Welcome to the reconstituted reborn version of The Laundry Room!
I’ve worked pretty hard on this the past few days and I must say that I’m quite pleased with the result. From here on out, this site will remain the official location for all my fan fiction. However, I will still continue posting to both FanFiction.net and An Archive of Our Own (whenever the latter comes back up).
While everything needing moving has been moved, and everything needing posting has been posted, I’m still doing some link cleanups here and there. I’ll be going through all pages to make sure I hit everything. If you find something not working, just let me know — but know that I also need to beg your patience as I do this final polish.
For answers to a few other common questions:
Is this in response to the AO3 Outage?
Partly. I’d been debating it anyway. The AO3 outage just solidified the decision and moved the timeline up a little.
Are you still supporting AO3?
One hundred percent yes, and I also have not cancelled (nor do I intend to cancel) my membership in OTW. The latter’s mission is about a lot more than AO3; and as for the former, I understand that the situation was caused by malicious actors. It wasn’t a failure by OTW or AO3.
Will you be moving the SMK Rescue Archive to this site, too?
No. It is down for the interim and will remain so unless and until AO3 comes back up. Those stories are not mine to do with as I please. I don’t want anyone mistaking their authorship, nor do I want to exceed the scope I’ve already defined.
To answer what might be an objection: works on Angelfire and Tripod were already scraped by AI anyway. Posting them on AO3 doesn’t increase the risk of being copied. But, of course, if an author requests I not post and/or pull down their work at the Rescue Archive, I will remove it — no questions asked (except to verify you really are the author), and no reasons needed.
Can I post your fan fiction from here to a different archive?
Please don’t do so without asking me first. This is an actively maintained site, so if you send a message I will receive it. And please don’t hesitate to ask. I’m reasonable about reasonable requests; I just want to know where everything is.
Is more fan fiction on the way?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes! And not just for Scarecrow and Mrs. King, either, though the majority of my new work will be in that fandom.
I’ve also built out the infrastructure on The Laundry Room to allow me to add reference pages for other fandoms besides SMK as well. So you may see some more of those, too!
