Posting Outside of EF

Feb 20, 2016 09:11

I love EF- but if you're new to the whole fanfic thing it can be a little hard to track down. I would never have found it except that bewildered put in a note for Prisoners of Love on AO3 that she was updating at EF before there, so I had to go sign up ( Read more... )

I'm not actually a member of Elysian Fields. I post only on LJ and A03.

LJ/DW, my website, and AO3. I really need to update my stuff on EF -- I fell out of the habit of posting there because of... maybe it was length limits on chapters? Or because it only takes Spuffy stories, and some of my short fic isn't Spuffy, but I like to keep all of it together anyway? I don't remember, but I should probably take another shot at it.

I used to post in a TON of places but a lot of sites are gone now. Currently I am posting on EF, here on my livejournal, my backup journal called Insanejournal, and the Bloodshedverse as well as FFnet. I have yet to set up Ao3 account but will one day as I will also eventually figure our how to update my own page and get it current. My stories up to this past year are on Spuffy Realm but it kept going down and then up and I lost track of what I had there.

Aside from the two journals I stick to mostly Spuffy sites for archives to avoid Bangel issues.

*hugs* and love,

I agree with Rebcake that the more places your fic is posted, the more likely it will hang around. In addition to the now defunct sites I used to post to, I now do my LJ/DW journals, AO3, the BSV and ff.net and then I put the completed fic on my website. I have a ton of stuff on The Spuffy Realm, but haven't posted anything new there lately. I've heard bad things about ff.net and how they will remove things that don't meet their rules (which much of mine don't), but so far, so good. I've only been posting there for a couple of years but I find pretty good response. In addition to Spuffy lovers, there seem to be a lot of people there who use ff.net as a library and they read whatever catches their eye. I always follow up a review by looking at the profile of the reviewer (I'm just curious). I've found that many of them are not necessarily in the Buffy fandom at all, but they read and enjoy my stories. So, if I include TSR, I post at six archives - but two of them are handled by one post, so really just five ( ... )
