Spreading Out.

It has taken me two years since The BFF initially suggested it to me, but I have finally gotten an AO3 account. I was hesitant because I have issues with being too spread out in my fandom life, having my fic in more than one place. It's a control issue. I know I didn't have it back in my early days of fandom, when everything was on Yahoo groups and this archive and that website, etc. My fics were spread out everywhere back then. In those days though, I was on the drugs and that made my control issues less of a deal than they are now. Since then, like I was looking for good Firefly fic to read that hit the sweet spot I wanted, and the place I was searching recommended my own story to me! I didn't even remember ever having put anything in that archive! So after letting the suggestion sit for two years - omg - I finally did it. I am just slowly loading my fic on there, a few a week. So far I just have three fics up - a Misha/Mike-Jared/Jensen fic, a Puckerman-centric Glee fic & a Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert fic. I will be uploading in the order that I posted to LJ, until I get all caught up.

I also started a side tumblr, as a place to vent about a lot of the day to day of the disability. I mean, I vent about the big stuff here and also updates on my health, but I wanted a place to just randomly complain about the little things. Like, why do people think my wheelchair is a coat rack? Or why do businesses put their handicap parking spots way down away from the building? Sure, the ramp is down there for wheelchair people, but wheelchairs aren't the only kind of disability. What about those of us who struggle with walking farther than we have too? Things like that and reblogs and submissions of the same kind. And helpful things like adaptive equipment and stuff. Tumblr is the first place I ever heard the words 'ableists' and ableism', so I figured it was a good place to reach others who would like a blog like this and maybe benefit from it. At least we can be 'like'-ing things in solidarity.

Anyways, here is where I am now on the Internets...
My Livejournal - Dodger_Sister.
My Fandom Tumblr - Dodger-Sister.
My Disabilities Tumblr - Disableism.
My AO3 Account - Dodger_Sister.

Just in case you missed it, you can upload to AO3 directly from any fic you've posted here at LJ. You'll have to futz with the coding when it goes up, since it reads everything (including LJ tags) and stuff gets out of place on AO3. But it's a thousand times better than copy and pasting, believe me.

I saw that! The BFF actually walked me through it all. But I tried the copy and paste option first and it seems so easy to me. I already have the story page open on LJ, so I just click 'edit' and the copy and paste the fic, leaving out all the header info and whatnot that I would have to delete if it uploaded the whole fic. It takes like 10 seconds. But I haven't uploaded a fic longer than 3k so far, so maybe I'll like the upload option better for longer stories?
