Drabbling and pimping, scribbling and skimping

I has a H/D drabble. I don't know where this angsty thing came from. The prompt for [livejournal.com profile] hd100 was secret.

In other news, I'm still busy. DAMNIT! But I'm currently trying to catch up with my flist and write two gift!ficlets.

[livejournal.com profile] anelma_unelma, your fic is planned out and half-written and it's called: How Draco Malfoy Lost His Straight (Presuming He Had Any)

Srsly.

And [livejournal.com profile] kaykayen, I totally had an epiphany. Mirror!sex, but with vampire!Harry who has no reflection. :D :D :D

Ahem. I have a question.

Do YOU (writers) post your stories on Fanfiction.net? If yes, do you post your more explicit stories there? I mean, obviously it's not a place where you post PWPs and outright porn, but where exactly is the limit? And are you concerned about limits? I ask because I've seen a lot of fairly explicit stories there, and I thought that was a no-no. But then again, stories I've seen, although they were explicit, they were ... tame? But perhaps my definition of tame is fucked up?

*puts pimp hat on*

Art makes me happy.

[livejournal.com profile] leochi drew this for me (well, actually for my sister the Snape fan) and it's absolutely gorgeous (naturally, duh). Brooding, miserable Snape drinking whiskey! ♥♥♥

And if for some bizarre reason you haven't seen [livejournal.com profile] heathen_ursidae's comic Malfoy's Malady: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4. Well then go see it now! It's hilarious beyond belief. Also, NWS!

Also, do you want to read Seducing Draco Malfoy in Spanish? Because you can thanks to [livejournal.com profile] helenadax!

That's it. I'm gonna go now and make Draco realize he's not straight.

God. Who knows what the dealio with FF.net is? I post there (albeit grudgingly now), because that's where I started; right before FF.net went cock-up and started being where all the crap writing is. There's still some old good stuff on there, and some people who have been around forever I still watch, who still write well, but generally? Blah.

I semi-censor all of the stuff I post (if it has that kind of content) just because I don't want to go there. I have seen some explicit stuff that either never got purged, or because no one there gives a shit anymore. Most everyone thinks it's BS anyway. Though FictionAlley still has issues with it too: no acutal mentions of the cock, please! Er...yeah, okay, whatever. Their posting system is annoying enough without mods thinking they're allowed to gank you on every, single, little frakking thing. Ahem. 'Scuse me while I try not to rant.

But I just really don't want to go there; getting found by crazy parents or otherwise. I just tell people to read the good stuff on my site. It may not be password-protected, but I've got warnings, and it's not outright porn with pics and everything, so if anyone has a problem with it, they can get stuffed. My web host doesn't have a problem with it.
READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Well, I don't mind their rules. It's their site, but well, I'm like, you know, a sheep. Greedy for reviews sheep. And if everybody else is doing it, I wanna do it to.

As long as I can get away with it. :D

I have a nasty feeling that someone will report me like right away! :D

Hahaha! Yeah, I'm a review whore too. I still post at FF.net because I know a lot of people watch me there. And I watch people. I do, generally, like their system of uploading and whatnot. I just wish there wasn't so much crap populating the site. I've never really posted on LJ, though I know there are tons of people doing it, and I'm sure I'd get a lot of reviews. I think I'll do like Cheryl and put it on my site, but change my "review" thing to link back to a post on LJ. I think lot of people would rather do that than have to email me, though I have people read it at my site and then go back to FF.net, or Schnoogle or wherever and post a review. Ah, such diligence! :D Makes me happy.

*nods* That's what I did too. But I'm lazy about posting there. 'Sides, that's just for archiving purposes, I'm talking MOAR feedback here! :D

I just wish there wasn't so much crap populating the site.

Well, I don't actually read stories there. Just now I stalked Cheryl and posted my first review. :D And I've had that account for an age.

...that's just for archiving purposes, I'm talking MOAR feedback here!

Haha, yeah. The funny thing is, the reason I still post and have my FF.net account is for archiving purposes. Like...I'll probably take it all down eventually, but there are dates and originals and whatnot on mine. I'd actually probably get more feedback if I actually said that I posted something on LJ when I put it on my site. I use my site because I don't have to worry about content, and I don't have to format anything beyond for the page, and I can add or change or correct anything easily. :D I'm a web designer by trade, so this, perhaps seems easier to me.

I only read stories on FF.net if it's of an author I've been watching forever, and I haven't bothered looking for them anywhere else.

OMG - this all reminds me. I've got to finish posting on Skyehawke! *scurries off*
