Right now I'm enjoying a story (Orrin Rush - The Lifeguard) from 1999. I purposely am a Prolific Author on Nifty's list so that readers can find my stories. I also post a link to GA at the end of the last chapter of my stories on Nifty to promote Gay Authors. All of my stories in GA's Archives are linked to Nifty. I love the permanency of Nifty and don't bicker about the wide range of quality on the site. There's also nothing wrong in asking Nifty to run your story in more than one section. Nifty has a fantasy section (sex, or no sex.or some) and it sounds like you might consider merging the stories as chapters in a series. On the other hand, it'd really suck as a reader for Nifty to have only two thirds of the stories they're in. Given that firegrass is just heroic fantasy, I can see it not really belonging on Nifty. The next piece, Dirty Basement (no link, it's only done in first draft and out for readthrough/editing/savaging) will have it clearer that they're a couple, and at some point when I get Wild Life going (the origin story) there'll be an appropriate amount of sex. The thing with B&W is that they've only shown up in Firegrass, which could reasonably be read as standard heroic fantasy. And while I certainly hope that GA will be here for ages, it's a safe bet that nifty will be. spotty in its quality, has the advantage of permanence, and I figure if I'm putting something out there to be read I want whoever reads it to be able to find it next week, next month, and next year.
I'm under no illusions that I'll ever publish any of it any place that matters - even if I do, it's at least a full draft away from being ready for publication, which is fine. Generally speaking I like to fling my stuff there. Should the Ben and William stories get sent to nifty? Here's a question (with a poll! Woo!) for everyone.
