Tidying Up.

[bertybertle]

I've decided to let my website go when it comes up for renewal this year. Sorry to anybody who has bookmarked stuff there but I think it's time to face the fact that my days of being able to write even a few pieces a year have gone. An archive is the place for my stuff now

ahhhh, leap stories, how we loved them. :D

I'm so sorry your website is going. It's like a little bit more of our good old days is disappearing... but I do understand totally why the time has come. Go you for archiving!!! What a good person you are :D

love you lots xx

[bertybertle]

Hello you! It was a heady feeling, wasn't it, the leap story?

And yeah, it's sad, but things move on, don't they?

And I AM a good person. *preens*

*whispers* We're leaving in a couple of hours - I'll text you when we're there in case you are too!

love you more!

Thank you SO much for archiving your work. A03 is what and where? ::blushes:: I don't think I have saved all your work yet and would have hated to have it go poof. So upsetting when that happens. I really appreciate you not weaning stuff out because readers and authors so often do *not* agree on what the good fics are! I hope to see some of your WIP finished someday; maybe you could practice with some drabbles :-)

Hi Cimmie! Thank you for your sweet comments.

AO3 is a multi fandom archive which was set up and is run by volunteers. They do an amazing job.

http://archiveofourown.org/

Like anything, it takes a while to learn how to navigate, but it's a huge repository and well worth a look when you want something to read.

And I'm still lurking onlist, so who knows? Maybe there are drabbles in my future. ;-)

ah, thank you for the link. I have heard of the archive but had not been there. Lovely set up they have, SO MUCH stuff! Very happy to have it bookmarked.

Hi Berty, I hope that suddenly your muse returns and you'll start again writing. I'll keep my fingers crossed!

[bertybertle]

Aw, thanks Antares. *big kiss* I hope so too.

Thank you for archiving....I have loved your J/D stuff - most of it is saved to my EBook for lazy holiday reading....I have b/marked your AO3 page already...

Thank you for being part of a wonderful J/D fandom...

Thanks so much, Deeds.

I miss your stories desperately, so I'm delighted to hear that there might be more. (Please let there be more!) You still have an audience here and I'll find your stories wherever you post them.

[bertybertle]

Awww, that's so kind. Thank you. And I hope there are stories still in me too - I miss writing such a lot.
