It was.... I only had something posted there at the request of a friend or I would not have even tried it was so complicated. But it did mean I found myself on AO3 with no effort on my part :)
I forgot to add: if you have your fics posted to LJ somewhere, you could, in theory, import it to AO3. I admit that the import function often didn't work for me, so I haven't tried for years, but they might have ironed out the bug in the meantime.
Nowadays I post my stuff to one of my LJ comms, otherworlds_lib, hiddenrealms or edhellondawards, since doing all the italics and bold fonts is a lot easier on LJ than hand-coding on AO3, which is a real pain in the backside, and then copy and paste the whole thing. It works like a charm.
