First of all, how much do I love this icon?

Second of all, thanks to the wonderful lasairfhiona, who is the one who introduced me to LJ, I now have an AO3 account and am in the long drawn out process of putting my fics up over there. I'm starting with what's up under my other pen-name on FF.net because the import function is groovy but even so, there's only

Oh, fabulous - I've got a friend who only reads fics which she can view on a single page, so I've been unable to recommend her some of yours which are in chapters on your site. AO3's much better for her!

I have to admit, I didn't even know you *had* an ff.net account... what's your pen name there?

[helsinkibaby]

J9 ... a bit too close to my real name so I'm trying to phase it out but there's too many fics on there to just delete!

[lothy]

Thanks :)

Also, if there's anything in particular you want to rec to your friend, let me know and I'll move it to the top of the queue!

[lothy]

Just any longer ones, really - she loves long fics.

I've already spotted one or two fics in your upload I haven't read yet which sound interesting, so yay!

[helsinkibaby]

Fool for Lesser Things, 92000 words, should keep her going!

And I'm telling you, I'm importing fics and going "I wrote this? Seriously?" There's fic there from 2002; how can I remember that when I can hardly remember what I did this morning? LOL!

[lothy]

I don't blame you! There are times I come across things I wrote years ago and have that reaction, and I write barely anything compared to you!

I put some of my fics up on AO3 a while back, but only a few that I like the most. I can't quite decide whether to put the rest up.

See, that? Would be sensible. I, however, am an all-or-nothing kinda gal. Which, considering how prolific I used to be, is probably going to turn me into a blithering mess in little or no time!

2002... Got you beat, I've uploaded highlander fics from the mid 90s lol!

And yeah... I've been doing the same thing. And as I go back and catch typos and such, I look at the stories and go "I wrote that" too some of which I thought was bad turned out to be not so bad and I've lost some of what I use to do in terms of filling out the stories...

[lothy]

By the way, you might want to consider putting some character tags on your fics?

[helsinkibaby]

I will start doing that and then going back and doing it to the other ones that are already up...there's a few more tags that I could add as well. My problem is that I can't remember what half the fics actually are so I'm tagging for ship and figuring I can go back and do the rest later!

[lothy]

That's the problem with reuploading old fics! When I put my few up, I think I had to reread some of them to figure out tagging. But as long as you've got the most obvious tags up, you can easily take your time with the rest.
