Prologue
Welcome to my library. Well, it will be a library, once I've completed its construction. It may take a long, long, long time for that to come about. But, in the mean time, just sit back and enjoy the fiction.
I might put other things in here as well as the stories - maybe some rants or quiz results that I find amusing, or some other random kinds of things. Then again, I might not, so don't hold your breath.
As a general sort of warning, while I haven't quite gotten the art of smut-writing fully down pat yet, I do write a heck of a lot of slash when the inspiration strikes, so if you don't like that sort of thing, then maybe this archive isn't for you. That said, I don't mind constructive criticism, but outright flames can go straight on the fire, since we desperately need the extra heating.
I've decided to edit this post to get a few things straight, mainly for myself.
For when I get onto the slightly lengthier stuff, this is my way of thinking. As a guideline:
Word Count-wise: 0.................obviously nothing.
-100..........drabble
100-500....flashfic
1000..........ficlet
10,000+....fic
Chapterwise: 1...........one-shot
-9..........vignette
10-29....novella
30+........novel
Ratingwise: G............general - no sex, no violence, no language.
PG.........very mild warnings, as in lots of kissing or some swearing, allegory of violence.
R............general warnings - sexual references but not much explicit detail, violence but nothing too horrific.
NC-17...very explicit, lots of gory detail and I mean that in both ways.
Sorry, I just wanted to get that sorted out for myself.
Disclaimer can be found in my profile, as can the explanation of how this journal was born. I don't think there's anything else I have to mention right now, so I'll leave you to it. Enjoy!
