I have an account over at Archive of Our Own now, thanks to the wonderful Avocado_love!

My account is here. It's not done yet, but it's halfway and I'm too hungry to finish right now. So there.

So you can be an elitist like everyone else? :/

How is keeping a second archive of my fanfic elitist?

avocado_love October 21 2010, 19:15:13 UTC

Yeah, I'm kinda curious about that too.

the_flowergirl October 21 2010, 19:15:18 UTC

It's not, but some people who archive there archive there BECAUSE they're elitist.

But that's not saying you or Avocado are.

Don't mind me, I'm just opinionated today.

Ooh, congratulations! I'm liking their set up over there. I'm on the waiting list though so I don't have an account there yet. :( Tis why I haven't left any comments on folks' stuff there.

So, what's to recommend AoOO? Is it just a fan-run place you know your stuff will never be deleted from, or are there other perks?

yukinoomoni October 23 2010, 00:36:13 UTC

So far, when it comes to uploading and editing, it's the superior site. I tire of always having to make a new document file to edit something, whereas on AO3 you can just edit it right then and there.

I'm still a newbie to it, so I have to admit that I am confused a bit - but when it comes to posting fics, it's easy-peasy. Navigation and searches, however, confuse me a bit.

It's got tags, sort of like LJ, so you can read all wedding fics if you want then, then filter it to your pairing/rating/fandom/additional tags.

You can upload per chapter, and an overhead series, which you can reorder.

You can add a series in a collection/co-author a work/gift a work :) and you can link out haha.

There's still no way to subscribe to an author for alerts but they're working on coding for it. But you can bookmark a series/work or mark to read it later.

It's a really really good site.

Hm, some of those are really nice options. Thanks for detailing them for me!

congratulations on the AO3 account. It's such a good place to get lost in. :) And the fics are quality too. :)

I've yet to stumble on a really really really bad fic in AO3 (not that that's a bad thing.) haha.
