I originally created this account for...testing purposes, to ensure that a certain group's join function was working properly (my first account having joined by way of an invite).

However, I didn't want to create a throw-away account. I wanted to create one that there was a good chance I would use. Yet I couldn't see why I needed two accounts.

Now I know. My original account will continue to be my main account, but I will use it for my fan work alone.

The new account, this one, will be used for my original work. So if you've seen the three chapters in my 2010 NaNo excerpt over on the other account, or the two version of my graphic design project... Well, I've moved them over here.

I may eventually post other work on this account, including a journal entry providing a brief synopsis or other of the NaNo. At least after I retrieve the version on my blog and try to improve it a bit.
Or I might post the other excerpt that's also on my blog.
And maybe one day I'll attempt to draw some characters. Or write a few short, standalone stories that I have no other plans for.
But for now, this account just has the five items.

I haven't decided yet if I will re-fave and/or friend anyone from the other account. More to the point, I haven't decided if I will migrate any of those friends or faves, and remove them from the old account.
It might be appropriate to do so, particularly for any original work I faved, or fellow NaNo-ers I set to watch.
But.... I don't check this account very much, so I'll likely miss a lot if I migrated things over.

You see, the fan-fiction account is the primary account. It will receive the most work, the most frequent updates, and the most points, if anyone is inclined to donate. (I'll have to "donate" any points the new account receives, anyway.)
If you'd like to see my fan-work, the account is at :iconsidequestpubs:
And for now, the fan-work account is the only one with faves or friends.

Why is the fan account the main account? Not because I do more fan work than original, though I certainly seem to, of late.
No, the reason is simply that I do not post a lot of my original work. Not yet. See, some of the magazines I've considered won't reprint work that's been published elsewhere, and apparently posting online counts as being published....

Although if I do post that other excerpt, it would be useful to have a Premium Account, just to add the "Featured Gallery Folder" widget to my profile. (A gallery folder full of nothing but first chapters or one-shots.)
But I don't see much other use for a PA. Not on this account, at least.
