We have recieved news that the world is coming to an end tonight!
Well, no it isn't but the archive will be shut off tonight from about 11:59 pm till tomorrow morning around 3 am. That is from April 10th at about 11:59pm till April 11th at about 3 am.
They are moving the database around.
No cause for alarm, please go back to your daily routine.
When I started writing my current story for the Fiction Archive, I started to get excited about sharing it. I knew the only place I could share it was here at the EA. Right around when I wanted to get feedback, the whole damn site went down. I can't tell you what that did to me emotionally. (that was when we lost our provider.)
Just last night I finished the damn novel. 120,000 words long, and the story is now completely inseparable from the EA. The EA is the ONLY place it could ever be read, or garner any feedback.
If I didn't know what you just told us, Tal, and I came here to find the site down, I might have a nervous breakdown thinking fate was out to kill my story. Thank you for the warning. Consider me prepared.
My cable company who I buy internet service from does this same sort of thing. They go offline at midnight or 1am without warning and then do "service" which usually turns into a Mongolian cluster F$$K
