An Archive of Our Own – read only public Beta

[samvara]

OMG OMG OMG! The Beta¹ version of the Archive of Our Own is up. Account creation is turned off so we can work on performance – after that we will gradually introduce new users through a viral invite system.

*victory dance*

In honour of the vast amounts of creativity, community spirit and sheer determination that went into this² I have ficced. This may never happen again.

Title: A vaguely accurate RPF story about the Archive partially told in ALT text
Fandom: RPF, Archive of Our Own
Rating: General Audience
Characters: Ensemble cast
Summary: Everything you need to know is in the title. Spoilers for the end of Supernatural S3 and what David Cook looks like.

¹Only supports Firefox at present; this software is still in development.
²and a burning desire to use a perfectly good Beta account.

left brain currently arguing with right brain about whether I'm allowed to publicly put it in del.icio.us. After all, it breaks the no RPF rule...

(and what is with mac users and redlines? inquiring minds need to know)

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

It's RPF with consent if that helps :)
When I do this:

PC users see a heart symbol but Mac users see a vertical line.

[rabbit1080.livejournal.com]

fwiw, I see a pink heart on my Mac (in Safari)

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Interesting!

in the end, I decided that it was acceptable to save publically. so I now have an author:black_samvara tag.

and now I understand what is with the vertical lines that I see in posts. yay for asking questions
