Yes, but if we only post here, Sean, the people who read our work will be limited to us Boggs Board members. I say we should post our stuff anywhere we can; here, on ff.net, and on DA. By the laws of averages, if you post it in as many places possible, there are higher chances of more people reading it.

Err....Perhaps......
It's just I'm pretty limited since my DA account is toasted, so I can't post my stories there.....heck....even if my DA account DID work I wouldn't know how to post...
So I'm limited to FF.net and here...

Need help finding the fanfiction bit? I'll walk you through the posting process (untill you see it).
First, you sign in (duh). Then, click submit (you probably already know this, so sorry if I sound patronizing). Then, click... *squints* Okay, I would walk you through it if DA was working on my computer currently. *clicks refresh rapidly*
...
*kicks "Cannot find server" page*
...I'll try again later. But, I know you have to go to the finnished deviations, then "prose", and I think it's there... but I'm not sure.

We were talking about how to get fanfiction uploaded up on deviantart. Are you still lost, Sean?

To READ fanfiction, go to the DeviantArt homepage, and click on "Browse Today's Deviations" near the top. It will take you to the page where you can see the thumbnails for EVERYTHING that has been uploaded that day. Look near the top right corner, and you will see a pull-down menu "Browse Deviations". Click it, and a list of all the different types of uploads will appear. To access the fanfiction, click on "Prose", then in the box underneath, for "type", click on "fanfiction". You can also change the date if you want to go to a specific date or just futher back than the current one. Now, if you have a PAID account, you can search for specific key words or artists/writers, but most people I know don't have the paid subscribtion, so we can't search, which is a pain in the butt.
To UPLOAD fanfiction, which I haven't done, I guess you have to save it as a Word document or something, then select "Prose" from the type of deviation you are uploading or submitting, and select "fanfiction" under than. It gives you choices, just like when you upload artwork.

Ugh...
You NEED an account to use DA Fanfiction right?
I HAVE an account that I can no longer use....because of a problem on THEIR Cookies...
I can't make another account since I have to use my E-mail, and they already have that entered in as Fallen Angel Randall, my unaccessable DA account.

I've just tried, but I can't find anything saying 'prose'. Maybe it's because I'm not a full member- I'm not paying any money to be part of DA.

You don't need a paid account to browse or put up material on DA.com. You just need it to be able to search for specific keywords or topics or artists or whatever. You can still browse through the day's(or any specific day's)uploads, still fave pics, or watch for artists to upload something. You can still send and receive private messages to other members. You just can't do a search. To browse a category, go to the homepage, www.deviantart.comLook for the heading near the top right, "Browse Today's Deviations" to see everything that has been uploaded that day, and click on that. When that page comes up, look for the drop-down menu box on the right labeled "Categories" and click the arrow. Look under the main heading, "ART", in the drop-down menu and find "Prose", and highlight and click it. Under the second drop-down menu box, underneath the first one(which will now have the word "Prose" in it), the subcategory box, click the arrow and it will drop down a menu for the different types of prose categories-Fantasy, Fanfiction, Erotic(yeah, they have that), Occult, Children's, etc.. Highlight and click the one you want,and it will load a page with all the thumbnails showing titles for that type prose that has been uploaded that day. If you want to change days, there will be a box with the dates in it at the top, so you can search a specific date, or expand your browsing to include several consecutive days. pitbulllady |

What?
No account to do things that you need an account for?
Come on....
How can you post something annoymous (forgive) when I tried that before?
You can't even use the search engine....

There are different levels of "accounts" on Deviant Art. One is a basic thing-you just sign up, create a user names and password, and you're in business, so to speak. This allows you to establish a gallery of art or whatever, to upload stuff, and communicate with other DA members. Then, there is the paid subscription account, and the main different is that paid subscribers CAN use the search engine, while no one else can. Anyone, though, can browse artwork and such; I did so long before I joined and started posting art of my own.

Yes....
But MY account doesn't work anymore, and if I subscribe again, it'll just tell me that "that address is already registered". I mean, you get an E-mail with confirmation......
So I CAN'T POST my stories since I DON'T have a working account....
Which reminds me......who does read crossovers on there?
