Website update

calic0catJust finished updating my website with stories by three new guest authors, two GW and one TS (my first TS guest author, in fact!). Stories added: "Coin Operated Boy" by BleedToBlue (GW, 1+/x2, one-shot), "Alone" by Jayni (GW, 1+/x2, WIP, Prologue-Chapter 9), and four TS stories by The Amazing Maurice - "Perfect" (J/B, spirit animals, one-shot), "Lessons Learned: a story in three parts" (J/B, angst/humour, get-together, one-shot), "Light Up My Room" (J/B, spirit animals, angst/humour, first time, one-shot), and "Alpha" (gen, angst/humour, Sen Too crossover with Discworld, one-shot).
I hope to eventually add more TS fics by guest authors, but it won't happen very quickly since most TS authors are archived at 852 Prospect and I'm a bit undecided as to whether to bother requesting archive permission when the stories are already at a major archive. Plus, the TS fandom doesn't seem to have the same approach to archiving stories as the GW fandom does. Most TS authors seem to post their stories to one major archive (852 for slash) and possibly to their own LJ and/or site, but there isn't the same proliferation of smaller archives with overlapping content that flourish in the GW fandom, so I'm not too sure that very many TS authors would even be receptive to having specific fics archived elsewhere.

It's just going to be a little tougher to choose which stories to request, since most of them are already on a major fandom-specific archive so I can't use that as a way to help determine which fics to request, as I did when I started archiving GW guest fics. Since I'll have to work the archive stuff in around my own writing, it's going to take a while to get things rolling.

Don't worry, I'm definitely still working on my own GW stories. Hopefully, I'll have the next "Kindergarten Heero" ready sometime this month. *crosses fingers* Most of the other things that I'm working on won't be posted till they're complete; four GW stories and one TS story are actually fic-for-donation stories, so they'll go to their respective requesters before they get posted for everyone else to read.
