Thoughts on Stories, the Internet, and Other Randomosities

[scribblemyname]

So I promised I'd have something to show for my crazy, prolonged absence. And I do!

Behold! Original fiction.
Behold! The project that has commandeered my sister's life, and thus, mine.

Additionally, we've done some FF.net updates on:

HOUSE OF MIRRORS: Diable | HEAT: Pedestal | GENERATIONS: Impressions in Lavendar | THE RETURNING: Like Day Follows Night

And I've scribbled down bits of next chapters in:

BROKEN: Play It Again | HUMANITY: Miles to Go | LOVE & WAR: All's Fair | HEAT: Pedestal | GENERATIONS: Impressions in Lavender | GUILDED: Son o' de Guild

And what's with this? femgenficathon Am I nuts? Did I hit myself on the head?

I have:

• 19 ongoing fics to update


• over 700 emails to deal with


• almost 200 LJ messages/alerts


• almost a dozen reviews to reply to


• almost a dozen original fics and drabbles to publish


• about 40 original stories to get on Scribd


• a movie project to promote (speaking of, donations welcome and spreading the word better)


• lots of financial finagling (note to self: call the bank)


• and a transcription course to finish

It is official, boys and girls (do any boys read this?). The scribbler is nuts to add even one more thing, let alone femgenficathon to the list. :headdesk:


FURTHER EVIDENCE OF MY INSANITY

I want to consolidate. I have FF.net with the best reader response, AO3 with the most awesome growing list of features, my LJ with a growing delightful group of friends to hang with, my LJ community to make posting my stories here easier, and my own personal website which I could never bear to give up because I can make it pretty.

Merging is...hard. But I want to decrease my platforms and not lose my pretty reviews and make everything prettier and easier for everyone else.

Any preferred place to read your stories: FF, AO3, LJ, personal websites? Also thinking about PDF-izing all my stuff for ultimate prettification and only posting on FF.net. :still thinking:


Coming soon...ish:

Reaction shots for my beautiful ARC of With Fate Conspire by swan_tower and the concerning, mixed reviews of X-Men: First Class. Somebody please tell me the Xavier/Erik relationship was longer than a week. They're too them for less!

You my lovely dear need a secretary (700 emails??)

You could always link everything to a website, or at least link LJ to AO3 or FF? A personal website would be safest given that FF has been known to give the can without notice.

*gives you tea...and chocolate* Good luck and carry on.

Thanks for the refreshments and luck! I accept. (Note to self: declare partial internet bankruptcy.) I've linked LJ to FF before, and that didn't do too much, but I'm thinking about AO3 and particularly, my personal website.

Thanks for the ideas!
