Fic Corner

[thisbluespirit]

fic_corner | fic_corner, the exchange for YA/children's lit fandoms is running again, and nominations are currently open for it on AO3!

I doubt I'll be able to play again, but it's a lovely exchange to take part in. ♥

So what happened to your Random Pairings post last night? I finished reading it, clicked reply, and found it'd vanished!

I wanted to comment on the beautiful perfection of Silver/Charley Pollard!

I'm sorry! I have been good at not doing that so much lately, but I just posted it and then felt embarrassed and stupid and boring about posting things like that too often and deleted it.

I did keep the pairings, though! I could post it again?

Aw... Your Random Pairing Generator posts are always such fun, not boring at all... But you don't have to, if you don't feel like it. I've now told you what I wanted to say.

[thisbluespirit]

Aww. ♥

There were some fun ones in there, so I probably will. I just feel like I might post something more interesting today, except this is very likely me deluding myself! ;-)

*giggles* I shall still ♥ you!

If you ever get the urge to write Silver & Charley fic (even if it's only a flash fic) please give in to it! :D

Hee, okay! :-)

Are many of these fic things AO3-based these days, or is it just that you tend to advertise those ones more, being as it's one of your hang outs? I don't do exchanges anyway, but lately I'm feeling even more like a relic of a previous era than usual! :)

[thisbluespirit]

A lot of exchanges in particular are AO3 based, because, being fan-run, it was set up to enable people to run things on them & it makes it easier on the mods. They can let the software run matches rather than go through everybody's emails trying to do it by hand. Plus, people are split between multiple platforms, but there's a lot of shared use of AO3, so you can crosspost admin stuff across Tumblr, Dreamwidth and LJ, but still run it in one place.

So it's just really useful for multi-fandom exchanges in particular? Things within one fandom, or just ficathons/fests are more likely to be still run via LJ or Dreamwidth or Tumblr and just have an AO3 collection (or not).

Gotcha. That makes sense!
