An old fangirl friend reappears
Nov. 14th, 2021 09:11 pmJust an FYI, Aurette has started posting her fics at AO3.
As some of you may recall, three of her fics got booted from FFN several years back in one of their 'purges' and had been archived at another website, fanfic junkies, I think it was. Anyhow it has now disappeared and people were PM'ing her on FFN asking her to post the fics over at AO3. She said she remembered I'd sent her an invite 'a bajillion years ago…' and she'd finally dug it up and figured out how to sign in and post. So she's starting with those fics and I believe eventually plans to repost all her stuff there. (just to be clear this is a reposting of her old fics, not any new stuff).
Still, I was quite happy and surprised to get the notice from AO3 that she had posted there. So I checked back in my email archives, and sent her a note, hoping the addy was still in use (hard for me to believe, but it had been six years since we last corresponded). Luckily it was still active and she responded and explained the reasons she was posting at AO3. I added my 2 cents and said I think it is a much more stable platform than FFN, with no worries of fics being booted or the archive disappearing like so many of the smaller ones have.
Anyway, just want to pass this info on to anyone interested.
ETA: links to the three fics posted at AO3 so far: Free Fall, Side Effects, Practical Solutions
