A forced goodbye

[xie_xie_xie]

It's been quite a while since I posted here, and I'm not at all sure many people who know me remain. I've had very strong feelings about not destroying fandom assets even after creators have moved on, and it was never my intention to delete this journal.

Setting aside all drama and politics, let me just say that the new LJ TOS has left me with no

I'll follow wherever you choose to go. Honestly, AO3 is way better for fic - far easier to navigate. Thanks for letting us know!

I love AO3!

*waves hello*

I'll friend you on DW. I'm passing_through24 over there because someone else had my username.

It makes so the happiest girl in the world to know that you're posting on AO3. I can only read EPUBs on my new Nook (I can load PDFs but the font is too small for me to read) and to know that I can have Only Time and Pulse Point on my new Nook is awesome!

I honestly had no idea what the TOS were about and now that I do, it's probably wise that I migrate to DW as well. My LJ is Friends Only and I need to look into how I can make my DW account as well.

I feel the same as you, I made some great friends here (and on IJ) and I feel like I'm going to be missing people when I eventually migrate to DW since not everyone will be going.

I'm back with a question. Will you be setting up Only Time on AO3 as a series in addition to individual chapters? I only ask because when I load chapters separately on my Nook, there is no way to put them in order so I don't know where each section goes and in what order to read them, which as a lover of your fic causes me great distress :)

[xie_xie_xie]

It IS as a series! You can load each story in the series as a single document. Here is the entire series:

Here is Plans as a single document:

I'm not aware of any way to make a series display as a single document, but this is a lot less work than chapter by chapter!

[passing_through]

I don't think I worded it right. I had to go back to AO3 to figure out what I meant to ask. What I wanted to ask was were you going to link each series together so then entire work could be viewed as an "entire work" option instead of a series?

I'm being way too picky, I know and I hope I'm not coming across as being ungrateful because I was know how much of your heart and soul you put into the QaF fandom.

I already created a word doc with the entire series and made a PDF for my old Nook but it won't work on my new Nook and when I saw you were posting to AO3 I got really excited :)

So basically, I ♥ you and will always be grateful for getting to be a part of the QaF fandom with you and the rest of the girls. We had some fun!

I've started to post a few older fics on AO3, but…

It's not the same. The comments are really not up to the level of the
kind of feedback on LJ, not to mention real conversation and friendships
had a chance to develop. I haven;t found that on any other format.

Sorry to you go!

[xie_xie_xie]

I agree about the comments/community, however, I get a lot of new readers on AO3, but none anywhere else. So there's that. :)

I was only thinking about you today and wondering what you have been up to. A lot of people are moving over to Dreamwidth where I also have an account and I'm looking to see who is there too.
I will continue following you.
Are you still in the country with your dogs?

[xie_xie_xie]

Yes, I am! It's where I'm happiest. :)

Your story was a big part of my coming to LJ, thank you for that.
I'm hardly ever here anymore, but have met some great people here and had a great time.
All the best,
Lisbeth

[xie_xie_xie]

The same to you!
