Posting 'Classic' Nfic - 09/02/05 09:29 AM
And by classic, I mean old. <g> This is prompted by an email I received this morning from someone requesting that I repost some of my very, very old nfic romps from years ago (Moving the Earth, Challenge Clark etc) here in the nfic section of the mbs.
Well, I have no real objections to that plan, but I'm not sure this is needed. I mean, I understand what I get out of it. Hopefully more feedback. And the same for other authors who could also fit into this repost category.
But I'm not sure I see what benefit readers would get. These stories were first posted many years ago on one of the earliest messageboards and they are currently able to be read at Annesplace for anyone interested in checking them out, as is most of the fandom's nfic, classic or modern. So it's not as though they've vanished from view and aren't online somewhere any more.
And if anyone wanted to offer up feedback on these old stories now, my eddress isn't hard to find. (And, no, I really, really don't mind anyone mailing me now with feedback on a story written years ago. Trust me on this one. )
So would there be any point to doing this?
EDIT: Sorry for the 'no vote, no view' thing. Must have missed the option that turned that off. :p
