Yep, Another Poll

This is mostly just to help me make up my mind on where I should post my online novel, since I can't decide.

depends on what you want - I love reading stories over on AO3... but well - depending on how much response you want lj might be a better bet (shorter parts = easier to reply and find spesific things+... In general AO3 is not good for private replies... just easier in many ways with lj and for me its easier to comment on lj rather than just leave a kudos on AO3...)... So... ...if you post a link from here or even on lj then wordpress is an option... in my opinion at least... :)

fictionpress is good for original fiction.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

I do have a Fictionpress account but I want this story to have its own space so that it doesn't get lost in a sea of other fic. I do plan on posting it on Fictionpress, but only after it's been up on it's own site for a while.

Does AO3 even have a place for original works? I looked at one time but could never find anything.

I'm mostly just looking for a place to both post the story and customize around the story, which both LJ and Wordpress will allow me to do. This poll is mostly just to help me make up my mind on which to go for. Feedback... well, while feedback will be allowed, overall it's not the biggest priority.

I read more LJ, but I think Wordpress is considered a bit more high-brow. If you make the story it's own journal or community, I think LJ would be a great place to post it.

For Ao3 - http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Original%20Work/works (yes they do have the tag...) :)

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

On, nifty! I do plan on posting the story on other sites once it's been up at the official site for a while, so this will definitely come in handy.

[junnights.livejournal.com]

:D Will read it regardless (but can't wait until its been posted on AO3):D:D:D

What do you mean by "customize around the story"?

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Add pictures within the story, have background art based on the story, maybe have discussion posts, and so on. It's why I don't want to post to places like AO3 or Fictionpress, because I want the story to be able to have its own space where I can customize things how I want, and where it won't get lost among thousands of other fic.

[bratfarrar]

In that case, I'd say Wordpress, because you have the options of page vs. post, and you can do all sorts of things with the menus that aren't available on LJ. Not to mention it has a much more user-friendly "insert/manage media" setup.

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

Very true, plus I believe they allow longer content. I'd forgotten that LJ tends to limit the word count of a post. It was part of why I stopped posting fic, here.
