HALP!!!

Okay, my fellow Trekkies and fandom brethren... I need advice.  I have time, so it's not an emergency, but I refuse to wait until the last stinkin' minute to figure this out.

I have approximately 126K words of (hopefully) decent-quality fanfiction that I would like to present to you in a few short weeks.  I need to figure out how best to present it to you.  How would you prefer to read such a fic? 

I've already figured out that posting to LJ would be evil and cumbersome and difficult.  If I had been posting it in sections, daily, I'd certainly do it that way, but I'm posting this all at once.  Even if I break it into pieces... I can't handle getting that many LJ entries cross-linked and activated within that short amount of time.  And yes, it MUST ALL BE POSTED IN ONE DAY.   Trying to do that on LJ would be evil.  Does. Not. Want!  So... how shall I do this?

Options:

1. Archive.  Broken into short pieces, maybe 10K to 15K each.
2. Archive.  Broken into longer pieces, maybe 20K to 30K each.
3. Self-designed web-page, hosted on a server, kinda like last year, but broken into maybe four pieces.
4. Self-designed web-page, hosted on a server, kinda like last year, but all in one gigantic page of doom.
5. Another amazing idea that Mijan has not yet considered.

If I do an archive, which one?  I'd really rather NOT use fanfiction.net.  It's kinda... just no.  So are there any archives that you guys particularly like?  That are easy to use but not crap-tastic?  That the Jim&Bones folks seem to like?

Also... here's another piece of bait... this isn't just a sequel to last year's fic.  This is part 2 of a trilogy.  Yeah, guys, I'm writing a trilogy.  Each step leads to the next step in character and universe development, and it all goes together.  I've had it planned that way since last year.  Whatever I end up doing in terms of posting technique/location, I'm going to want to post all of my fanfic in this trilogy arc to the same website.  I'll probably post AAtKM there before Crossfire goes up.  But before I do any of that, I need to figure out where and how to make this happen.

Ideas?  ANYONE?

HALP???

Hi, I think this is the first time I have posted here. I'm way excited over the Trilogy news. :D I do have a request or at least something you should consider while posting. I live in China. I have no way to access AAtKM through the website that currently hosts it. I managed it barely through cache-viewing but then China put the stopping on that a month after AAtKM was posted. 126K is mind-blowing but worth it. All of the archives mention so far I have access too. It would be awesome if it was on AO3 because the formatting is really nice and easy on the eyes. (I think the commenting issue is getting better. I know I'm getting better at it.) I promise to comment too. :) Regardless, could you offer your story to be downloaded in one big chunk? Thanks.

Oh my, I never thought about places where certain websites were blocked! Now I feel like an inconsiderate asshole. I'm so sorry! Forgive me? ♥

Do you still have a copy of AAtKM? Would you like me to e-mail you the original file?

I will make sure that I post it on a website that you can read, and also one where you can download the whole thing. I'm going to do that with AAtKM, too.
