Still working on archiving jacked_up. I'm up to 2009 now. Jesus FUCK, but that's a prolific comm. It's a pity some of the fics are gone. I'm not saving any comm pages that point to locked lj's or dead links, just the ones that point to live links or that actually have content ( Read more... )

Just want you all to know that I am still turning that E/C/Z idea around in my head. I think it could be something really interesting, a challenge. Unfortunately, I'm impeded by my lingering sadness and sense of betrayal at having Ethan snatched away like that.** But I am trying!

So I finally got my fics up at AO3. Not all of them - some of my earlier stuff makes me wince, frankly, and I'm not letting them out of their LJ cages, thanks. But all the stuff I like is there.

My AO3 archiveZeke has calmed down, thank the goddess, though now he's withdrawn instead of angry. I figure if I just play Salt Lick and sit quietly ( Read more... )
