Reminder for Content Changes
First, a note: I am alive. I did not have a summer break, as I was preoccupied by the dramarama llama, who had a fun time causing havoc. Hence, not much progress on the site front. No Bakery progress at all. =(

But, as I just had a change for a listed author, I wanted to remind anyone who stumbled in, over, across or around these sites that if they need to make content changes, you can either leave a comment here or track me down at my email ladyphoenix9 AT hotmail DOT com. No need to get really complex in your notes, but make sure if you're trying to mask your real name that you check any email addresses that might be associated with your fanfics/art, not just names listed in the text of the page. And please give me a heads up if you might have your name buried in an author's note somewhere...I might miss those, especially if you put your notes at the end of the story.

See you in January, maybe, when I recover from Christmas at work. (I hope.)

Hosting News
I know the hosting news has been dangling for quite a while now, but some concrete numbers came up today. I wanted to let you know that it doesn't appear the (probable) price increase is going to break my bank account. Your mirrored fan sites are going to live through another year (without driving me crazy in the process). =)

SDKLR and Hosting News
I've been tweaking things over at SDKLR. This included the link updating I promised to do, along with fixing a long-standing boo-boo on the contributor's fanart page (Rossie Townsend and Cinthia T.C. were both dropped from the fanart page, despite having their names listed on the contributor index.) I also made a favicon for the SDKLR, which I hope shows up sooner rather than later (lol). Of course, I need to make sure that it works with my host, which brings me to my second round of news.

While I was looking on the support forums this morning, I saw some news that the hosting service I'm using may not make it through 2012 for financial concerns. Plenty of time to prepare, so don't panic. I went ahead and bought an upgrade package (hopefully that will help them a bit with the monetary situation) and I have every intention of staying where I am or popping over to their parent site at a little more cost. But just to be safe, I'm also looking for a free hosting site that could serve as a mirror. It would be quite aggravating to have done all this work and then lose my webspace to host it. (Typical, though, really.)

I just might have to do some dedicated fundraising once I see what the situation is with the host, but I will keep these sites around. Somehow. Even if it takes me setting up an old spare computer and making it my server. These sites shall not die (again).

Edit on the 21st: So I don't make another post and clutter things up, here are a few more items that have changed over at SDKLR:
~ Elektra's works (that I could get) have been added back into the fanfic section. I am missing her Carousel songfic "Don't Do What I Did." Her poem "Human" is just not coming off Archive.org right now but it should be saved in that archive (maybe). If you have either, please send them my way so we can complete that page. (Please?)

~ Two art pieces by Kristin were identified through the old archives. One is the picture of Kunzite strangling Zoi; the other was an image I didn't have before of Zoi at tea.

~ Four Soylent sketches migrated from the unknown artist section to her crypt; namely the gryphon, Zoi's fancy new hairdo, and two of Kunzite and Zoisite being all cute together.

~ Clever people who remember the splashpage index at the old SDKLR will be able to see the "Bump" page again, as I like to call it, if they investigate a bit. A few more nested pages were also grabbed but haven't been linked to the live site yet. This is in anticipation of putting up the original why/what/where links on the home page. Maybe you could poke around and find them, if you're really bored and want to read the disclaimer and stuff like that again. [The who section was taken down by Soylent before the site went kablooey as she felt they were inadequate and unnecessary, instead referring people to "In Metallia's Name" for their character analysis needs. I'll be honoring her wishes and leaving that section off the revived site.]

~ I think some of the art in the unknown section may have been accidentally put there when I was working on BADK. If I see it's listed over there, I'll be taking it out of SDKLR so I can whittle down that unknown section some more.

Whew! Still lots more to do. Need longer hours in the day to do it. ;_;

Planned Updates
Since I will probably be too busy to do this while I still remember, I'm going to type up my to-do list for all the rescued sites for about December. (Sadly, I'm not jesting.)

BSMFN
~ Finish tagging the stories with categories.
Finished slightly later than planned on 1/19/2011. But it's finished!
~ Standardize category names.
~ Add categories, if appropriate.
~ Try to add/update the authors' homepage links, if I can.
~ Possibly add some more colored dots to denote often-recommended stories.
~ *gulp* Start asking for some new content. (Yes, I'm crazy. I've been reading through ff.net from year 2001 and have picked out some potential new stories. Yes, this is going to be tedious. I reiterate: I am crazy.) New content may go on a new page to avoid the scrolling wall of doom text that is alpha-sort by title.
I decided it would be best handled over here instead of adding to the existing archive: look for the tag should have beens for my fic choices for this archive.

SDKLR
~ Update link list (I have a few urls to change).
Accomplished 1/19/2011.
~ Bring the fiction over (I'll feel better knowing I have those mirrored on my side; I'll also restore the original SDKLR order of them).
Accomplished (with cold fingers) 12/15/2010.
~ Update Astrodonna's page to include a link to Sailor Renegade (bonus content is bonus) and some extra art that may or may not have been on the site. (I'm becoming an Astrodonna art hoarder....)
~ Add in the missing History of the Dark Kingdom chapters turned up thanks to aria_elwen.
~ Add the only Herald Elanor story I've found so far, "Diversity."

Both accomplished on 1/30/2011, plus Celeste Goodchild sent along her missing fics to complete her page at the SDKLR. Wahoo!
~ Appropriately sort out some of the unsorted art.
Accomplished 1/20/2011. Whee!
~ Add link to this journal for updates.
Accomplished (with popsicles for appendages) 12/15/2010.
~ Add in some extra Jess Stonicus art (or try to match it to her missing pieces...)
~ Restore the Why/What/Where buttons, links, and subpages on the main index.

TN
~ Bravely attempt to link to archived pages on her link list; otherwise, this is the only site that is, in truth, "static." =P
~ Accomplished 11/18/2010! Sick days are good for quiet, non-paying work.

BADK
~ Some art needs duplicating on this side from SDKLR
~ Fix broken image on links page
~ Try to make page navigation easier here; it's a pain getting to all the fanfics.
~ Go hunting for the missing content. May be fruitless, but I'll give it another go.

Sailor Renegade
~ See if I can get some sort of script so you can click through the images without having to go back to the main page. I know they exist; the question is whether I can implement a good one on my server.
~ Finished the script on 10/27; check out the comic here. Design is minimal but functional.

Sardonyx's This's Nothing!
This's Nothing!

Sardonyx is best remembered for her quirky writing style in the DK portion of fandom. I was lucky enough to find all her writings, and am now hosting them on my site. The site may look a little different from what you last remember, but I promise the content is the same.
