Heh. I'm actually on a Ryan/Chad reading kick right now, and seriously loving it (first love drama! Someone's guaranteed to be a virgin at something! I'm all a-flailing, here. *g*) so I wouldn't mind going to whatever East High, and boy, what an uninspired name for a High School Musical school name. *add it to the long list of facepalm-worthy moments those movies have brought*
Oh! I forgot to thank you for the link to your archive, I liked reading some of the stuff there - so many fandoms I love, seriously, so many - though I'm not sure if the stuff I read was yours. So many names, so little memory span on my part. ;-) Still, some good stuff! Just wanted to let you know, as I'd probably forget to FB you otherwise.)
:) I think any high school at any time in history would have been hell for me, so I prefer to watch the shows.
Thanks. All the stories are written by me, except four (one in State of Play, one in The Pretender, one in Hercules/Xena and one in the X files), so you probably read some of mine.
*nods* The House ones were yours then. Loved the idea of the threesome (I'm not much of a House/Wilson lover). ;-)
Is it OK to ask why you don't have the individual story info up where they're linked from? I just found it a bit frustrating to have to go and click on each story to find out what it was about. (Also, you don't have pairings. Sorry to nag at you like this, but I always find those essential when looking at a potential read.) Otherwise, it's an awesome site and I'll be slowly working my through other fandoms, forgive me in advance for sucking in feedbacking them, though.
See, that's why it's so great to get feedback. :) I've never had any suggestions about the site, not like this.
Sure. I think I could work that into the site, eventually. Great. Why didn't I think of that myself? LOL. It's just that I don't always do pairings, but just like when it comes to warnings, spoilers etc, I could leave that space blank if it's a story without any particular pairing. Thanks. :)
*grins* And you're yet another person whom I end up thanking for not biting my head off. :-)
If you allow me to extrapolate a bit on the whole issue of how best to 'present' your fics anywhere, for most readers it'll always be based on: Pairing(s) or Character(s), rating, genre & possible warnings (first time, angst, character death, PWP, specific kink, established relationship, etc) and maybe summary. Though if I like a pairing or character, I might click to read anyway, and you can always add 'spoilers' or gen, het or slash for the genre or pairing if telling in advance really spoils the story.
I don't much care about spoilers, usually, or disclaimers, unless the former are crucial to the fic's plot - knowing which ep or season it focuses on might need to be known for full reading enjoyment, and such.
...and that's about it. As I have one automated archive and a thematic fic collection on WP blogs I kinda had to put a lot of thought into this over the years, though to be frank that was a decade ago when I first took over a fic archive to run on my own. Anyways, good luck with tinkering with your site, and feel free to nugde me if you need another pair of eyes. :-)
