i'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

Question of the day: I know several people on my flist have AO3 accounts, so tell me, do you think it'd be worth it for me to sign up to get one?

I have been posting fic exclusively to LJ for so long that it seems weird to be considering joining an archive of this sort.

In other news, there is no other news. Sorry.

I really, really love AO3. It's kind of a pain and a half uploading all your fic to start out with if you have a lot of it (I... still have barely made a dent in my RENTfic), but the importer makes it... not as big a deal as it could be. And the archive itself is really, really shiny. :D

I am...not exactly the most prolific author around [/understatement] so I'm not too worried about that end of things. I take it the importer is easy to use?

I enjoy AO3 from a reader's perspective because of the tags (which are AWESOME \o/). I just sometimes wish there was more there. Which there won't be until more people sign up, I know, I know. ;)

The importer is super easy to use - you plug in a URL, and it does the rest for you. If it's from LJ or DW, you usually have to clean up some weird HTML left behind by things like tags, but it's not difficult or confusing at all.

And yes, AO3 has... definitely become the first place I go looking for fic to read. There's just... yeah. Not enough. XD
