Writing fanfiction was the “gateway drug” that got me hooked on the fun creative writing, which did lead to creating original works. Now that I’ve returned to fanfiction (with the explicit goal of finishing my unfinished fanfic) my experience with originals has allowed me to make that fanfic better. As an example, I’ve added some extra characters that are really better rounded IMO than canon, and allow me to have a viewpoint that was missing before. (Also the willingness to dabble more in smut helps )

I’d be happy to get the hit counters going again… mine haven’t budged in months, leaves me wondering if anybody’s reading or not.

Unfortunately it’s been a bit of a battle with the attacker… the two times I’m aware of the coder *trying* to bring the code live, the attacker repeats their attack and we’re left with our website redirecting visitors to unsavory locations on the internet. Crossing my fingers the third time’s the charm for our coder.

Ditto… Yep. I’ve seen other other writing (& self-pub) websites, lots will claim openness, but reading the TOSs and there’s a ton of restrictions that more or less deny reality, imply a sex-less “utopia” is upon us.

At first it hid the fact I wasn’t making good progress on the Halloween story, but that changed sometime last month when I finished it. Played too much of the game, and now working on my potter story (which isn’t published on this archive anyways).

Uh-oh…

I’m guessing they were having some ongoing email issues. https://twitter.com/AO3_Status I wouldn’t notice as I don’t get Kudos all that often.

AO3 was on “server maintenance” this morning, around the time you would’ve checked.
