Very vaguely (the interface there is better for crossovers, in that you get twice the exposure instead of half...)

But the re-conversion to HTML/re-upload process is pretty painful, most notably because I've told myself I've really got to archive all this stuff on my *own* website in parallel as well this time in case I lose access to it again. Which means I have to manually construct all the shell pages and surrounding navigation links and structure for each and every chapter I upload there as well, which is a real pain for multi-chapter stories in particular... and of course the script I set out to write to automate that process is stuck in an unfinished state, and I'd told myself I wasn't going to upload anything else until I'd actually got that working!

So extremely long stories are definitely better left until I do have the process automated. Which of course may be late or never, but puts "Blue Remembered Hills" right down at the bottom of the priority list in either case. ("The Choices of Raoul", as an early work, was actually uploaded to my site *already*, and it still took me months to get round to constructing an acceptable version of the 'bonus material' I'd included in that upload but which was not allowable on fanfiction.net. To be frank, with hindsight I think that was probably a self-indulgent mistake anyway, but having told myself I was going to do it I've now done it.)

Currently top of the conversion priority list is "The Sons of Éléonore", which I've actually had a request for and which has the relative merrit of being only three chapters long. And I'm very fond of it myself!
