A fanfic noob question

[ceri]

Is there a general best practice when it comes to posting one's fanfic - in one's regular journal, in a separate one, wherever? Is this a thing that varies with community, or is it just all over the place?

I've seen people spot to their journal, make a fic journal, or just post to fanfiction.net (or post to both a journal and ff.net).

It depends what one wants to do with one's journal. I've always posted fandom stuff in a separate journal because of the nature of my main journal's f'list, but posting in one's main journal is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

A common practice, especially these days, is to post in one's journal and then post a notification to a relevant fic/fandom community.

Helpful, thanks!

Makes sense.
