If you haven't previously read any of my fanfiction -- the stories are mostly 'slice-of-life', in which I focus on the friendship between Jim and Blair. Other aspects such as 'the sentinel and guide thing', action, angst, or h/c are sprinkled lightly throughout, if they are present at all; expect considerable conversation with a few cuss-words. Most of these stories are gen, and suitable for the average 10-year-old. The few slash stories are clearly marked.
For many people, LiveJournal and/or Dreamwidth are comfortable formats in which we can experiment with different "looks" and practice basic HTML-coding. We have control over our own pages, without needing to depend on another person -- who may already be stressed for time -- to format and upload our fanfiction and keep a website running. I first saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
orion2303 institute a separate, fic-dedicated journal, and followed her example; since then, many authors have done the same in LJ and DW. At the time, it was a chance for authors to develop their own "webpage", to play with and control the look of their stories. Since then, sites such as Archive of Our Own and Artifact Storage Room 3 allow authors to upload their own stories, and edit, adjust, or amend them as necessary. But I still like the comfort of my own page here on Dreamwidth.
Author's notes -- a chance to indulge myself talking about how that particular story came to be written -- will be linked at the end of each story; people who aren't interested can avoid them. Feedback is not necessary, but it is treasured, either in comments under the story, or in separate email.
