After our interesting discussion about AO3 yesterday a few people were asking for codes. I think everyone who wanted one got matched with someone who had one (it felt a bit like e-Harmony for awhile there)... but if you are still in need of an invite send me a PM. I have a bunch now.
ALSO
jelazakazone mentioned the handiness of including links back your LJ post in your AO3 fics.
Since most people agreed that they love reading on A03 and kudos are absolutely fantastic BUT when leaving comments, they prefer LJ... So it makes perfect sense to link back to LJ as an end note in you A03 post.
So we should all start doing that, yes??? :D
ALSO: I am in love with these shoes

I just tested it with this one:

And I'm going to go back and do that with all the others I posted.

Date: 2012-03-07 03:31 pm (UTC)Also, when I write for a fest, is about the only time I link back to LJ, thinking it was a bit repetitive on my part to do it on any of the other stories, but I guess not, huh? Thanks for the heads up.

Date: 2012-03-07 07:43 pm (UTC)Also, all the AO3 talk has shamed me into finishing uploading my Merlin fics there and adding links to both LJ and AO3 posts for people to go back and forth. This will be a mission haha. *determined face on*
But yeah, I do love reading on AO3 both onscreen and with their looovely download function.

Date: 2012-03-07 09:28 pm (UTC)Why do people prefer comments on LJ? Is it just the Merlin fandom?
Sherlock fandom, which seems to be primarily based on Tumblr, AO3 and the kink meme doesn't seem to have an LJ presence so maybe it's a particular fandom thing.
