Question for netfanfiction archive users

[scarfman]

I've never signed up at Fanfiction.net because I always archived my stuff at my own website (or, since that diskspace quota filled, here at LJ), and that largely because I like to keep control of presentation. Would it be worthwhile to sign up at FFnet for the prospect of wider exposure? Would it be kosher to sign up at FFnet but upload only a representative selection of my stuff, and then link back to my real archives?

Teaspoon, same questions.

I used to post some of my stuff over at ff.net but I honestly haven't bothered in some time, largely because I tend to get better feedback from my lj friends and various communities that I share my work with. I'm not sure what the state of ff.net is lately, but I've noticed other authors who link to a website with a more extensive listing of works there and no one seems to be sending them any flames so I don't think that it would be a problem really.

For FF.net, I'd say that that's a fine way to go about it- I know people who've gotten tired of the adult content restrictions on the site. Just stick a link to your own archives/pieces in your user profile.

I don't think there's any problem with doing that on Teaspoon. I only have a handful of drabbles there.

Though uploading part 1 of a multi-part story and adding "Go here to read the rest" at the end might rile people. I don't think it's ever come up. :)

My samples would be full stories. Because I don't want to have to import all of ten years' work.

That sounds fine to me. :)
