This and That

I'm slowly migrating my fics from my website to AO3. Slowly as in I uploaded 2 fics and decided that I WAS A GOD and went clothes shopping. AO3 tries to make it as easy as possible, but the site I used puts in weird formatting, so it's not very clean. I have to fiddle.

AO3 really is fairly fabulous though - lots of sorting and tagging abilities. Plus you can directly download fics to Kindle (or other ereader) format. I've decided some fics just aren't worth transferring though. Too short, not very good, etc. I'm a bit disappointed I was never able to finish the SG-1 Dino fic. I mean, it had dinosaurs and ninjas!

Hmmm. Should I read more Sherlock fic? I probably will. (If only to annoy certain people via email.) One thing surprising: the amount of getting married fics in this fandom. More than I've seen for Doctor/Rose or Sam/Jack. And I've even written marriage fics for both of those. :D

I think my perfect Sherlock fic would involve:
    Random Person: Hey John, up for the pub?

    Sherlock: *GLARES* MY BFF. GET YOUR OWN. And while you're most likely failing miserably at that task, let me tell you the 27 different ways you fail at life, including the fact that your wife is cheating on you and your shoelace is untied.

    John: *hurts himself headdesking*

AO3 = Archive of our Own? The idea of downloading fics straight to kindle is a huge draw. I LOVE MY KINDLE.

Yeah, Archive of our Own. And the direct-to-Kindle file is FABULOUS. If I ever write fic again, I'll be posting directly on AO3.

And your intervention ISN'T WORKING.

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE SHERLOCK ICONS NOW. WHO ARE YOU.

is this how you guys felt when I got into vampire fandom? XD

I never want to read a fic that isn't on my kindle again to be honest.

I'm even making icons. There might be an icon post eventually. :-X

My fandom is way better than vampires.

And another nice thing about AO3 - you can backdate a fic. I can keep the original dates on fics.

OMG.

I can fight you. My fandom does contain 100 percent women JUST SAYING.

Ooh that's handy.

Does that mean Damon and Stefan are women?

I too sense a disturbance in the Force.



IF ONLY THERE WERE A WAY TO BEAM A COMMENT DIRECTLY TO A FIC FROM MY NOOK. I have gotten terrible at remembering to comment because of this.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that is a downside.

[identity profile] goldy-dollar.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL OOPS I SEEM TO HAVE LEFT OFF A "MORE"

But maybe that will be the big twist in S3, you don't know.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
But in this case, this is a good thing. Moffat writing women is full of BADNESS. This is why the potential for flouncing is great if Irene Adler turns up.

And I knew there was something up with Damon and Stefan! But either or, they still have have sex, right?

[identity profile] goldy-dollar.livejournal.com 2011-05-22 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL I don't know if this helps or hurts your case, but it is a fair point.

I think the real question is whether they would still have a threesome with Elena. Or maybe Katherine. Or maybe both.

As are we all, Michelle. As are we all.

Somewhere Daniel is still sucking on a dinosaur's nose. Ever so politely.

WAIT. Does this mean your fics won't be here on LJ anymore? Cause if so, that means, I'll have to change some of my bookmarks.

YES.

although actually you getting into vampire fandom is more predictable than Michelle getting into angsty hurt/comfort Sherlock slash.

[identity profile] goldy-dollar.livejournal.com 2011-05-23 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what to predict anymore.

[livejournal.com profile] shinyopals is probably set to start writing Wincest any moment now. :O

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/ 2011-05-23 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
lol lots of Wincest with lots of naked men.

I don't know what my most unexpected fandom would be. ...Probably anything from the CW.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-23 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I'll keep them here. I have a website I got ages ago that I'm going to migrate them from.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2011-05-23 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be awesomely hilarious. XD

You might be happy to note that I just finished reading a fic that was insanely fabulous and was completely gen. Well, BFF stuff, but very in line with the show.
