While I haven't officially participate in a Fic Rush yet, I can't resist this poll. :) Hope this is okay.

I post my stuff in all kinds of places, although I have to say that I don't think it's very useful. I do it just because I guess. Anyway, here's a list of places where I post my fic:

1. LiveJournal


2. Dreamwidth


3. AO3


4. Fanfiction.net


5. InsaneJournal (http://traycer.insanejournal.com/) - an archive of all the fic I have in my LJ/DW accounts, sort of a mirror journal for fic only.


6. A few LJ comms that require the fic to be posted there due to a challenge. This is rare. I prefer to post a link to my LJ if at all possible.

(Just as an aside, I do post those links to various fanfic archives on LJ. Don't know if it helps, but it's almost like advertising, so I go for it. )

I've never heard of Teaspoon. Is that a social media site? Or just an archive, like ff.net?

'Teaspoon' (or more properly A Teaspoon and an Open Mind) is the fic archive for Doctor Who fic of all eras. It does sound very strange when just referred to offhand like that, but those of us in DW fandom will keep doing it! :-) (It's from a Fourth Doctor quote: "Oh, I had a few things he didn't, like a teaspoon and an open mind.")

So you wouldn't use it unless you wrote any sort of DW stuff.

Well that explains why I've never heard of it. :) Thanks for explaining it to me!!

My apologies for being unintentionally obscure! The original core group on this comm were mostly Doctor Who fen and writers, with the result that the majority of the 'archive' items from the old 'fic gallery' post were on Teaspoon, or might be.

I've been luring folks in from other fandoms since I joined, so as not to be qutie so badly outnumbered!

...You could always start writing Doctor Who fic! You won't be badly outnumbered that way, too :D

Lordy, lassie, I was doing that back in 1983!

Do you know how many Doctors there have been since 1983?!?! :P

[lolmac]

Yes.
