OTW: not just a nice idea

[sqbr]

First, a useful site (especially with lj being so flaky every now and then): http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Second: the beta versions of the Fan wiki and Fanfic archive for OTW are up. Definitely worth a look if you're interested in fanfic or other fanworks (I am sorely tempted to expand the section on fan crafts from "We need something here" :))

Something I like about the archive (which I didn't notice until after sending feedback, but then again my main complaint was the lack of a "How to use this site" page) is the way you can filter and sort stories by a huge range of criteria. Not so helpful now since there aren't that many stories but I can see that being a HUGE boon once it gets going.

Oddly enough, I'm not sure i'll have quite so much need for that one :P

but you might need to tell other people about it! It's a critical bit of information!

This is true. I will keep it in mind should the situation arise :)

Bad Sophie! Pointing me towards fanfic again. (I'm trying to quit). On the upside, I haven't read Farscape fanfic in AGES. Hm. I miss that show :P

[alias_sqbr]

Bwahaha :D Personally I'm in more danger from the wiki.

Political theory nerd moment: I read "down for" as "down with", being consequently surprised to find a practical site, not a manifesto against THE MAN! google & ads or something.

But also, yes lj is being ultra-slow weird...which is probably a good thing as am trying to stay offline

*fails*
*But Mistful has her final fanfics up*
*and now your fan links beckon..thanky*

See, slow internet doesn't keep me offline, it just means that more of that time is spent refreshing/waiting :)
