X-parrot fic indexing

For future reference, because I am so very terrible at updating my webpage (at this point I think I might just avoid it until I can find a nice cgi or php archiving script that'd let me upload new stories with minimum fuss & bother, preferably with tagging features. Of course that'd rely on me being able to get cgi working on my site; previous attempts have been less than successful.)

Anyhoo, I am now going to be indexing my fic on del.icio.us, where it's all nice and tagged and sorted and easy-to-find. I've only bothered indexing the fic I've posted since last May, when I last updated my webpage with almost all of my Smallville. All SGA fic and various others can be found listed here:

Index for X-parrot's fanfic [del.icio.us: xparrot_fic]

Enjoy!

I've also been using del.icio.us to compile recs for half a year; it's erratic and incomplete as I often forget to tag things I love, but for those interested:

Hee, glad you appreciate! I love people being able to read my stuff...I'm just terribly lazy about it! ^^;

Give me fic indexes and recs compilations and I'm happy. *is a bit of a lists ho*

Really, I appreciate people who take the time to set up this stuff. I guess it takes an author to understand writing categories and know which tag goes with what fic. Even as a long-time fanfic reader (if ten years is long enough), I still have trouble with labels. :D

I often feel like I have no idea how to categorize fic myself - either my own or recs, I just sorta guess, and even that I forget to do sometimes. Heck, I've got stories I can't even narrow down to gen or slash! So mostly I just muddle along guessing anyway...

I don't know if you've seen this, or if you could use it, but I stumbled over this link and thought of you.

*laughs* I know that author (actually I just found out that I knew her/knew of her, way back in X-files, but...fandom is such a small world!) but I hadn't seen that before! Yup...you can see why I'd get into SGA fandom, this being the order of the day (well, actually yes-and-no, because while I wholeheartedly approve of Whump (umm is that a word seen in fandom outside SG, do you know? I can't recall it in RGB myself, though we definitely committed the activity...) I prefer certain other chars being whumped more...)

...I have now exhausted my parentheses quota for the day! (though I'll waste a few more to apologize for my total lack of commenting lately, I've been a wee bit distracted and have been terrible about commenting to anyone's posts! Gotta get better about that...)

This was hysterical! Got my day off to a smiling start.

Xparrot, under the Humor section on her SGA fic page this author also has a "Run, John, Run" story written, she says, as a four-year-old's introduction to Shep Whump, complete with cartoon illustrations and instructions to make a whumpable John pupet, which is also quite hysterical. But I do love the story generator best, I think.
