May. 28th, 2012 11:56 pmBecause good things always come to an end, our three-day weekend is over. I had a great time ♥ I inserted a lot of studying time but still took the time to kick back and relax, therefore I count this weekend as a win \o/ Yesterday, especially, was fantastic; we spent the afternoon at my sister's and the weather was so gorgeous and we basically spent the afternoon in bathing suits, frolicking in the swimming pool and playing badminton and eating cakes. The kind of afternoon you want to bottle up :-)
Without even the slightest segue, now.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
turps33 reminded me of the 852 Prospect move to AO3 and asked me whether I was going to go and claim my work. I hadn't even thought about it when the move was announced and now I'm wondering what to do. I've posted my Night 'verse over at AO3 because I still have a soft spot for that series and there are a couple of my other TS fanfic that I might add in the future as well but, I'll be honest, I never had any intention of posting all of it to A03.
It's a bit ironical, come to think of it. Up until now I saw AO3 as a way to get a clean slate as far as my fics were concerned; only post the stories that I could re-read without cringing. I'd never planned a whole archive migration ;-)
I guess I need to investigate the whole process, see what it entails precisely. Maybe I can just ask for my stories not to be imported? I'm pretty sure I don't even remember which email address I used back then but proving my identity or my ownership of those stories should be no problem, so.
I know one should never be ashamed of their own work and those older stories are part of my fandom history? But, honestly, I feel so detached from them now. Because I learnt so much since those early days. Just as an example, if I could, I'd go back and delete ALL THE EPITHETS. Omg, there are so many epithets in those older stories. I am deeply sorry, you guys. In my defence, I had no idea that a raging war had been openly declared on epithets when I wrote my fics and - yeah, no, ok, I have no excuse. I do have shame, though ;-)
ETA: Aww but I did find a fic that did not make me cringe. And that I thought was still cute and amusing. So I promptly posted it to A03.andeincascade, it was actually written for you :-)
