(my monthly de-lurking, it seems...)
OK, I agree with most of you on the Omnific subject. Most of these stories would not hold much interest for me without the characters that brought me to TWI FFn in the first place, so I doubt I will spend money on them.
So, what do you think about sites like www.textnovel.com? Will you follow a story that you began reading in a FFn fandom to a non-FFn site?
There are a few FFn authors that have pulled their stories from FFn, changed the names and removed the Twi-ness of them, and posted at Textnovel.
The FF author known as Saewod is rewriting her stories and posting them under profile name Vi_ZoMi.
I have been reading "Live in Position" over there (with the new character names). I actually started it again from the beginning, trying to get used to the new character names, but honestly, in my head, I keep hearing the orig Twi names. But I want to know how the story plays out, so I'm reading it.
And today, the first two chapters of "Vegas Follows You Home" were posted. This used to be the story "What Happens in Vegas Follows You Home." And I'm going to read that one too.
Am I a sucker? Or just can't let go? I'm not bashing any author or myself. My fascination with what I term "cheese" is what prompted me to pick up my first Twilight book a couple of years ago. and yet, my cheese craving was not satisfied, which led me to Fanfiction, which brought me to ADF, so it's really a beautiful circle, I think. Is following a couple of authors to a new (non-twi) site just the next step in the evolution?
