Archiving LND discussion
Just spent the evening compiling the various 'discussions' that I'd had via fanfiction.net about Teach Me to Live as a respose to receiving further reviews on the story, only to discover that I'd already posted just such a compilation on this site two years ago -- the top entry under the tag-link above -- and included more material there! (The confusion is caused by the fact that I had already cut and pasted sections from earlier detailed review replies into later ones, so there is a certain amount of overlap and differing content depending on which replies I'd originally sourced my analysis from...)
I've now uploaded a combined edition to my website along with a copy of the story itself, though I don't plan to alter the version of the page here; the formatting is too different, and altering it would be a nightmare totally disproportionate to the usefulness of the exercise. Ironically, the one time that article would have come in useful -- when I was responding to those fresh reviews -- I'd forgotten I had it!
At least it provided me with the impetus actually to archive another story on my own site instead of relying on fanfiction.net, although to be honest on past history the latter is probably more likely to stay up for longer. However, I'm totally out of sync now: at a quick count I currently have five POTO/LND stories uploaded there versus 22 on FFnet. The latter is a slightly scary total (albeit including two translations plus two as-yet unfinished works) to contemplate; I really don't remember writing that many! I think the spate of 'one-shots' rather than multi-chapter stories over the last year has skewed it a bit, and of course that total also includes one story about Joseph Buquet and one about Piangi: they're not *all* about Raoul de Chagny. Not quite.
