I've been doing a three step posting process for my fics. I'd like to

know if any FFML members would like me to send the FINAL versions of

my

fics to the FFML in addition to RAAC and my website. I've always

looked

at the FFML as best for the second draft posting (after my

pre-readers).

Now:
Rough draft(s) (only seen by me and maybe a friend or two)
First draft (Pre-readers)
Second draft (FFML)
Final (RAAC/Website)

So, anyone without RAAC/Web access feel that the finals should be

sent

to the FFML as well? I'm asking because I've seen some finals sent to

the FFML recently.

Well, I send my rough draft and my final draft here. Once the *entire*

story is done, then I plan on sending it to R.A.A.C. It is advisable
that
if you are doing a multi-part story, that you do not post any of the
chapters to R.A.A.C until the story is completed. Readers can get
*very*
angry if part of a story is sent to R.A.A.C, but is never finished
because
the author lost interest. I've been writing one fic for over 3 years
now,
and someday it will be posted to R.A.A.C... but only when it is done
:)  

Well, that's great for mini-series...but impossible for continuing
series. If I waited for Childhood to be done, I'd take years and
years... I promise to write the big final battle that I've already got
plotted (partially) if I ever get sick of writing the stuff from
2000-2056.

As for Garden of Eva...got three story arcs plotted...I guarantee the
first one will be done.
