Why the hell would you put put up a story that doesn't have your name and your e-mail address on it?
'Cos we're smug in the knowledge that we do have a link back to our main page on every single story, and assume our readers are smart enough to find it...?
Wrong answer, I know. *g*
Actually, I am in favor of headings for the ornery reason that I don't believe in "gateway" pages -- if you put all your warnings and spoilers and ratings and whatnot on one page, and then bitch because people don't READ THE WARNING PAGE GODDAMMIT -- well, call me an iconoclast, but I always thought the point of the WWW was that you can link to whatever is out there.... Whoops, how'd this soapbox get in here?
Which doesn't prevent my being lazy. Anyway, since a weird little plagiarism incident awhile back, I've taken to putting a copyright notice at the bottom of each of my stories, which feels less redundant and self-aggrandizing than a byline on every blessed drabble, and has the added if dubious benefit of scaring off the wussier would-be thieves.
I should really figure out a standard footer and put it on all of my stuff, though.
