where to post question...
Apr. 17th, 2005 10:14 pmHey, all of you lovely people who have me friended -- how do you decide where to post your stories? I've joined so many LJ and Yahoo groups that I'm suddenly realizing that if I post everything I write *everywhere* then I'm gong to be posting to 4 LJ communities, 7 Yahoo groups, 2 post-it-yourself web archives, and my own LJ and website. 11 posts, total.
Seems like overkill to me, not to mention a good way to piss people off.
Even taking into consideration that some fics don't go in some communities/groups, it's still a lot. So how do you all decide where to post? I don't want to spam the same people over and over again, but I would like to inflict my writings on as many different people as possible.
Thoughts/suggestions/curses/flames? Anyone? Help?
(and FYI - "The Right Fit" is complete and I'll be posting one chapter a day, so don't worry about having to wait forever like you did with EE. *g*)

hope that helps in some way.
you still end up posting something everywhere like but i try and limit where i post if at all possible
