Aimee, if you've read any fic, then you know the basics. Post the title, rating, pairing, use a cut-tag, indicate whether it's complete or part 1 of X. If you want more attention, it often helps to post an announcement to one of the communities, like spn_gen or sga_noticeboard.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks, Suela. I think I'm just gonna go f-list for now. It's my first fic. I totally changed it from how I wrote it the first time and wanted to post it and shut up about it. I'm really quite scared it's going to be total rubbish.

I also really like it when people post the fandom. There are way too many Jacks and Sams and Dans for me to intuit which one it is, man!

I still feel like I need to apologize before posting stories a good 75% of the time.

I now have a twisted urge to write a blindingly huge crossover, solely for the purpose of massive amounts of name confusion.
(It's possible I shouldn't even let my muse out of the house.)

Good catch, Shrift. Aimee, here's the tag for my most recent fic posts on LJ. I don't do pairings mostly, but otherwise that's about how you'd see them.
Oh, and sometimes it's nice to put a word-count there, as a courtesy.

So I caved and read Shalott's HP/SPN Wincesty crossover. And having to squint and scroll past the Wincest was more than made up for by the Hogwarts ghosts staging a protest about the ghost-killing Winchesters in attendance, and Dean bonding with the goblins, and getting sorted into Hufflepuff, and basically being completely unimpressed with the wizarding world. Sam, of course, is Slytherin. Hah!
That was, in fact, very funny.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It was all very much worth skimming past the wincest. So, so good. Dean with the Hufflepuffs was just beyond perfect.

Ironically, the Wincest doesn't faze me if it's shallot writing it, but the idea of a Supernatural/Harry Potter crossover is a watch from the hall concept for me.
Oy. Just started reading a fic where Teyla's previously unmentioned phobia about fire is invented. Perhaps two sentences before a reference to her being too tired to light the many candles in her room.
'cause lots of pyrophobics enjoy being soothed by lots of tiny dancing flames all around them.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Can't do the HP/SPN xover. Funny where my lines are.

It took a very trusted fic buddy to convince me to read the story. I'm glad I did, but yeah, if I didn't trust myself to skim and mentally redact certain parts, I'm not sure I would have read it.
