Move ALL THE FIC.
Holy crap it's been a month since I updated. I've been busy!
I know I sort of dropped the ball on my London-trip-by-the-day travelogue...I did the whole trip on The Facebook. You guys want to see some photos? I can keep doing those posts every so often.
June was crazy. I took my hiking club kayaking, and spent one weekend on an overnight trip with them in Kentucky which was AWESOME. It was our first-ever overnight trip and it really couldn't have gone better. We stayed in this lovely cabin with a totally amazing view out the back patio, hiked, had a campfire, napped, it was great. Lovely weather. Unlike now as it's been ONE MILLION DEGREES here for weeks, it seems. My friend Gretchen came to visit one day, there was a trip to a local safari park, baby showers, brunches, and oh yeah the normal everyday stuff of work/write/zoo/laundry and such.
The huge storm (the derecho!) that blew through here a week ago didn't affect me much, thank God. I never lost power. Had some friends refugee at my place.
But on to the main topic of this post. The way we share and post fanfiction has changed a LOT since I started writing it in 1995. As most of you know, I keep a separate LJ for my fanfiction (madlorific) and there are masterposts for each fandom I've written in. Some of the links go to external sites (like FictionAlley). I'd like to start moving/copying my fanfiction output to either the fic journal or to AO3. Eventually I'd like to have everything post both to AO3 and to the fic journal. This is not a small project. Of my entire fanfic output, only my last two fandoms (Criminal Minds and Sherlock) are posted to the fic journal and some to AO3. My Brokeback fic is posted to its own journal. My HP fic is still just on either FA or on the Yahoo!Group (which I'd like to get rid of once the fic is resettled). My Trek stuff and my early Doctor Who stuff is still scattered on old geocities sites. Some consolidation is clearly called for.
This is not a small project. I think I'll start by moving the HP stuff to AO3 (it'll stay on FA as well, though). Likely I won't post those to the LJ fic journal, I'll just post links. The chapters are too long for single posts and it'd be a huge pain, plus then people can download a PDF of the whole story.
I do have some things on FF.net. I know, pit of voles, but there are so many readers who only know to go there for fic. "Alone on the Water" (which has shaped up to be my most popular fanfiction EVER) gets by far the most reviews from FF.net. Some things I'd like to add there.
God. I'm a little daunted by the prospect.
