The new archive phenomenon.

[icarus]

Is this happening to other people?

I've had requests to archive my stories - which is great, I love it, I always say yes.

But lately people have been sending me these forms to fill out with all the information for the fics they want. They even want me to fill out a separate form for each fic they dictate. This is starting to seem a little lazy. When wicked_elf wanted my fics, The Elf did the work. switchknife, same deal.

Maybe this is churlish, but I'm a little pressed for time these days and haven't the patience to do this for everyone, as grateful as I am for the request. I've had three in the last week and a half. It just seems a bit rude or demanding or somesuch.

When you find a neat little archive created by a 15-year-old girl one day in mid-August when she was bored and wanted to collect the "best fanfic on the Internet" (in her opinion). Then--surprise, surprise--you see your fic there.
