Thanks and website update.
Aug. 12th, 2007 06:48 pmFirst, thanks to everyone for all of the birthday wishes! I spent this birthday alone (as MDH is traveling), which actually wasn't so bad. I had a nice quiet day all to myself, something I doubt I'll have again for quite a long time. It was great to keep seeing people on my flist wishing me well. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Happy birthday also to those who share this one with me:mijan, eeyore9990, andcalyxess. And while I'm at it, Happy Birthday to sciencegeek and araythea, who were born on the 11th, and to caithion, batagur, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
elanor_isolda, all of whom have birthdays tomorrow. This was clearly a popular three days for fandomers to be born!
In other news, I have now finished restructuring my website (http://www.queerasjedi.net/emma). The old pages are still there so that no links will be broken, but the link on the front page now goes to my new archive. I installed eFiction 3.3 and uploaded every bit of fic I've ever written. The only fics I didn't upload were the ones from Queer as Jedi, since they're all already hosted on the site. I've also included art when I could. AFAIK, all the artists have given me prior permission to post their stuff on my site, but if you see something of yours there and would rather I take it down, let me know.
It was frightening how much of my fic was only on LJ. I've never been one to cross-post, and so much of it was just on my journal, with a link to the post from the index on my web page. If my LJ had been deleted, a lot of that would have just disappeared. It was also interesting to note that back in 2003, I wasn't posting a lot of fic on my LJ. Most of what I was writing was posted to mailing lists and wound up on associated archives. When I first started posting fic on my LJ, it was with the idea that just a handful of friends would see it and give me constructive feedback, but I had no expectation that lots of people would see it, or would consider it a finished product. That all changed about two weeks into Left My Heart, though. After that, LJ became the primary place I would post new fic, and I don't think I posted on mailing lists again after the summer of 2004. It was interesting to look back over the last five years and see how the way I've used LJ has changed. Sadly, I think it might be about to change again.
