Gatch and Fic sites.

Hi peeps,

I would like to ask you all for a list of your favourite sites for Gatch, Botp etc or of sites where you post your fic's or discuss upload any kind of fandom work.

Additionally I'd like to ask what particular features you like from those sites.

FF.net is a PITA to post on, and you can't have more than one author for a fic, but it does post things up quickly, and has a lot of readers. You don't have to be a member to read fics, so you reach a very wide audience.

Gatchfanfic requires all fics to be 'approved', and that can sometimes take ages. You have to be logged in to read all of the fics, and the system doesn't Keep you logged in, even though it's supposed to. But it's easier to post on, and edit on, and as Maddy said, it's great to have Gatch fanfic all in one place. It's also easy to surf through/search fics.

This is the only active Gatch/BOTP discussion board I know of. There are a few dead ones, and the BOTP Mailing list is veeeery slow. There are a few good reference sites out there, but many of them have not been recently updated.

Like the others, I'm mainly hear and gatchfanfic. I do visit Wendy's and Reboeka's (I hope I spelled her name right) but mainly if I can't find it here first or just feel like browsing.

I like Gatchfanfic because I'm very familiar and comfortable with the efiction script. For it's purpose it is the best I've seen for readers and authors alike; plus if you are a programmer you can modify the script with good success. I've seen archives that have taken the basic script and added some excellent features to it and closed some of the security holes.

What I like about here is the people, the information, and the discussion. That and I like the discussion board format better than the yahoo format. It is so much easier to follow discussions here.

I like Gatchaman Archives for posting stories because its more organised in the sense of series, things like that. I like FF.net because of its ratings, its nice to know where you're readers come from. Story reader counts are good just so you know someone reads it, even if they don't leave a review.

efiction will keep the formatting, too if you cut and paste. The one thing that you do have to do with it is simple html for effects like bold or italics. I think the new version has even more options, but I haven't played with it that much.

The direct upload for efiction is hit and miss, at least the older versions.

Like many others, this site is the only one for me regarding discussion boards and Gatchfanfic.com is the one I prefer to post write-ups and art because I find it rather easy, user-friendly and organised. I also like the idea of finding a large variety of fics, whether BOTP or Gatchaman related, in one site together with the ability of rating and leaving a comment regarding the same work.

I do browse other Gatchaman websites, every now and then (e.g. The House of the White Shadow, etc), but mainly to search for some short info when I have the need or to see if I can discover some new art ... but this is done rarely, as I don't find enough time! I've already browsed a lot before I've joined this site, after which I decided to throw my anchor here! I definitely won't change this site with another!

I would ditto the above except I don't use fanfiction.net. It always goes strange on me.
