You know, one of these days, I'll manage to completely get organized in one system before another system takes over... Today is not that day.

Right now the best place to find my stories, organized well beyond my ability to do it manually in any journaling system, is to look for them here:

Waldo's Home at An Archive of Our Own


So far, to the best of my knowledge all of the stories I've written in the following fandoms are posted at AO3 and I'm working on the others (SGA, SG-1, Phantom Menace, West Wing and others) daily.

• Battlestar Galactica (2003)
  
• Eureka 
  
• Hercules: the Legendary Journeys
• Horatio Hornblower
• Merlin
• NCIS
• NCIS: Los Angeles
• Psych
  
• Sports Night
• Stargate: Atlantis
  
• Torchwood
• White Collar

There are 120 stories there as of January 1, 2010.

You do NOT need an AO3 account to leave a comment there. You will simply be asked to provide an email address. This is not shared with anyone, it just keeps the bots away as well as allowing you to receive responses to your comments.

If you'd like an invitation to join the AO3, let me know and I'll be happy to request an invite for you.

I will continue to post my stories to both my Livejournal account (smallwaldo) and my Dreamwidth account (Waldos_writings) to maintain a back-up as well as for the ease of those who really prefer not to leave LJ/DW to find their fic, but if you're looking for my back catalog, the AO3 version is vastly improved over the system I was attempting here.

Thanks for reading!
