Things that could be happening

I could be randomly moving out of my apartment this weekend, I could be starting a gallery/art space in the next month, I could be moving to New York by summer. 

Interview...

zaksmith:

Are there any rituals you have when you do art?

Fuck no. I don’t have time for that shit and no real artist does. Pretty is far too harsh a mistress to dick around with cutting the crusts off your peanut butter sandwiches or praying to the four winds or lighting a candle to the ghost of Frida Kahlo—you get up, get the headphones on, make sure you have enough to drink and sit down and put in the hours. Rituals are for rich kids who are more in love with being an artist than making the art.

ANNNND they sold my apartment

Whatever you choose to do, will your ongoing stories still be available to read somewhere online?

Well I’m guessing I’m going to have Haunted City finished and posted in the next month or so and Swallowed by The Whale will be available as a serial on Yaoifix sometime in the spring. Beyond that I’m not sure what I want to do yet.   

To answer your question on lack of fictonpress reviews/signals of life: fictionpress is a site that relies on pretty steady updates. It wasn't always like this, but unless a story is updating once a month, people tend not to review because there are so man

mistressswitch answered: AO3 because there’s fabulous options. also life got super busy. good reviews take time and care. I’d hate to cause insult because I’m rushing.
riverlace said: Um, honestly I’ve stopped commenting as much as I used to. I didn’t feel like I was giving meaningful feedback, and that combined with slower updates from many of my favorite authors (not just you) made me go pretty silent too. I am most likely to reply here on Tumblr,…
neongreengummiebears answered: I don’t go on AFF much anymore because I kind of hate the format. I mostly go on Fictionpress and AO3 (especially AO3. Better search options)

Thanks guys! I am definitely not worried about traffic. If you told me when I started posting online that I’d be getting folks coming through my fic at the rate they do now, I would not have believed it. But maybe that isn’t really in my best interest, especially when all the work is going in one direction? More than anything my relationship with these sites is changing and I might just be ready to try something new.
