And then you have to worry about what author name to put, and explaining your choice of formatting

aliaspiral, have you really only written TWO Gokusen fics? Really? It felt like more!

So, I spent this morning in hell; PBWorks has a rich-text format. So in order to move my fic list to LJ I switched to the rich-text format to copy and paste it. THEN I converted that to HTML and spent a good hour or so removing 'span' this and 'font size and colour' that. Thank god for the auto-replace feature ;) It still took ages! And I had to update it since I apparently hadn't in six months. And add THREE new fandoms! Possibly even four actually, I forget now.

So after that, with giving_ground's encouragement, I sat down to watch a bit of mindless POT ;) I got through a whole episode and a half before I started trekking for Jdrama fics. I figured I'd start with a fandom I know so that I'd know characters and spoilers and so forth.

I have this back ache and a huge crick in my neck from all the link finding, formatting, c&p-ing. I've given up working out summaries and ratings for things, because if I haven't read them, or read them a LONG TIME AGO I can't remember or know, and I simply can't sit and read everything just to know the answers. It's looking very pretty, though! What I previewed here in my journal, that is :)

At least when I come to doing my own fics it should be easy; I can pretty much steal the formatting from my fic list. It'll just be whittling out the locked posts (the private ones, unless I open them up and risk people seeing).

I am so tempted to make a comm, let anyone join as a member, and then if anyone wants to compile a directory for their own favoured fandom, give them posting access in order to do so. I should've picked a smaller fandom to start with ;) And the amount of places/comms/websites/etc. to look for possible fics is insane!

Insane, but fun, I swear. I just need to take a little break now *collapses*.

Okay, well, obviously your presence in fandom is so warm it makes me think you write more. Very sly of you! XD

I suppose for now I shouldn't complain; it made compiling your fics nice and quick! XD
