Crossposting is about to commence...

[starfishstar]

Just a quick word of apology/warning, to those of you who have me in your friends feed... I'm going to start crossposting my fics here, which means a small flood coming soon. (Two Holmestice fics now, then a bunch of Yuletide fics after they de-anon).

I seem to be one of the few people who still do this – post the fic itself to Dreamwidth in addition to AO3, not just an announcement or link. But I have always been an intense and sometimes inconvenient completist, and I have always posted my fics here (well, originally Livejournal, now Dreamwidth + Livejournal) so that they can also all be collected in my masterlist here. So, I am still a completist, and am still going to do that. :-)

Final count, between Holmestice and Yuletide, is seven fics in five fandoms, plus meanwhile I've also finished another fic in another different and new fandom... During late November/early December, I had so many projects going at once that I had to make myself a chart to keep track!

And now, for the first time ever, my AO3 dashboard has that little "expand fandoms list" button, because I've finally written in more than 5 fandoms. :D

I still crosspost my fics to DW as well, mostly because I believe in redundancy. Good to see someone else still doing it as well!

Ha, yes! I'd actually drafted that post earlier, and said something more like "I seem to be about the only one who still does this..." And then I saw you posted something and I was like, oh, wait! :-)

I believe in redundancy, too... I mean, I know the whole idea of AO3 is that it's a stable archive that won't just disappear or delete things, but still, two has to be better than one, right?

Yeah, I mean, I don't expect AO3 to disappear on us any time soon, but that still doesn't mean it'll be forever, and temporary outages are pretty possible. I feel better with redundancy - I've seen too many links go dead.

(Which reminds me, I should probably update my fic index some time - I got lazy about it with the convenience of AO3, but having a list of all crossposts is still useful, in the end. Even if maybe only to me. *g*)

You may not be surprised to hear that I also maintain an *obsessively* organized masterlist...
