Fic Mirror Set up + Dropped Fics
In the wake of the LJ outages I, and a few others, have created mirrors for our fics etc over at dreamwidth. This is for the sake of preserving them should anything happen to LJ. I know I have most of my fics on my hard-drive but I don't know if all edits/etc are also there.
You can find my fic mirror at: aya_magic.
Some notes should you ever need to use the mirror:
I couldn't import THESE posts because I accidentally made this a community rather than a regular journal, my idiocy because I was tired when I did this all. Because of this the fic posts from my personal journal, that were private-locked once I moved here, are the posts on the mirror. This isn't so much an issue content wise but there are some important things you should note.
- The tagging system is the OLD one, meaning it makes very LITTLE sense and isn't at all standard as it is here. You can try and use them but I wouldn't suggest it. Your best bet is sadly going back in entries until you find what you want. Luckily there are only a few pages of entries.
- The masterlist links will not bring you to the mirrored links. I haven't had time to redo them and I'm not sure I will considering how long it could potentially take. If anything just use the masterlist for summaries and status updates. The current links will bring you to private-locked (meaning no one but I can see them) posts.
- The chapter/part links also will NOT bring you to the proper mirror links. They will do the same as above and bring you to an unviewable post on my private journal on LJ. Your best bet is just finding the different parts on the mirror journal. This shouldn't be too difficult because they should be one after the other in post order.
- Author's notes, etc have not been edited since the original posting of the fics, meaning my ridiculous ramblings might still be there.
- In this community, fics were consolidated into less posts. On my personal journal I was never allowed to do relatively long posts (by that I mean more than 7-8 MW pages per post). So there are more parts per fic than there are here. A minor annoyance that ties into the chapter/part links that aren't available.
- In general things aren't even close to as organized as they are here, but it is a last resort option.
- Finally, I'm going to try and keep it up to date, but as you can see, if you check, the 2nd chapter of Uni!au isn't up. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up to date once I start posting again.
Thank you for the patience and sorry for the disorder at the mirror, I wish I had the time to fix it. I don't know if I'll be able to change any of the above issues for quite some time because of my schedule at the moment.
Dropped Fics:
No one has commented on this to me but in my inactivity I haven't bothered to address it until now. If you can't find one of my fics from before in this community or at the mirror then it has most likely been dropped/abandoned. There is a chance I either forgot to transfer it here/forgot to open it on the mirror but that's fairly unlikely.
Also, DoL has almost 100% been dropped/abandoned. TJ and I most likely will not be working on it again/finishing it anymore. I still have some pre-written portions but... I doubt they will be posted over at the proper community. The Frog Princes is another one that is up in the air. I would love to finish it but if I did I would most likely completely rewrite it from the beginning and probably change quite a few things. AnD is among these as well, just to make that known.
It's kind of depressing to phrase it in this manner but I'm afraid I should be blunt about it now.
