1) There's a bunch of Vertigo and independent fanfic out there that doesn't reach OTL, being posted on FF.net. And since I prefer not to muck around with the Mac-unfriendly pages of FF.net (it takes forever to load screens, for example), I thought I'd make a list where it was all available.
2) Previous to this list, my only two posting options were OTL and FF.net. I can't upload to FF.net since they did something behind the scenes that disagrees with my computer, and I do intend to continue posting to OTL. However, posting to OTL is getting to be a bit frustrating - if you write non-mainstream fanfic, you don't tend to get the readership from OTL. And like it or not, there is the perception that OTL is elitist and newbie-unfriendly, and despite our best efforts, that perception remains. I'm just providing another option for those unwilling to use OTL. Besides, I can always brainwash them into posting there later... *bwahahahas*
3) I'm sucking up to Luba. *grins*
4) The people who read and write Vertigo and independent fanfic aren't necessarily interested in fanfic from the two big companies. And if you're subscribed to OTL, that's what you have to wade through to pick up the nuggets of other stuff. Even with subject headers, it's a job.
