Random rambling about stuff that's peripherally related to fic
My apologies to those of you who have the misfortune of being subscribed to me at AO3, I know you got spammed over the last few days as I got caught up on backing up my work.
The good news is that I'm pretty much done. I have one multi-chapter story that I still haven't backed up, but everything else is there now, so no more spam! Yay!
For those of you who didn't know that I have found yet another place to crosspost to, well, now you know. I can be found here:

I actually really like the AO3 format. LJ will always be my first home and my primary posting grounds, but AO3 allows me to embed images and links much the same way (unlike fanfiction.net), and I'm slowly getting used to how it works over there. There are things I still don't understand (like, what the heck does 'Orphan my works' even mean? It sounds like I'm ordering a hit on myself, which is mildly terrifying), but I'm working my way through it.
I am also pretty much caught up on all the comments & feedback that had been piling up in various places, which is definitely good. I kind of got swamped there for a while.
I am still fighting to the death with my Big Bang. I am at that point where I hate everything about the fic and am convinced it sucks. This happens pretty much with every long piece of work I have ever written, and I think it's not uncommon among writers and artists anyway. ;)
I have a bunch of medium-to-big writing projects due fairly soon. It's weird, but I've gotten a little stuck on writing long things lately. All the long fic I've posted was written a few months ago and simply finished and edited recently. The longest fic I've managed lately is maybe 3 or 4k. I don't know, it hasn't been a great couple of months, writing-wise. Hopefully things will pick up and I'll start feeling excited again about the whole writing thing. Right now everything I write feels like it's utter shit. Feh.

*kicks ground* I guess I'll go forage for food and go back to studying or something. So unfun.
