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.

Everyone here knows how good I am with anything related to computers ;), but I've never had a problem with ff.net. For whatever reason, I've always found it very easy to post there. And I've never hesitated to—I’ve never understood why the good writers should be scared off by the Leggy-lovin' suethors. I also always get the most reviews at ff.net (and I post almost every where— SoA, OSA, LoTRff, Naice a Nilme, HASA....)

Now HASA, on the other hand, is my nightmare site. I can not get anything to ever post properly there.

It's interesting, we all seem to have our pet likes and dislikes so I guess it's just as well there are so many sites to choose from. And the only way to find out if a site works for you is to dive in and see. My first impressions of ff.net are that it is a lot more complicated than SoA which is the only other site I've posted at so far.
