where are people finding new fic?

[netlagd.livejournal.com]

so as we all know, bjfic.net is still down

so this begs the question, where are people going to find new fic? are you going to existing archives, forums, personal journals? Livejournal? Insanejournal? Dreamwidth?

where are people posting the fic that they write?

who new/what new are people finding out there?

mods - feel free to hit me with a wet noodle and take down this post if you deem it inappropriate

I pretty much only go to bjfic and somehow that's enough to keep me constantly reading. Well, between that and the recs I find here :)

I post my fic there, my own LJ, and ff.net. *shrugs*

Posting new fics

[nightvision55.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of new fics on the QAF section of Fanfiction. That's where I'm posting.

Is FFnet allowing NC-17 fic now? They didn't years ago. A lot of writers left there when they imposed the "no sex" rule.

Yep they do now. You have to manually change the search Rating from K->T (which is the forced default) to either ALL or M if you want them though.

Um, still not NC-17. 'M' is the equivalent of an R rated movie. Some nudity may be allowed, but no hard-core porn. You can still get your story removed for it being NC-17 there if someone decided to report your story. It's happened to lots of my old friends there.

[janine42584.livejournal.com]

Huh, really? I could have sworn I'd read true NC-17 (that the author rated M) on FF ... maybe I just got to it before it was pulled. Nevermind my previous comment then :)

[epsylon-1.livejournal.com]

you can post (and read) NC-17 fics on adult-fanfiction.net

Re: Posting new fics

[netfics.livejournal.com]

what is the quality of fan fiction on either of these archives?

does FF have a lot of underage posters who cannot write a simple declarative sentence?

is the adult-fanfiction site all adult R/NC-17 or is it fiction that varies written by adults with more mature story lines?

I hate to say it, but I'm a bit picky - I hate reading wooden fic.

Re: Posting new fics

[epsylon-1.livejournal.com]

sincerely, I think it's mostly bad fics. Well, there ARE good stories, but you have to search =__=

Re: Posting new fics

[netfics.livejournal.com]

that's that I was afraid of

[edom56.livejournal.com]

I post on my own LJ, IJ, DreamWidth, bjfic here, libertyavenue.net, bri-tin.com and Midnightwhisper.ca :)

[girloftheburbs.livejournal.com]

LJ and IJ (qaf_challenges, qaf_scavenger, qaf_retread, getithere, bjfic lj, etc.), Midnight Whispers, and BJFic Yahoo group, Queer Eyes, Across the Pond... I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

There's a new place for fanfic called Archive of Our Own: http://archiveofourown.org/

There's 60 fics on there for QAF right now.

[sahlman.livejournal.com]

Sorry I can't give any good suggestions, but I've been wondering the same thing. It' a good question to ask.
I hope you don't get the wet noodle treatment.

No one has mentioned Moonshadow Tribe yet and they just posted a new Christmas challenge with several new QAF fics.

I also go to bjfic and then just consult my friends page to see who's posted on their LJ page recently.

[girloftheburbs.livejournal.com]

Glad you mentioned this since I visit there frequently too. :) Thank you. *facepalm*

[edom56.livejournal.com]

Just a link to Moonshadow Tribe :)
