All my fics are now moved...

[sonjajade]

Kinda feeling bittersweet about the whole thing.  I really like how AO3 is put together and how many features there are for authors, but ff.net is where this whole writing thing started for me and now that I have 0 fics there and a very short profile paragraph, it just kinda hurts a little.  Nothing shows up in the traffic stats, I've had fans messaging me the past 2 days asking where to find their favs...

It's all for the best, I just wish I hadn't wasted my time posting all that stuff over there in the first place :(

Which is odd, because there's still several NC-17 level FMA fics posted under the M rating that have not been taken down. It's so hit and miss that it makes no sense at all--and makes even less sense that, for the time being, the purges have been suspended.

I get the feeling the admin on ffn is non-existent 98% of the time, and resurface when they feel like they need to make the effort to act like they really care about what's posted there. *sigh* While I know it's a lot of work to transfer everything, AO3 sounds like the best alternative. I feel your pain! It's a lot of work to move everything to another site.

I started to just leave all the fics and let the shitty admins figure it out. But then I thought about what if they banned my account? Because then I would lose all my favs and I would be sad. I did put the AO3 address in my profile so that people could find my stuff, and I'm still getting PMs from fans asking me where to find things. I have one kid who tells me they are too young to access aff.net and asked me if I could copy paste the fic into a PM for them. I said nope, you'll either have to wait until you're old enough or lie on the age thing (which is what I thought most kids did anyways...)

It's all really frustrating, and maybe in time I'll put some of my fics back up over there at ff.net, like the T rated ones but right now I am totally done with them. It's easier for me to post them to AO3 or straight to my LJ fic acct.

Ah, the kiddies... Yes, the underaged accessing 'adult' content issue; it's part of my beef with deviantART, but that's another story. Like you said, I'm sure they find ways around the age restrictions, although aff boots them off if they find out they're minors. Like you, I'm posting my adult fic mostly to LJ and AO3, and am no longer considering posting anything of any rating on ffn. Maybe if I stopped writing smut I could post more there... Nah. Never gonna happen! LOL!

ffn can play their games, we just don't have to participate!
