Don't know if anyone is interested, but I posted a list of favorite older fics of mine on larakailyn_fic.

I've started a personal comm for my fic at larakailyn_fic.

I decided that I wanted a place where I can keep my fics fairly organized and public without them getting in the way of my personal, f-locked entries and whatnot. People are welcome to friend the comm if they'd like to read! Be aware that it will be multi-fandom and multi-ship. :)

Now, to christen the comm...
