I don't know if you've come across the Archive of Our Own (http://archiveofourown.org/), but it's another option for anyone who wants to host their fic and/or read at a multi-fandom Archive. It's run by the Organization for Transformative Works (http://transformativeworks.org/) which is a fan-run non-profit. The org owns the servers, which means they're much less vulnerable to commercial pressures, etc, than many other sites, and it is not ad-supported.
You may already know about the AO3 and have decided it's not for you, but I thought I'd drop a comment just in case. It's a newish Archive, and currently in open beta (you have to sign up for an invitation to join, although the queue is currently less than two days wait time). This means that some things are still being developed, but also that there's lots of potential for asking for cool new things and getting them.
(Full disclosure, I'm chair of the Accessibility, Design and Technology committee, which oversees the development of the Archive. I'm definitely not wanting to be all 'OMG you should join OUR Archive - although naturally I think it's pretty damn cool - but I thought you might like to know it existed!)
