Fanfic Writers' Virtual Water Cooler

[SF_and_Coffee]

Mine aren't really all that spoilerish, to be honest. If you read them, you likely will neither have much of my story spoiled (if any) nor will you be terribly lost if you haven't read a single word of my fic.

*looks up at the last several posts*

Lots of spoilers there.

*sniffs*

Maybe it's time to clean out the quantum fridge.

Yeah, get those fics out of the fridge and start reading them.

Dammit, GW won't let me green you for that!

It won't let anyone green me for what they want to green me for. Have you tried the free green thread? I solve my problem that way.

[SF_and_Coffee]

I just haven't been there in a while. Gah!

[WraithRichard]

I don't use it regularly anymore, but it's always handy.

Why won't GW let you green in this thread? I can.

As for fics in the fridge?

*looks around*

None of mine are in there!

Spoiler:

Help!
It's a trap!
Theres no why out of these spoiler tags!!!

Ok -THAT was hilarious, Choo! giggling here!

I greened Richard on your behalf! Gotcha covered!

BTW -I have really enjoyed the spoiler conversation going on...interesting stuff. SF -I need an eReader to download your fic on so I could read it like a book (you know...curled up in bed at night, rather than ignoring my family on the computer in the evening). I SWEAR I'm going to get to more reading...soon!

You need it for who? Because I don't know what an E-reader is.

Derp.

Not a matter of being in this thread. I just haven't spread enough green around to green certain people right now because I greened them too recently.

Translation: She needs a Kindle, a Nook or something similar so she can download my enormously wordy epic work of literature and read it that way, rather than online.


(Frankly, I don't blame her. At 120k words and growing, it can eat its share of computer time and then some. On the other hand, .mobi files can also be downloaded and read on various types of cellphones... hint, hint.)

Ah. I misunderstood. You need to spread more green around.

Prolific. (and I don't own a cell phone)

I have no idea if ff.net helps or hinders or doesn't care about that. I can understand the desire to read fanfiction at night (or just in bed), but I wouldn't WTF of mine. BiAA or Manhood maybe, but WTF... I've already given someone a nightmare from one of my fanfictions.

[SF_and_Coffee]

I archive my work in four places right now: FF.net, Symbiotica, Archive of Our Own, and my own website. (The links to all of these are in my signature.)

AO3 (Archive of Our Own) offers readers the opportunity to download fics as EPUB, MOBI, PDF or HTML files. So if someone with an e-reader or another device (say an iPhone, iPad, iPod or an Android phone) capable of handling one of these file types wanted to download All That We Leave Behind there, they could, and then they could read it anywhere.

ATWLB isn't nightmare material at all. A couple of its characters have nightmares, but there isn't anything that should even remotely give the reader one.

Ah, the simple days, when I wrote... um... oh dear.
