Today, while baby-sitting Pae,  [he's beginning to be a bit of a naughty boy with his stitches and is a complete nightmare with the plastic collar that is supposed to stop him doing that]  I caught up with a few things on the computer including  posting a story at fanfiction.net. Not exactly earth shattering news, you might well think, but I can't believe I've actually managed it. The site has always been a complete mystery to me, so much so that I  usually give up on even finding the simple things like 'home' and the few stories I've read there have mostly been recs where I needed do no more than simply follow a link. So it's quite an achievement for me, though whether I would ever manage to figure out how to post a multi-chapter story like  'A of A' , is another matter again.  Also, since I know there are all types of stories on there, the good and the bad as well as the down right eye-popping,  it does feel a bit like venturing deep into the Edhel Duath and wondering what I'm going to run into when I get there! 

 But at least, as of today,  the site is on my favourites list and I no longer have to google to find it.

Congrats! For me ff.net is a pita because it's so complicated to upload and edit things. I used to post there but gave up a long time ago. My "home" is SoA since, as you already said, it's easy and user friendly, and sometimes I also post at HASA, where I am a volunteer, but I forget it as often as not.

I remember my time at ff.net when I was very new to the fandom. I read every story however bad that featured my favourite characters and was privy to lots of things over the years.

Oh I'm so pleased I'm not the only one who finds ff.net hard going! I don't think I would have perservered with fan fic at all if SoA wasn't so welcoming to readers. I've tried to sign up to HASA but I've never got anywhere with it. It doesn't seem to be as active a site as SOA.
