degeneracy on the AO3
Feb. 4th, 2011 05:15 pmMany and many a moon ago, resonant very kindly made space for me on Archive of our Own. Excited, I immediately registered an account, and then did nothing with it for more than a year and likely closer to two, because although the AO3 has made the upload process relatively painless, they have not yet provided settings so that all one's fics (scattered over the various pseuds and idents that one has created in different places because one has never especially minded whether the world knew whether the tradescant who wrote A and the tofty who wrote B and the ordinarily who wrote C and the constance who, um, made a house for Piglet and Pooh are actually the same person) are magically gathered together and coded with the single click of a button.
Okay, I kinda got lost in that paragraph, but anyway, I finally got my shit together and uploaded my fics, is what I'm saying. Yes, that's right, I have finally embraced the perfectly crazy idea that it might be a good idea to keep all one's transformative works in a single, tidy, accessible central location. Which, since this seems like as good a place as any to mention it, is here.
Well, I lie: not quite all my stuff is uploaded there, though. I didn't include anything under 500 words, of which I have a surprising lot, and none of my sundry non-writing projects are uploaded either, simply because I'm not sure whether they're welcome. Hey, AO3 users, do you know if they are? If I can link to art, for example, in a post?
Many thanks to resonant, and to the folks at AO3, for the space. And many thanks to me for finally getting it done so that I don't have to dread the process any more.
Now, if only I can keep it up to date.
