edenfallingTonight I finally got around to sticking Fixation, and Other Stories up on AO3. I'd been meaning to do that for a while -- I formatted the files back in November, for goodness sake -- but I am not always very good at making intentions connect up to actual results. There are intermittent gaps and shorts in the requisite circuits, you know? But tonight I had the time and the spoons, so yay, more backlist is crossposted.
I do want to keep backing up my old fics on AO3. I suspect it will always remain an incomplete archive -- there are some things that are either too fragmentary or too silly/context-dependent for me to want to post them in a more public arena than my own journal -- but my AO3 fic list should eventually be more comprehensive than what I have up on ff.net. AO3 allows backdating, for one thing; it allows more fandoms and text formatting options than ff.net; it is somewhat less mired in black-box inscrutability; and finally, AO3 does not have a bee in its collective bonnet about second person POV. (Yes, I am still peeved about that idiocy.)
I should probably crosspost "The Way of the Apartment Manager" next. It's my longest story after "Secrets," and is probably still the thing I'm best known for writing, insofar as I am known at all. I did some preliminary work in that direction recently, which mostly involved copying the chapter summaries from ff.net to my personal files -- for various irrelevant reasons, I wrote the summaries as I posted instead of considering them an integral part of the chapters in question -- but I'll have to code in all the italics first. (Or just import the files from ff.net... but then I'd have to change all the scene dividers by hand, and strip out the notes and metadata, which is probably the same amount of work in the end, so. *makes face* I'll stick with hand-coding italics. I am at least used to that.)
And now to bed. :-)
