A question to you all...

[varelishawt]

I'm thinking of posting my Varel/F!Cousland stories to ff.net, but due to the nature of the stories, which are fills for DA kink meme prompts, they are, of a necessity, out of order, with only vague references to when they happen in the story's timeline. I'm currently chewing on ideas not only for requests, but for a prologue and the (action-adventure) story of just how the hell Varel has such an in with the Wardens that he knows so many of their secrets. However, I predict that I will concentrate on the pr0n first before the history.

The question, therefore, is whether I should wait until I have a proper prologue/history written and posted to ff.net first before posting the kmeme fills. What is everyone's opinions?

It's rather unclear to me what's okay and what's not over at ff.net. There's a lot of smut posted for Dragon Age, however, so I decided to post my fics. I think there are some stories on the kmeme that if they were posted on the ff.net might get some people riled enough to actually report them for violating the TOS (things with non-con or dub-con, bestiality or underage participants), but for most fics it seems to be okay.

I haven't had a problem yet, but then again there's generally around at least 50/50 ratio of smut to story in them and my stuff is fairly vanilla. I also have a lot of shorts about the same group of four people (some fics smut, some not) that can stand alone but also part of a larger story overall. So I just created a story called "Practical Romance" and started adding them as I wrote them with a note that these were all written as stand alone fics for various prompts and challenges and that while they tied together, they were out of chronological order. It seems to have worked better than posting every single one of the individually and cluttering up my page.

Ao3 is nice (and has better features than ff.net), but I don't really bother with it anymore as the audience really can't compare. My stuff's already spread out way too much and adding another archive that doesn't really seem to have much activity doesn't seem worth the hassle.
