Looking for an archive
Jun. 11th, 2012 02:08 amI have been thinking about this for a while, but with ff.net currently engaging in a massive fit of... WUT it seems like a good time to get recommendations.
I want a place where I can just put up all of my fic in one central location. I have pretty much failed at getting my own site up and properly updated. Yet I am horribly, horribly picky and can't seem to find a place I am happy with. Options so far:
( comparing notes on different archives I have looked at )
But here's the thing: If I'm going to be posting all my old stuff, I want to be able to indicate that it is old stuff. Some of it I cannot even stand to look at anymore. I don't want it mixing with my current stuff.
Lunaescence and Your Fanfiction look like my best options so far. The ability to set some sort of original publication date is pretty much the only thing lacking from either. Luna I have been with longer and am dearly fond of and already know it works, but YFF it would be easier to post all my back-fic now while the archive is very young and just add giant "originally published XX 2004" or whatever warnings in the notes and summary and have it quickly be buried (I hope).
Here is where I could go with LJ or DW because I can set the dates, but this becomes annoying when chapters are involved. On the other hand, this would be easier since a lot of my stuff is already on here anyway. I would only have to add about 4 years worth of fic, instead of 12.
Is there some perfect archive out there I'm missing? Traits I apparently want: Wide range of categories/characters and easy to add new ones, allows adult fics, allows fic series, needs to have the whole warnings/tags/genres/ratings/whatever system NOT be a mess, allows manually set original publication date, easy to navigate, easy to upload fics. (Traffic, size, or likelihood of getting reviews aren't a concern, BTW.)
And if anyone has a spare pony lying around, I'd like one of those too. :P
Not really. I have nowhere to put a pony. I'll settle for just the archive recs, really
