Looking for Portacura or the FictionPress Account?
Please be aware, my account got removed from the fictionpress archives. I have nothing bad to say about the site, and in fact I was very happy there. However, considering the subject matter I write about, it was probably only a matter of time before someone freaked out. No big deal.
Due to requests and needing a place to host my work, I have made a new home for it, a personal home where no one can take it down. It can be found here:
http://betagrimm.blogspot.com/
The plus to this is that it is private, exclusive only to people who enjoy the work, and cannot be cached by search engines. The latter is a bonus to me, because it means if I want to sell my work later on I can. All you would-be writers, please keep in mind the moment a search engine gets a hold of a story it could be considered "self-published," and as such be unable to be published again through a professional company.
The other plus is that I'm planning on putting more on the blog. That would be edits and improvements to Portacura as well as posting other stories I am in progress of writing. So...more goodies all around.
The drawback is that, unlike FictionPress and other such sites, you can't just browse and post anonymously. Unfortunately, I think you need a Gmail ID (Gmail accounts are free if you don't have one), and I have to okay your ID. Its just a limitation of the system, and one that doesn't help me put on my smiley face, but what are you gonna do? Out of the many places I poked about the net for possibilities, this is one of the best I found.
However, I am open to suggestions for anything more user friendly.
I also have a secondary LiveJournal account I could set up for the stories, but again, in order to not be cached I'd probably need to make it friends only. Still, if you already have an LJ account it might be easier. If I get requests to do this, I will.
All my old readers are welcome. Just drop me an email at:
katfireblade@livejournal.com
Give me you Gmail address and I'll add you. I promise not to email you anything more than the confirmation that you were added.
You can also post your info in an anonymous comment here. Anon comments are screened due to issues on my LJ account ages ago, and in this case that is very useful. It means you can post your info securely knowing only I will see it. I will delete any comments that contain personal info without unscreening.
So...that's it. Again, open to suggestions if you can think of any easier way to do this. Sorry about vanishing so abruptly, I didn't meant to, and I couldn't even post an explanation as to why. That's my only complaint--I wish I could have.
And thanks to everyone who read. You have no idea how much your support kept me motivated and positive about the story, or how many days I re-read your compliments. Even if you choose no longer to be a reader, I thank you for the time you did give me. :)
