 Hello! I'm Red, the new addition to the SS moderator team. Kenaz will be back in the spring once RL clears up, but in the meantime I'd like to gauge the interest in a My Slashy Valentine swap. Please let me know what you think![Poll #1653538]

Hosting cost isn't a big issue, life recently has worked out for me to have the funds and resources.

If it changes in the future, it would be a matter of asking someone else to take it over (or do a donation button) or switch to AO3. It wouldn't just entirely disappear. I've been in the fandom for 6 years and the thing I hate most is disappearing fandom websites. Just seems incredibly sad!

I am a total geek. I read stories I love over and over and get upset if I lose them because a web site disappears.

I am using AO3 for Yuletide. So I will get some practice. Embarrassing old lady who doesn't adjust well to new technology here! And to think I used to think I was just the opposite!

I used to save hard copies of fics to my hard drive, but I got lazy. There are some authors who have totally dropped off the face of the earth and now I can't find their stories anywhere. It upsets me!

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, it takes me a bit to figure out a new interface too. The one thing I don't like about AO3 is the sense that you are one in two million...

You made me giggle with the "one in two million." Kind of like ff net with better writers! It is big in the sense of lots of different fandoms. And yet I do think it is safe to generalize that there are a lot of good writers there.

Yes, I've been poking around there - the quality of writing is generally quite good. It's sort of like Yuletide to me, wander around and read fandoms I never thought to look up.
