I received this message today. I’ll be checking out some of these websites at a later date and will probably migrate to one of them soon. Just spreading the word.
I’ve also redone the links to actually link to the websites (since you can’t link on FF.Net’s PM feature), so if it looks a little untidy, that’s why.
———————
They’re deleting everything with graphic sex, violence, etc, along with anything with song lyrics and a bunch of other things. I hope you have a backup somewhere just in case. I’d hate to lose your works.
There’s more information at the petition link and on the ff homepage there’s a notice from June 4th that is in response to people whose works got deleted complaining.
Petition to FF.Net to stop the upheval.
I’ve used
harrypotterfanfiction
grangerenchanted and other fansites like
mugglenet and
the-leaky-cauldron have a fanfiction area.
Archive Of Our Own is looking brilliant but it’s an invitation-only BETA, so I’m not too sure about that- if you can get an invitation (the waiting list was until september when I joined) then by all means post there.
AnneM.Oliver told me about
TheMapleBookshelf, which has literally just opened and it quite empty, it’s also in BETA but it’s easier to post and it’s well organised.
And then there’s posting to LiveJournal, DeviantArt, Tumblr, etc.
but I also looked this up:
squidoo and it’s a pretty lengthy list, perhaps you’ll find what you’re looking for there, if nowhere else, or maybe you’ll find a site elsewhere.
OH, and I also found these sites
TheWritersCoffeeShop and
YourFanfiction and
Underground: A Labyrinth Fanfiction Archive if you like
Thanks for your time!
PS- pass the message along? Thanks! ^^
I also have 5 invitations to AO3 up for grabs if anyone wants them. I only ask that you actually post there, as I wouldn’t want these memberships to go to waste. Just send me an ask if you’re interested.
