that's a lot of fics, dude

I've made an account on the new Ad Astra archive and even posted a quick fic there. I'm not sure how I feel about the fic itself but man has this resurrected my Bashir/Garak feels. A DS9 rewatch might be in the future.

Anyway, so far that fic isn't anywhere else.

I'm also slowly crossposting all my fics (currently going through the completed ones) to my new DW community wraithvault because as much longevity as the OTW might aspire to have, it's still an all-eggs-in-one-basket kind of situation. Especially because I tend to write my fics right on AO3 in the browser so I'm not sure I actually have backup copies of everything.

Or where they might be if I do...

(Yes, I've lost a thing or two when the drafts got automatically deleted and I forgot to back it up. Wince.)

But I'm extensively tagging everything (from fandom to pairing to wordcount etc.) on the DW comm so it should be easy to browse. It's set so memberships are invitation only, and posting is members only, so only I can post, but subscriptions are more then welcome! Comments are registered accounts only, though.

I've never actually done this before—I went right from ff.net to AO3 with no pitstops, and I'm only recently getting into DW. But I'm really digging it.

Like, to be honest, AO3 isn't that welcoming anymore? Like, it kind of feels like the Borg; it's one big hive where everything that's posted is assimilated into one gigantic blob of content. It's kind of loud, in a way, and I've figured out that I'm not made for that kind of loudness.

Also, I just like the fact that I can pick and choose between so many themes. XD

(I thought about doing it on Neocities and while that'd give me a lot of freedom in design, quite frankly I'm not in the mood for all the coding. Because, like, I would wanna do Things™ (that I can't actually do) with it.)

Also, I've uploaded a bunch more icons. I feel like a proper DW user now! XD

Edit: Also I do have a Squidgeworld account, I'm just not using it much.
