wherein Liz briefly contemplates ff.net
Oct. 24th, 2006 10:10 pmI think ff.net's alert function is broken. You know how I know this? Because over the past two days, I've seen new chapters from two authors I have on author alert, but I got no email notification. Also, I posted chapter 7 of "Lemonade" over there a few hours ago, but I didn't get the auto-copy of the notification email.
I am peeved.
It's funny. I have various reasons (some petty, some less so) for disliking ff.net, but it serves a very necessary function in bringing so many different fandoms together and letting people explore and post and review and jump around with relative ease. We need that site to exist. The positives outweigh the negatives.
...
Anyway, I'm heading home to fry up some chicken and onions and read some more of Storm Front by Jim Butcher. (A few months back, I read a Spider-Man book he wrote and liked his writing enough -- engaging narrative voice, good grasp of characterization, deft touch with plot -- that I decided to look into his original stories. So far, Harry Dresden does not disappoint. *grin*)
