I don't have an AO3 account. I posted them to my LJ, which is watched by the newsletter.
ETA: Sorry - too abrupt.
Thanks for the hugs - but I have chronic health problems and spend more time "not well" than functional (I'm never truly well). So I get a bit thrown by how to respond to people's reactions to it.
Also AO3 terrifies me because of the kudos thing. 500 hits and only one comment was bad (worse in that the comment was 2 pages of what was wrong with the fic); 500 hits and no kudos would destroy me. Especially as I know one person who hits kudos for every fic she manages to read to the end and another who hits kudos before reading as a, "Thank you for creating!" (neither of them in Pros fandom).
