GoT Fic!

[netgirl_y2k]

You know, it occurred to me recently, because I've been writing a silly amount, that I don't actually know what the social-norm for posting fic is anymore. Like, are you supposed to post only to AO3 and link, or is each fic meant to get its own LJ/DW post? Do people still hate the AO3? Are fic comms even still a thing? Why is Tumblr?

Me = being bad at things that come naturally to the other kids since an undisclosed point in the 1980s.

Anyway, have some femslash with added dragons. Also, the title has nothing to do with anything, I just panicked.

Ummm...yes. It's basically the same as always, do what you feel like. Don't link to the FF.N version if you don't want to automatically get people to not read, etc, etc.

There are in fact still fic comms. Tumblr is the worst ever for fic.

I like that title.

anatsuno had a good post (starting where it says "Another thing" recently about why it's a good idea to post in more than one place for like when servers go down and such, and I felt sort of bad because I'd mostly just been posting at the AO3 for the last year, and there was discussion in comments.

There are some people who post fic on Tumblr and I DON'T UNDERSTAND THOSE PEOPLE AT ALLLLLL.

Stuff is still getting posted to fic comms, or showing up in recs comms, or being posted in individual LJ and/or DW posts. I definitely prefer it when the people posting are offering up links to the AO3 version as well as the LJ/DW posts -- I've seen a few people including the AO3 link on their own LJ posts (or in their recs posts on an LJ comm, as an alternative to the LJ link they also offer), but a lot seem to think just one link to a given story is sufficient (or possibly that anyone following an LJ comm is happiest getting LJ links). I've picked up the habit of, when provided with a link to an LJ-posted story, going to AO3 and searching for the author's name. I've found the AO3 version of the same story often enough to persist in the habit. (A day or two back I got recced to a story that was LJ-only -- and in 21 parts, some of them broken into a and b sections -- and it filled me with woe. The authors are on AO3, they just haven't uploaded all their old stuff. Mind you, the last time I found one of their Big Bang fics and sucked it up and saved the webpage it was saved to and used Calibre to convert it to MOBI, it turned up on AO3 maybe a few weeks afterwards.)
