spacefilleI'm considering moving all of my fanfiction (except for the really old pre-2001 stuff) to archiveofourown.org based purely on the fact that I'm tired of having all my stuff scattered across the Internet. Turtlecest holds most of my embarrassing tmnt fic that isn't posted elsewhere (which isn't as embarrassing in light of the fact that ao3 has a well used watersports tag), adultfanfiction.net has a crappy interface and living in the fear that fanfiction.net will delete me due to content is annoying.
Thoughts?

But as an Archive it's definitely my favorite service.

I get what you're saying about the kudos button. I'd rather have it than nothing though, on FF.net you have like 500 people reading your fic and like no feedback at all. D:
:) You have so many fics up there it surprises me. I didn't know you wrote that much!

Date: 2012-10-22 07:42 am (UTC)FF.net makes me sad. Back 10 years ago it was the best site for fanfiction on the internet and it's just... bleh now.
Yeah, I think I will. Moving stuff will take a while, that is for sure. -_- I expect somewhere around next December. ;)

Date: 2012-10-22 11:10 pm (UTC)Most of the stories I've written in recent years are usually M rated now because of adult themes/language/content. I write fics with adults in mind, but they can be for anyone mature enough to handle them. Most of the time the age range I write for late teens/twenties and beyond is what reads my work so I have to say I am reaching my target audience.

Date: 2012-10-30 05:34 pm (UTC)When they get their tag filtering back up, I will <3 it even more. As it is, it's got more higher quality content that ff.net. However, I still check both - some things can only be found in one place or the other.
