Coming out of the (fic archive) closet
Okay, so a few of you already know about this. For those of you who don't, I'd like to introduce:
Stealing from mitashade's announcement (because I'm just that lazy):
Gallifreyan Dreams is a new fic archive site created for the Doctor Who fandom, centered specifically around Doctor/Rose fanfiction. That said, it's not just for romantic Doctor/Rose fiction, but any story with them in it.
The best thing I've found about it while perusing the site, is that after the first time you upload, you are given an un-moderated status, and you can then post all new stories/chapters instantly. This eliminates the reliance on a small-ish number of mods to give a green light on every single change you want to make to a post, and from what I've seen and experienced, that's a point of annoyance with most authors. Also, while making a post of a new story, there are ticky boxes where you select where else the story has been posted. I believe they're working on creating an integrated search that can span across GD, Teaspoon, fanfiction.net and LJ. This would be interesting, and I hope it works out.
This website was created by authors you know, love and trust, and believe me: they've been putting their backs into it! They deserve all the credit they can get, and I for one am excited to have a new button on my bookmarks bar to click on when I'm craving a fanfiction fix, not to mention one featuring my own artwork. I feel privileged: it's so cool! :D And it's especially awesome for the Doctor/Rose shippers like me out there. One place with all that? Yeah, it's definitely a new fave.
Even if you're not an author, head to the site and join up and enjoy. Let your favourite authors know where they can post their fiction. So far the site is hosting work from some of our favourite authors, including tardismate, sinecure, momdaegmorgan and LadyChi, and hopefully more in the near future.
Thanks, mitashade for saving me from writing up a pimp post myself. *G*
Anyway, come on over and check us out. We're still working on some minor coding issues but everything is up and running. If you have any questions or maybe want to offer some assistance (coding stuff especially would be great), there's a contact us form and email link on the site.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
