When I first got into fandom, I read mostly on individual websites and archives -- this was before LJ and related platforms were popular. Or on things like yahoo groups.
Now, I generally read on LJ simply because I have so little searching time, so I review my F-list for new stories. However, I'm perfectly happy being linked to and reading wherever the story is. I don't bookmark things, generally, so finding stuff is usually my limit. I hate delicious, though -- the only thing I use it for is ego stroking ... I got there to see how many people have linked to my stories.
The first time I read your fic, I saw it on insanejournal, and I couldn't figure out how to comment... and I really wanted to, because I loved it.
I try to bookmark on delicious, but forget 98% of the time and didn't bother because Sam bookmarks the stuff I would, usually and it drives me nuts later when I want to find something I read six months ago. Forget to add things to memories too, which is why I have to search your journal when I want to read the Gwen/Ianto crossdressing story. Which is um, fairly often. I FAIL.
This is why I think the AO3 works better for me (as a place for my fic). It's fiction only, tagged as loaded and helps to curtail my fairly careless archiving style.
Because I have a tendency to scatter my work to the wind ... I've long lost some of my own work in the depths of the internet.
- Your blue shirts (and one green shirt) are folded and on the top shelf of your closet. - Your other blue shirt is in your desk drawer (the deep one). - The SUV has been detailed. - I expect payback for this.
