30 Day Fanfic Writing Meme – Day 23
Jul. 29th, 2011 08:28 pm23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
My LJ, DW, FF.net if age-appropriate, AO3. With all these links in hand I then crosspost, to try to, to relevant comms; for the particular fandom and or character or pairing, for the place I got the prompt from, for comms for small fandoms, and so on.
I wasn't always this organised, and still have a backlog of fic to upload to other sites. I realise now that doing all the posting in one go is far more efficient, plus, when I do post to communites with all the possible links, it gives people choices about where to read the fic; different sites have their own pros and cons.
I do sometimes get anxious about posting; it feels like self-promotion, something I don't like doing. And in a small fandom there's a risk of being labelled 'that author' – the one who apparently posts too much, and/or isn't very good. Again, doing the all cross-posting at once can help. I don't get time to worry about how I'm being perceived if I'm just doing what has to be done in one fell swoop :D
( rest of the days )
