Thank you to all the folks who offered me AO3 invites.  I finally accepted the invite from [livejournal.com profile] weepingnaiad , mostly because she commented right about the time I decided I ought to go for it. 

Anyway, here's my account:  http://archiveofourown.org/users/Mijan/pseuds/Mijan

And here's the link where I'm going to be posting "Crossfire" in a couple of weeks:  http://archiveofourown.org/series/5229

I'll be posting it as part of my "Academy Series."  I might come up with a cooler name for the trilogy eventually, but for now... good enough.  I posted AAtKM there as a test-run.  I wanted to check out the posting process, and see how the coding worked. 

I strongly, STRONGLY dislike how most archives take a double-return and turn it into THREE full spaces between paragraphs instead of one.  It makes the text seem too spread out.  However, when you've already typed your entire document using the double-space between paragraphs, it's hard to remove them all.  SO!  I entered my fic as rich text, then converted it to HTML on their page.  I copied the HTML, and then used search-replace remove all of the "extra" hard returns.  I pasted that BACK into the HTML screen, and checked the spacing.

And thus, I got a perfectly space fic!  Voila! 

Anyway, if anyone wants to download AAtKM directly, it's available now from AO3.  I'm going to post all of my fics there eventually.

Also, in addition to posting to AO3, I AM going to post "Crossfire" to my LJ.  I'm going to use the "create locked posts" technique that several people suggested.  I hope people will come back to my LJ to post comments though.  I like my LJ.  It's friendly.

Hailing the crew of the USS Macchiato!

It's been far too long since we've had a party away mission.  I posted a poll on the ship's LJ community yesterday.  We've got 9 people of replying.  Thus far, the most popular date for the party seems like November 6th, with Seven of Nine people voting for that date.  (Slap me for that one later.)  Come on, guys - we have 44 members of the crew.  Granted, some folks live too far away to come very often, but we should be getting more replies than this!  And after this event, the next big event is the HOLIDAY PARTY.  Last year, we had an attendance of 24 people, and our little ship was practically in its infancy at the time.  It was an awesome party, and this year, we need to out-do that.  (Dude, how am I going to fit all these people in my house the Captain's Quarters?)

So, it's time to BOOST THE SIGNAL.  The Captain is alive and functional and is ready to give the "PUNCH IT!" command.  Let's get this ship - the finest ship ever to cruise the galaxy of fandom - back out there and ripping along at Warp Factor 9.

Here's the party planning post:

If you're a member of my crew (or would like to be), and you see this post, please cross-post about this on your LJ.  I want to get the whole crew involved again. 

HAILING FREQUENCIES OPEN!

(Also, I seriously need to review, revise, and update the Ship's Roster.  I remember almost everyone's ship-board positions, but I know I'm forgetting some of them.  That's very bad.  I should be able to remember everyone's duty position.  So I might put out a Ship Roster post soon to get an updated list.)
