England trip? That's exciting :) And parade and concerts, are you watching or performing?

So you're everywhere, too! ;) Pretty much agreeing… I used to be a FF kind of girl, but I've mostly moved on to LJ and AO3 now, especially since I moved into the Who fandom (I was mostly into Harry Potter before).

From:

Yup! First trip abroad ever, for both me and my friend. It's going to be awesome!

Performing - I'm in a marching band (picture a bunch of silly people, ages 40 to 70, just walking along having fun), though I'm also in other concert bands, too. I hadn't played music since high school, but I joined a concert band a few years ago and am loving it!

I try to post in a lot of places. Though I write for myself, I enjoy having people read what I write. I need to stop expanding to more sites, though, because when I find a typo, it is such a PAIN to go correct it on five different sites! :D

Oh, that's so exciting :) Where are you from?

The marching band sounds great!

Hahaha, same here! Posting takes longer and longer, too… but a wider readership makes it worth the trouble! ;)

From:

Oregon, USA. I guess I lied a little bit. I went to Canada last March, to test out my new passport. I'll have to write a post about that little adventure soon.

From:

Okay :) I kind of assumed—it's a lot easier for Europeans to go abroad than Americans, except when said Americans are close enough to a border…

From:

Yeah, we're discovering that, actually. Since the DW Experience is going to be closed the entire time we're there (*sob*), we crossed Cardiff off the itinerary, and in looking at where we might go instead, we realized we could actually go to France, Belgium, the Netherlands, or even Germany for a couple of days. It's so easy to just jump around in Europe!

Oh, that's sad :/ But yeah, the visiting several countries will make up for it! I hope you have a great time!

From:

Oh, we're going to love it! We're both Anglophiles, so while missing the Doctor Who stuff will be sad, there's so much more that we want to see and do. Thanks! :)

From:

So getting that. I would love to visit England—or any other country for that matter :)

From:

I do love how I can post here and just...import to AO3, remove my warnings from here, move them to my End Notes and just POST. So fast...rather awesome, lol!! Then I clone the entry to Teaspoon. I kinda cheat to do these things.

*HUGS*

From:

I had no idea you could import from here to AO3! That would make things a lot easier! Thanks! I go backwards. Post to ffnet first, because it's the weird one. Then post to Teaspoon. Then copy the text there (since it has all the markup done) and paste to LJ and AO3. And then paste to dA and fix all the markup in Stash writer.

From:

Yup! *Beams* I always post to Dreamwidth first (I just copy my HTML'd documents and paste it into the post-section, then come to ElJay and fix some of the links (like lj-comms), then I go to AO3, Import, clean it up, cheat by copy/pasting from AO3 to Teaspoon. Then I grab the End Notes (warnings, disclaimers, etc) from AO3, paste it into my word doc, remove the HTML, load it into FF.Net, check it and post from there.

Definitely have a system - and FF.Net is the last place I post to (just because fixing typos and stuff can be such a pain here. Not hard, just tedious...nevertheless, I always wind up having to fix SOMETHING).

Three quarters of my posting strategy is making sure I have as little to change as possible, lol!! I then go and take a template that I have cobbled together in my documents, put in the relative info and links and post to comms here at ElJay. Sounds ridiculous, but saves loads of time, really.

*HUGS*

From:

Oh, I need to make templates. Every time I post something here, I go back to a similar entry and edit it, to copy the header and footer into the new post. What a waste of effort. :P

Ah, Dreamwidth. I thought about creating an account there, but I think I've really hit my limit on places I can keep up with.

From:

Here you go sweetie...just put this in a text doc and it is good to go (feel free to make changes as you see fit) I leave the info (title, wordcount, etc) until the next fic, just so I have everything preplaced without messing up the html coding:

Title(Gen/Characters/PG)

<8b>Title: Title
<8b>Author: Shivver13
<8b>Genre: Gen
<8b>Characters/Pairing: Characters
<8b>Rating: PG
<8b>Wordcount: 0000
<8b>Warnings: genres, character study, etc
<8b>Summary: <8i>Put summary here
Disclaimer(s): <8i>I do not own the scrumptious Doctor or his lovely companions. That honor goes to the BBC and (for now) the fantastic S. Moffat. The only thing that belongs to me is this fiction - and I am making no profit. Only playing about! (Or place any disclaimer you think works)

<8center><8a href="URL here"8><8b>Teaser here.

*Just remove the 8*

I just use if for fic, really. I've been going through steadily wiping out misc. posts off and on for the last year. I never do anything there...just use it as fic-backup.

*HUGS*

Thanks! Saved here at home; gotta remember to do this at work, too (I do way too much fanfic stuff while I'm at work).
