-- OK, so I finally got an AO3 account, and have been dutifully archiving stuff. (Pretty much all non-HP fic will eventually end up over there, plus, I guess, anything HP that I wrote after I more or less abandoned FictionAlley.) I'd totally forgotten how nerve-wracking the whole archive thing was. You can, like, see how many hits everything has, and that's something I'd rather not know a fair bit of the time. Still, it's probably something I should have done ages ago -- it's just that I am not very good at order and tidiness, being the sort of person who uses chairs as coat-racks and the living room table as a bookcase, and I have a bad habit of thinking of fanfic as fundamentally ephemeral and not the sort of thing anyone would ever want to find later.

-- I finally got around to reading those Vorkosigan saga books everyone kept telling me to read, and OMG THEY HAVE EATEN MY BRAIN. (Honestly, reading this series has probably been the best thing about an otherwise hellish semester.) There will definitely be fic. (I read them because someone gave a paper at Kalamazoo which argued that they were reworking Richard III, which is true, but why did they NOT mention they were ALSO about gender and performativity and all kinds of other things that are total CRACK if you're a Shakespearean?)

-- THE GLOBE IS DOING MEASURE FOR MEASURE. I don't think I will get to see it in person, alas, but they seem to be pretty good at making their productions available on DVD, and this one in particular would be amazing to have for the Late Shakespeare course, because WHY is there not a contemporary film version of M4M?

Seeing hits won't do wonders for your confidence, and I don't like the kudos thing, but it can't hurt to have an extra place for fanfic. :)

I should probably post some of my fics there. I'll just have to decide what. I know I have fics online still, I should see if I have any "new" (read: older than 5 billion years old) reviews. Some of them were just awful though. (The fics, not the reviews. Well, some of the reviews too, but mostly I just got really weird ones that should have been insulting, but were too funny to be insulting. One person loved to leave me reviews like "this was happy but sad, boring but interesting." I actually kind of miss him or her, in some strange way.)

Oh, I like the kudos thing, but I'm lazy and kind of suck at writing proper reviews.

...The hits do wonders for my confidence, but maybe I just have low standards.
