open housing?

People seem to be doing intro posts, but I'm kind of small fry and I don't know that I have many followers, let alone followers who don't know who I am, for values of I = Domenika Marzione. Is there anything you want to know? Maybe I should be demanding you (re-)introduce yourselves instead.  

My fic at AO3, which is a hilariously incomplete list because I'm twenty-plus years into fandom. I have a horribly long list of stuff I need to upload to AO3 because (a) the website I've been graciously hosted at for a long time is going away and (b) I wrote so much OC-heavy fic in my Stargate days and I didn't think it was 'worthy' of going up on AO3 with an SGA tag. I'm a little torn about uploading the really old stuff, like my Homicide fic or stuff from my first go-round with comics fic because I'm honestly a little worried about looking at it. I was never an awful writer, but I'm a better one now. I already have one of my DCU stories going up at AO3 as anonymous because I don't want to look at it. (It's slash!) And we're just going to completely forget that I wrote Prequel SW fic because that is the fandom I deeply regret writing in because I did it for the wrong reasons and tried (and failed) to yank it from M&A fifteen years ago. 

So how about this: you got questions, I presumably got answers. You want to (re-)introduce yourself because it's been a few years, please do and I'll be chuffed to (re-)make your acquaintance. Everyone participates!

Your SGA OCs are very worthy of AO3; I rec them to every newbie to the fandom. Best outsider POV, best original characters, best informative military insight (that SGA in general, canon and fanfic) often lacked. So, while I have them all saved to my Kindle, please share them with others so I know where to direct them in future. :D

Thank you! Really.

I am currently going through my website's archive and uploading the missing stories into an unrevealed collection on AO3 -- I am horrified at the idea of spamming everyone who has a subscription to me with a thousand new fic notifications for a fandom they might not have signed up for and maybe doing it all at once will mean one notification? But then there's all of the drabblefic and unfinished bits and whatnot that never made the website and I am going to have to go through LJ because I had everything tagged and sorted on delicious, but that's no longer of use.

I wish there were some way I could help. I also wish AO3 had been around ten years earlier to make the transition a lot less painful for a lot of writers. So many of my Pinboard links are dead now, and hunting down lost fic has become something of an art form. I've personally saved over 2k SGA fics and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

PS: Pseud change; I used to be mischief5 on LJ. :D

I think I knew about the pseud change because it was an "...oh!!" moment when it happened. It's like realizing tumblr people are people I knew from LJ from something they say or reblog. :)

The formatting is the thing that makes importing to AO3 so hard; LJ to AO3 makes some weird things happen and it's easier to copy-paste, but that in turn presents its own issues.
