With the migration of people from ff.net to AO3, I'm really wishing that there was a betaed/not betaed check box that you could filter by. It would be WONDERFUL. (And if some people tried to cheat and check the box without an actual beta, there should be another box the readers can check marked BULLSHIT.)

Now sometimes it's genuinely not needed and there is such a thing as typos and little mistakes, even using a beta. But I'm talking about the fics that make mistake after mistake after mistake after mistake. It's... JUST. GAH. I'm not sure if it's because people are too damn lazy to have someone look over the fic or what. (Again, some fics don't really need a beta - just depends on the writer.)

And in a semi-related note, it's never a good idea to use "sausage" in a sex scene in a non-ironic way.

PHEW. I've finally uploaded my fics onto AO3.

It really will be nice to use this going forward. If I ever get the writing bug again, that is. :D I also realized that my icon really is apt. FLUFF EVERYWHERE.

The only downside I've found is that I couldn't seem to list co-authors who didn't have AO3 accounts. I had to put that in the notes.

I was looking through my drafts folder in gmail (72 saved emails? okay then.) and ran across this fic snip. Free to a good home, or call it a fic prompt if you like.

I've decided to phase out my fic website and not create another. Way back when it made sense for me to have a website, but now it doesn't seem that important. Especially when I get maybe 2 hits a day now, and I can house everything on LJ. I'll be backdating missing fic here, so hopefully really old SG-1 fic won't be showing up on anyone's flist.

ETA: Ew. This is a bit of a mess. Maybe I need to create a fic journal/community to keep things organized...

I've been bunny-less for a while now and I wish bunnies were still hopping through my mind. Just...something. It's not enough to say to myself "I shall write [insert genre of choice] now." I need that one little bunny to go off of like "Sarah Jane rolls her eyes at D/R" or "Gallifreyans have babies in cubes."

I'm sure most other writers are the same way, so I guess I'm just whining. Whine whine whine.

I know some of you write original fic, so I thought I'd pass this along. I heard this on the radio the other morning. It's a contest to write "three minute fiction" (about 500-600 words), put on by NPR.

Here's the story about the contest.

Here's the first line and where you submit it.

P.S. Curlywurlys are very good.
