A bit of an odd request

[curuchamion]

So my very first published fanfic, Velocizompire Apocalypse, has apparently been nominated for the First Annual Gatefic Awards.

(No, I don't know for sure who nominated it... but I'd like to say "thank you" here, in the reasonably well-founded suspicion that the nominator will see the thanks. Would you anyone like to confirm or deny complicity, btw? *wink*)

Here's the point of this post: VZA is only posted on FFnet. I've recently been seeing some rumors about FFnet being even more evil than usual. Therefore I'd like to put VZA on Archive Of Our Own (that being apparently the most reliable and reputable archiving location) so I can send the awards team the new link when I confirm.

I am not on AO3. Does anyone seeing this have a spare AO3 invite code, or know of a place I could find one? I have till Sept 10 to confirm my nomination, so I'm in a tad bit of a hurry. I will send virtual cookies! ;-)

Thank you all very much for being my flist! :D *hugs you all*

They're on open invite now (I just noticed myself so I signed up in case I ever end up writing non-Who fics). Go to their website and put your email there, you'll get an invite within a day or so.

And hooray for the nomination! That's always fun. And a bit fuzzy :)

Squee, thank you! :D *is now on waitlist, presumably right after you*

When I joined A03, all I had to do was ask for the code. It took less than a day.

I like their interface, but I've ended up not using the archive; I think I put up maybe three or four items and stopped. There's so little traffic that I have no motivation to post more -- the same experience I had with Fan Nation. Evil or not, ff.net is where the readers are, and I want the readers.

I hadn't heard anything about the Evilness described. I'd like to hear more than a rumour before I assume that ff.net is being actively awful instead of simply lame. (Their author interface stinks, but that's not evil, just lame.)

Truth to tell, I reported a junk story to ff.net a while back, and it's still there; so the single test case I have at hand doesn't support the rumour.

'I reported a junk story to ff.net a while back, and it's still there'

That's good to know; information is always valuable, as they say.

(Was it you that nominated me, btw? I mean, I'm just curious... no need to answer if you'd rather not.)

I wish I could claim the credit! Alas, no. I would have nominated it given the chance, but I didn't have the greatest experience with the Stargate Fan Awards (or whatever they were) a year ago (or was it two years?), and that kind of put me off participating in similar things. (My goodness, I sound cranky today. Need more coffee.)

I know nothing about noms, FF.net or AO3, but I would like to congratulate you on your nomination.

Sounds to me like I should pop to FF and check out this story of yours.

Thank you!

Here's the link: Velocizompire Apocalypse (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4308746/1/Velocizompire_Apocalypse) It's pretty goofy...

Congrats! A toast! A toast to curu!
*waves and sloshes glasses of bubbly cider around*

And vat iz dis eeevil? How are they being stupid evil? *hugs fics protectively*

What I've heard is that there's some group of organized flamers going round reporting all the fics they think should be removed - and, FFnet maintainers being lame, all reported fics are simply deleted out of hand. I expect slashers and/or the great unpunctuated are in more danger than you and me, but I do like to be on the safe side.

*hugs your fics too*

(On another topic, I hope you're setting up your Dreamwidth journal to auto-post back to LJ, pretty please? I don't particularly want to bother with setting up a whole other account just because half my friends are on one site and half on another... but I insist on keeping up with you, Clocket, et alia.)
