Once more with Spammation

Just a word on AO3:

I got my account early there because of working on TCW, and I uploaded one fic and forgot entirely about it.

Well, y'all have been posting about the archive and the one fic I uploaded got a comment (A COMMENT! ON THE ARCHIVE SITE! Unexpected and awesome. I don't remember commenting visibly on the site being a part of the archives I posted to in my early fannish days, but who knows. I don't remember lots of stuff. Anyway, neato.). So I decided to upload all my fic there starting from the beginning. And within one day, I've already gotten two more comments (on my old and not so great fic; yay!)

Can I first say how rocking the "import fic from existing URL" function is? THERE IS A FREAKING LEPRECHAUN IN THE COMPUTER AND SHE KNOWS WHAT YOUR STORY NOTES ARE AND WHAT YOUR TITLE IS AND OMG ALL YOUR HTML. *is floored and grateful* I mean, it's a buttload of fic to transport over there and it's gonna take a huge time committment. But this makes it so much easier.

I don't think I need to wax poetic on the tagging over there because y'all have already been doing that.

I have had to literally sit on my hands, though, while uploading the fic. I'm doing it chronologically so, wow. "The man" and "the vampire" kinda abound and when I re-read the first sex scene I'd written I sorta laughed until fizzy water fizzed out my nose. SO VERY VERY BAD. It's like The Sound and the Fury narrated by Benji as a frat boy. *full body shudder* But in the interest of preserving the work as it was written, all I did was correct a typo I found. *hangs head*

Anyways, AO3 awesome!!!

From lj, it's been no problem at all. I still have to go in by hand and erase the header because I find those irritating to read in archives; all that info is already there and doesn't need to be duplicated. When I tried to import fic from a website, no dice.

It's not that it's hard to do it by hand, it just seems so overhwhelming. LOL AND I SHOULD BE WRITING YULETIDE! Man, last year, I knocked that shit out for a gold star, and now I'm floundering.

Yay for bookmarks!
