Newshinyshinyay...oh.
It's taken me a while, and then some more time...and then dipping my toe in the water...and then reading but not joining...but now I've joined both 
holmeswatson09 and kirk_mccoy . And lots of the fic there is good and interesting and lovely. But NO-ONE (well, very few) seem to link back to past chapters of their fics. Whyyyyyyyy? So there are fics which are up to chapter 9ish and for the life of me I can't find half the earlier chapters. I've clicked through to the journals of the authors, I've clicked tags, I've scrolled back...I mean, I'm certain I could find them if I kept looking, but it just makes me give up, given that I don't want to read a later chapter just to find out if it's really worth the effort of finding the earlier ones, and because I don't know if it's worth the effort I just don't bother after a short search. Why don't people link?? It's so easy, you just save all your links into the header you post with each part (I make the assumption that people keep that, rather than write it out in full every time? I know I do.) Anyway, small rant, but makes me even more determined that I shall always keep a nice track of my past chapters, for the noobs who turn up halfway through a fic.
graaar. I may just have to message the authors concerned and ask for links. (Which surely is more bother to them...) And these comms don't seem to keep memories for authors or anything either. Maybe there's a website...a secret one, not linked to anywhere...
Hmmm.
