I didn't expect to be doing this just when AO3 went down under a DDOS attack--indeed, if I'd been working on it today, the attack would have prevented me from finishing--but I got inspired by melannen's tutorial and made a neocities site for my fanfic. It's very simple! I'm quite pleased with it. I spent a bunch of this weekend messing around with CSS; there are a couple different styles on the website, one default for most of the pages and a different one for fics that have a markedly different vibe (which so far means Americana, apparently). There's something nice about having everything collected in such a straightforward way, and with tidy URLs. If I want to point someone to my Arabella fic, it's at an address that I could just verbally tell them, or type from memory--eccentric-hat.neocities.org/consolations!--rather than at a numerical address I have no hope of remembering.

I haven't ported over my big WIP, but I look forward to being able to format the table of contents in a way that actually shows the way the sections are structured, rather than being obliged to follow AO3's strict linear numbering.

I'm so sorry; clicking on it is giving me security warnings in Safari and "not found" alerts in Firefox.

Oh whoops, that was just a typo in the link. Should be fixed!

It is! The website looks wonderful :)

Like chestnut_pod, I unfortunately get a 404 in the style of your homepage when I click on the link?

The rest of your page looks really nice, though. And I cannot wait for my vacation, so I can start work on my own page :)

Thanks, I have fixed it! I got excited about typing my urls in by hand and didn't check for typos :-p

Been there, know that feeling :)

I have only just been introduced so Patricia C. Wrede's Enchanted Forest series, so in about a week I should be able to read your Enchanted Forest fanfiction! An excellent thing to share another fandom with an excellent writer.

Oh, hooray! I hope you enjoy them. They're formative childhood books for me so I'm not remotely objective about them.
