file HTML version of the story for off-line reading purposes:)

Thanks!

That one's not going to go on ff.net, but I can email you a .doc or .rtf file of it if you want ^_^.

We're considering doing a serial-filing on it some day, and I have a policy of never, ever deleting fic, so we *can't* put it on ff.net, because then if we're really, really lucky we might end up having to delete it (the cap_ironman comm posts can just be locked to the comm in the lottery-winning-like chance that that ever happens). That's why the .pdf version -- so people could get the whole thing in one file without having to copy-paste-save a zillion lj posts. (the Snow Queen fic is also not on ff.net, but that's because it quotes large parts of the original fairy tale verbatim and I'm pretty sure that's against ff.net's rules).

An RTF file would be *awesome*, thanks:) Though.. what's a serial-filing?

And just in case you don't have it: janethunder at gmail dot com. Thanks!

what's a serial-filing?

Filing the serial numbers off -- turning a fanfic into a publishable-without-risk-of-lawsuits novel by changing salient details enough to avoid copyright infringement (in this case, it's going to involve absolutely gutting the thing and rewriting it totally, which means it may never happen, but we wanted to be prepared).

Ah-ha! I have heard of that (and, now that you mention it, actually think I have a story that would be good for it -- maybe a project for December:)
