yep, I'm there! Splintered_star, like usual. It's really a great system - I love the tagging system, myself. I think fandoms are distributed differently as well, but I haven't looked actual numbers.

What got me was the e-publication system, as many of my favorite fics in Bleach fandom are about as long as an average Game of Thrones book. It helped to pass the time this week when I something to real while working on my ship maintainace.

The whole thing is just so much more clean, and I'll be more than glad to donate money to the site. I hope they've got a sister site for regular fiction as well.

Yeah, I've seen some familiar faces/names over there...should have mentioned it as a likely candidate for LJ ex-pats! I haven't been fan-ficcing so much these days due to RL dumping everything on me it can think of, but I have been publishing a serial here: http://superwebnovel.livejournal.com/314.html. Unfortunately, that pretty much takes up all my time these days...but I did release the first part of the serial as an e-book late last year. Here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Super-Origins-Palladian-ebook/dp/B00SNOP0V4/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1423942682&sr=1-1&keywords=Super%3A+origins, but if you're interested to read it, PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a proof copy. I recommend it for my awesome artist's cover art, if nothing else ( ... )

While the whole of LJ has dropped off thanks to the young kids moving to Tumblr and FB and whatever, Bleach in particular seemed like it hit a brick with the Fullbringer arc. I'll be honest, I'm not jumping back in till the end of the series to see the shipper wanksplosion that's sure to be epic. ;) I was hoping you had uploaded your Bleach stuff over there so people could download your "Stuck" series, which is a work amoung work in RenIchi fandom

I bought the book on Amazon, BTW. I'll be sure to read it this week. ;)

You bring up a good point...maybe I should post the 'Stuck' series there. Do you think people would like that?

I have to admit, I kind of stopped watching Bleach after everything happened with Aizen and crew and then they took a weird right turn...maybe I'll catch up with it at the end, too.

Yay, thank you! It's a lot different than the fan work I was doing (a lot more srs bsns, and no pr0n until book 3), but I hope you like it regardless. *fingers crossed*

Like it? It would be a smash! I've noticed AO3's Bleach section is not much smaller than FF.net's, but the quality of work there is much higher, and the "Stuck" series is by far one of the better romance fic I've read for either character, together or separately. They use an invitation system so that the server doesn't get flooded, which probably explains the quality factor. All I did was sent them my email,and was sent a code two days later.

And did I mention the download options? Longer fic are far easier read on a tablet or phone than upright on a PC. ;) I work on a ship, and we don't have WiFi so offline reading is a great option when I'm skating off....I mean working. Yeah,that's it. :p

You're not the only one that gave up on the series. When I was stationed in Japan, we had some crazy hours,I was gone at sea six months out the year so the left turn at Albequeque that Kudo took made it easier to drop outta fandom.
