Jesus Christ On A Cracker, What Is WITH Some Writers?

I think FF generally has a pretty young readership, and sometimes authorship.

Not always, but generally.

This might account for some of the comments that have annoyed you - it's probably just immaturity.

I would like to send you a Ferrero Rocher to cheer you up, but I can't find a chocolate teleporter on my computer. Also, I've just eaten the entire box.

Hope my use of apostrophes is okay?

And you have a crap-on-a-cracker tag??
Brillo-pads!!!

Thank you! You can send me a Ferrero Rocher IOU.

Does AO3 have an older reader/writership? Do a lot of people read it? (Yes, I'm a whore.)

[jezziejay]

AO3?? Wracking my brain but have no idea what this is...please to be translating, yah?

It stands for An Archive Of Our Own, another fiction site. I've only posted 2 chapters of "The Princess And The Peeved" since the technical requirements seem a bit daunting.

I've never heard of it. The only fiction sites I know are fanfiction and House_Wilson, and I found the second one by accident. Since then, I've rarely bothered with FF - it just seems that most (but not all) of the fictions posted there are...well, childish - they are laden with teen angst. Of epic proportions!
I dunno - that's just my opinion. And so I'm not surprised by some the comments you have come across over there.

[cuddyclothes]

Do you mean House_Wilson on LJ? There's also housefic. House_fanfiction seems to skew younger (maybe it's just the design).

So. I should probably stop giggling. Blame it on the weather, or something. Or your delicious Nice Day For A White Wedding that I just read.

You can't understand the way a real artist's brain works - so SUCK IT UP you mere mortal!
Anyway, that's when the "don't like, don't read" rule comes in handy.
*gives you ridiculous lollipop to cheer you up*

[cuddyclothes]

That was one delish lollipop! Thank you!

I guess there's nothing like truth in advertising, but I do wonder who reads a story after reading a summary like that.

I'm posting my fics only on an LJ that I set up just for my stories. I guess from what you've said here and what I've read in a couple of other places, I want to avoid ff,net -- which is fine because the process of posting it there looks a little daunting. Do you have anywhere else you recommend for posting (and reading)?

[cuddyclothes]

There's An Archive Of Our Own...I've looked at it, and been told there are generally older readers. Other than that, I don't know. I post here and on ff.net, if there's somewhere else I'd love to hear about it.
