I'm having less and less luck with the hosting of Amplexus.org, and less and less energy to keep host-hopping and sorting out the neverending mess! So, giving up and moving my fanfic efforts in full time over at Archive of Our Own:

A Bed of Thorns
Chapter One: No Princess

Summary: Belle is no princess, but then Rumpelstiltskin is no prince. AU.
Rating: "Strong Adult Content"/NC-17 (though first chapter is work-safe).

"...too often they buried fallen sons and daughters. Too often there was little enough to bury and the final words were said instead over keepsakes or last ( Read more... )

Looks like Amplexus.org is down. My web host was doing something to the servers this week - hopefully it'll sort itself out soon (before I need to do anything technical!). Can put individual stories on Googledocs if anyone's frantic for them.ETA: Bunged the site on a different cheap host while I try to sort out what's wrong: Read more... )

Still no joy getting the nym subdomain of my site back up and running - I may have to move in permanently at the http://amplexus.org location instead.

I've done something to fubar the 'nym' subdomain holding my website. Everything can be accessed at http://amplexus.org 'til I work it out!

I think my last spark of fannish enthusiasm got snuffed out with the cancellation of Stargate Universe. It's just not fun enough to outweigh these network-inflicted losses any more, and more importantly fandom's not an escape from my fuck-awful life any more. I do believe that after 26 years of keeping a dream alive, I'm done.

What with one thing and another, I've been losing the fannish spark lately. Not the writing, not for fanfic, but the enthusiasm for supporting the source material and participating in fandom, and especially for trying new things that come along. Tired of shows being either cancelled before they tell their story, but after I fall in love with the ( Read more... )

I was trying to read a fanfic today, and struggling with the awareness that my brain isn't up to reading fic that's this good and deserves this much careful reading and absorbing. Not if I want said brain to do anything else for the next day or so. I love reading, but words on a page have become a trial for me - a physical and intellectual chore ( Read more... )

Just learned that my fanfic web site is down (thanks, somniesperus!) My web host, PowerMonster.net, has been sold on to another company, Birdhosting.com, and they don't seem to have got a grip yet. If they don't get one soon, I'll move the site over to my other hosting account with them, which does seem to be working. Sometimes ( Read more... )
