All Caught Up!

[bradygirl_12]

Well, it's nice to be just about all caught up on archiving fiction. My usual pattern is 1) Post to my LJ, 2) Post to appropriate LJ community (either WF or We_Love_Dick), 3) Post to Superman/Batman Archive, and 4) Post to WWOMB.

The Wonderful World of Makebelieve Archive has every fandom you can imagine! Or close to it, anyway. :) I also like both WWOMB and S/B allowing readers to give reviews, and the read count on each story is gratifying. I've had over 70 viewings on some stories over on WWOMB! "Bright Laughter", my Clark/Dick fic, has 34 people eyeballing it already! And I just posted it yesterday! I was pleased to see the Batman/Robin fic, "Light To The Dark", get 71 viewings so far. More people tend to comment on my S/B fic on my journal and on WF so it's nice to see the other pairings get some action. ;)

I guess I'm just an archivist at heart! :)

It's funny, but I tend to forget that there are a *lot* of people who just...aren't on LJ--for whatever reason. I've been surprised by the number of people who have registered at the S/B archive that I've never seen around the fandom before. Archives are important cogs in keeping a fandom vibrant, I guess, and still hold a very relevant place in fandom maintenance. Plus, it is great when the archive has a stats program so you can see readership.

So I share your joy. LOL

Yes, the stats program is a great feature. I love the S/B Archive. It's beautifully designed and easy to use as both writer and reader. I too have noticed new names there and have read some stories I haven't seen before.

It *is* easy to forget about people not being on LJ. Before I came on board, I was missing a lot of fic! Before LJ, most retrieval methods were via lists or archives. So it's all good! :)
