Seven Year Itch

It's my fanniversary today!

Back in 2008, at the urging of herself_nyc - whose birthday it is! - I posted my first fic, Becoming Anne. This "urging" is no reflection on her estimation of my storytelling. (I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm too easy on Spike.) At that point, all she'd ever read from me were comments on her work. But she pointed me at LiveJournal

Please take a bow to the standing ovation here (at least in my office)! :)

I'll be eternally grateful for your effort in archiving anaross' work on AO3! Re-reading her stories in late February, mere weeks after my joining both LJ and Elysian Fields (in order to post my very first story on Valentine's Day, my own Valentine to Spuffy) inspired me to write the second fanfic I've ever written, and keep going from there. I love it that my fandom has no shortage of great writers, but anaross ends up being a touch more personally significant. So I'm beyond grateful to have her work archived and more accessible than ever.

And thanks again for organizing seasonal-spuffy. I've read EVERYTHING (fics, artworks, vid--whatever) posted this season (could not hold my breath, like a kid on Halloween), and now I'm suffering from withdrawal, whimpering, "Moar please, and soon?"

Must echo the rec for the_moonmoth. I just started her The Soul Lies Down last night and it was so good I think I did the virtual equivalent of weeping at her feet. Please continue to rec writers I have yet to

Aww shucks.

I sometimes feel like my most effective role in all this is archivist/cheerleader/glutton! There are so many delicious things already out there, and I want them to last forever and share them with everybody, and still want yummy new things!

So I'll just keep pimpin' the good stuff, and giving people ample opportunity to come up with more. Sometimes, that's even me!

Thanks, sweetie!

OMG!

Heh. Just telling it like it is. :)

Happy Faniversary!

[rebcake]

Thanks! Wheeeeeee!

And thanks for everything you do everyday to get the word out about the good stuff!

[rebcake]

*hugs* Thanks, my dear!

Happy Faniversary!
And yay for the upcoming chapters =)

[rebcake]

Thank you! I'll get right on that!

Congratulations! And I'm incredibly grateful to you for archiving herself_nyc and Anna S. I was really bummed when BuggerThis disappeared, and am always fearful of Anna S's stuff disappearing (I've converted a ton of her stuff to PDF, but I can't stand the format). Thanks so much!

[rebcake]

Oh yes! You've reminded me that I still have a few Spander things by Anna S. to put up over there. I was having a problem with getting the dates right, and then I saw something shiny…

Herself was in contact with Anna S., and she pretty much gave blanket permission to archive her work, as long as she is clearly credited, which wasn't always the case. I wonder if more of her stuff could go up on Spanderfiles, too? Hmmmmmm.

[baudown]

There is quite a bit of her stuff on Spanderfiles, actually, although not everything, and I don't think there is any updating being done there. She also has a bunch of non-Spander stuff scattered throughout her livejournal -- not just Season Noir, but many other parings, both with and without Spike -- as well as some stuff from other fandoms (besides the Sentinel stories that are upon AO3). I've collected the links to a lot of this -- if you do want to continue, I'd be happy to provide them. No pressure, though!

[rebcake]

I would definitely be interested in those links! Do you need email? Or PM?
