Aw. Well, I'm writing some ficlets again now, but while I've been ill I've been gradually putting my DW fic on AO3 and the occasional reviews and slightly more frequent kudos is something I've found v comforting. Especially since Teaspoon seems to be quieter. I think the Classic Who fans who use Teaspoon tend to also use AO3 so there's a lot of the same readership - but I'm sure you will pick up new readers, or people who missed some stories. Pretty much all your fic is so great, anyway.

I think it's worth having things on both, because they can be searched in such different ways. Teaspoon is easier for just sort of wading through a Doctor or author, while the way you can just click on any character or pairing - and not only the few major characters who are listed - and see what else is there, and crossovers and things on AO3 is nice, too. It's v good for browsing (or time-wasting, :lol:)

It is pretty busy at the moment - I'm midway through really getting a lot more of my Teaspoon on it & it keeps crashing. I think, from what I gather, there was the Avengers, and now there's a huge influx of people from the ff.net thing that's going on.

I did use ff.net once, but found it counter-intuitive in every way. Whereas, posting-wise, AO3 has quite a lot of similarities to Teaspoon, which helps a DW fan. :-)

(I've subscribed to you, anyway, now.)

Also, I do hope you feel able to write something again soon - for you, and also because I really miss your fic.
