From what I've seen you have to be either be participating in YT or in a few select fandoms to get a lot of hits on AO3 (Homestuck, for instance.) Which, y'know, I'd love to do something about, and if I ever do find someone to do that review-a-thon community I'm going to pimp out some awesome things. But I can see where it's frustrating. I just happen to like its user interface enough to make up for the frustration (because if it was just the not-having of ads that I liked, I could just as easily get that here on DW.)
Once I have my own laptop that I have exclusive use of, I'll have to see what I can do about ff.net being stupid. As it is, I'm pretty sure he had adblocking on it, but the ads still show. Drives me nuts. -_-;
(On an unrelated note, I just read "Devil" and it was pretty cool. It has a kind of "small part of an epic space/time-spanning adventure" feel to it, which is neat, and pretty rare.)
Oh, thanks. :) I keep wanting to write the epic FFIV/FFVIII crossover, or failing that get someone else to write it for me. I don't know why. I just keep thinking it would work.
Also, amused that you killed Ashley. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't hate either of them.
Oh, you're not. I liked them both and am totally trying to write sad doomed Ashley/Kaiden fic. To be honest, though, I did like Ashley better (and so did the particular Shepard in that fic, actually. ;p) That Shepard is the one that I played through my first ME2 game with, which wasn't imported, which for a female Shepard translates to "Ashley and Wrex died by default." Among other things.
