A pleasant surprise

[wiseheart]

I've been asked for permission by the Tower of Ecthelion people to post my story "Cold Comfort" in their archive. It makes me really happy, as I usually don't get discovered by new peoples, buried under the heaps of dubious stuff on ff.net.

I feel less like a pariah now. :) It's a nice feeling.

I know what you mean. I wish there was a site which (like Stories of Arda) accepted or declined AUTHORS rather than individual stories, and which also allowed publication of all ratings and genres. Like ff.net before the NC-17 ban, but with some minimum quality standards. It would really fill a void in the fandom.

Yes, well, if we ever manage to put together the Edhellond archive again, that's what we are planning to do. But we'll have to be very picky, I'm afraid, as free websites aren't offering very much space.

New archive The Undying Tales (http://undying.not-quite-human.net/) is general, all ratings, self-posting. Unfortunately, it doesn't yet have any traffic to speak of, but it's worth a look.

Thanks for pointing that archive out - I'd never heard of it before now. I'll post a link to it in the HASA URL Library; that might help increase traffic a little.

Oh, and welcome to LJ!

Thanks, Ithilwen!
