Dear Fandom: AO3?

[auronlu]

So. Months of sinus infections and depression later, I am poking my head back into community. Hello, community! Are you still there? Facebook, DW and IJ have eaten some; others are back in the embrace of real life or other fandoms.

My Muse is flatter than a board, although I am eager as ever to post the next part of Love Her and Despair. While I'm having trouble getting the big battle started, some of the best parts are still in my notes. Will anyone still be around to read the last chapter? At this rate, I wonder.

In sniffing around, I noticed a comment from Renay a few months back asking if I was going to be on AO3. Well, it interests me, although getting my Muse (or, for that matter, my sinus infection/depression fogged brain) back matters more.

After much flailing to remember what AO3 stood for (and thus the URL) I signed up, put into the queue. It told me I could expect an answer on July 18. Great! Wait...that's today. This evening, it says I can expect a reply on the 19th. I'm at #65.

If the queue is being emptied on a semi-regular basis (say, once every week or 2), I might as well stand in line. If it isn't, may I beg an invite from someone? I don't know the etiquette here.

Are you sure that you're at the right place? The AO3 waiting list says that there are only 43 people in the queue right now, and they send invites out in batches of thirty-per-day so everybody on it now should get their invites by Thursday.

What is AO3?

And I think you mean ... January?

Plus I'll gladly read any "Love Her and Despair" you have. ^_^

I am still here, with no intention of going anywhere! (You may have stepped out long enough to miss my Facebook rant. DW is somewhat interesting, but it doesn't have critical mass yet. So LJ it is, for me, for fandom, at least for now.)

I assume you mean January 18th/19th and not July -- I'm sure the queue isn't in *that* bad of shape. ;) I don't have any invites right now, but I'm pretty sure that they're still emptying the queue on a regular basis. But let us know when we're in; if an invite turns up between now and then, I can send it your way!

Hahaha, I'm currently on the treatment for depression and also been busying myself with photography and some little modelling. And desperately wanted to write ;_;

I'm around, just gotta catch up on where you left off. :D

You should have poked me! I would have given you an invite. :D

(I am really greedy and want all your FF work there!)
