The Other Sign of the Apocalypse

OK, so someone convinced me I needed to re-read [personal profile] vamphile's You Bet Your Ass for research purposes in helping to categorize certain types of fiction. So because I'm a cooperative kind of person I went to bjfic.net to try to read it and IT'S GONE. Not the story, the website. It says On Hiatus.

I have never really used it to read anything other than [personal profile] vamphile and [personal profile] plumsuede's longer pieces, although I bet I have a few bookmarks to stories over there.  But... wwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh. What happened, does anyone know? Can we make it come back?

And I couldn't find "You Bet Your Ass" on [personal profile] vamphile's journal, is it anywhere?

Whimper. First you get me hooked on something I didn't even know existed, and now you take it away.

Well, not you. Not you personally.

Yeah, the bjfic site owner says: "The site may have periods of downtime over the next day or so, while I work on handing the site over to the new owners!" And a lot of the stories are unreachable for the moment.

However, to put you out of your misery, I've e-mailed it to you. :)

I don't know who is. But I'd sure love to find out...

*is your new best friend*

Except for, you know, the thing about me staying up til 4:45 AM reading it. That part, not so much.

Bwahahaha! Well if it makes you feel any better, I stayed up all night reading too...only to recall at about 8:30 a.m. just before I crashed for what I hoped would be awhile, that I had to take my father to a doctor's appointment at 11. So I got an hour and a half.

Ah well, perhaps that will help me get back on a reasonable bedtime tonight rather than my recent habit of reading until 3 or 4 or 6 or 8 a.m. before crashing.

Anyway, one can never have too many friends! I'm glad you enjoyed!

Hugs,

http://www.valerielewis.net/bj/fic.html

This is a site that [livejournal.com profile] vamphile has used to archive her fics. They are the bottom half of the page. Some of the stories have different names than she uses at bjfic so you'll have check them out.

Enjoy.

Don't fret - most of us have downloaded stuff for our continued enjoyment. Ask and you will receive!!

Otherwise, you can get [livejournal.com profile] plumsuede's stuff at her LJ or at Queer Eyes and some of [livejournal.com profile] vamphile's stuff at the holy church of brian and justin!

Hey, Xie!!! I thought *I* was your new best friend!!! *pouts* Yeah, I got a few bookmarked there as well. And it kinda sucks, cause I go back to those, like Building Blocks, and Making It Through The Summer. And most of Jane's fics, as well. Sniff.

What can I say? LJ is a very friendly place. And I'm kind of a slut.

*makes silly face at best friend vlredreign*

Yeah, I know. When you're popular, you must spread yourself around.

*hugs Xie and all my QAF friends*
