Where I post fanworks first. Also has a lot of my original writing.

LiveJournal: ysabetwordsmith
Mostly original writing, occasionally fanwriting.

AO3: ysabetwordsmith
Where I post fanworks after DW. Almost all fanwriting with a few original pieces, and the biggest cache of my fanfic online that I know of. Love Is For Children is enormous, that's Avengers fanfic. I oopsed some books again. Other stuff is smaller clusters or miscellaneous. I've touched on Sherlock, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Supernatural, Vorkosigan, and sundry others.

PenUltimate Productions is my own website. Most of that's original. However, Schrodinger's HeroesM is designed for crossovers -- anyone can use it -- and has numerous fanfic standalones and several series, many of which aren't on AO3, along with SH crossovers with various fandoms by other contributors.

Feedback in general is welcome. I don't object to concrit, but I don't usually edit fanworks. The original stuff -- which is paid for by my audience -- I do revise when I have time. So if it's the fanfic you're reading, it's less productive to make detailed criticism. Broad strokes can be useful, though. Comment on whatever service(s) you prefer.

Your stuff inspired me to play in your sandbox, breaking a decade long writers block and making me seriously consider perusing a career as a writer.

Thats how good it is!

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that. I love inspiring people. Also I enjoy reading what you write. MOAR GOODEEZ for everyone!

Your exploration of a universe with an openly demisexual Betty (Betsy, in that 'verse) Ross led me to research demisexuality, which led in turn to my discovering asexuality and grey-A categories, giving me long-needed vocabulary for, and plain old awareness of, my own identity! Before that point, I didn't think asexual was applicable to me at all, having only ever heard of the completely nonlibidoist variety. I owe you one; I'm ace and proud, and I have you and your diverse casts of characters to thank for it. :)

Yay! I'm so happy I could help.

Yeah, there are many versions of asexuality and many are not well recognized in the asexual community. One that I keep trying to point out is there's a difference between finding someone sexy and feeling an urge to DO anything about that. If you don't pursue sexual encounters, your experiences are going to be more like people who can't tell what sexy is than like people who chase tail. Which is different yet again from celibacy where someone feels the urges but chooses not to act on them.

I find your fiction, especially Love is for Children, incredibly soothing. I've frequently gone to it on high anxiety days to help settle myself. And I like your extensive end notes. They're generally fun and informative.

That's good to hear. Love Is For Children is one of my most popular series, especially for comfort reading. It's also the one that turned the footnotes into a major feature across much of my writing! I used to do them only on rare occasions for poetry and fiction, but now they're routine and people love it.

I just read A Vorbarra, a Naismith and a Stark Walk Into A Bar and enjoyed it a lot! I thought it was very clever!

Yay! I had a lot of fun writing that crossover. It's one of my favorite standalone stories.

I'm a long-time reader of your Love Is For Children series, and I'm always blown away by the detail of your reasoning behind everyone's actions when I get to the notes at the end. Your characterisation is great, and I'm particularly a fan of your Jarvis and Hulk (and the way Phil and Clint respectively have developed friendships with them)

Yay! :D

Thank you. My fanfic method is, "Derive in, extrapolate out." I look for things in canon that intrigue me, try to figure out how they got that way, and then imagine how they could affect future stories.

JARVIS and Hulk are favorite characters of mine. I also enjoy exploring friendships and other platonic bonds. Too much entertainment only focuses on fucking. I won't even dignify most of it with "romance."
