7. sgasecretsanta - AUTHOR CHECK IN - DONE
AO3 - sga_secret_santa_2019
I'm planning to start on this next weekend.
- Assignment is due: Dec 21, 2019
----------------------------
WEBSITES:
With YAHOO groups closing I spent a lot of hours working out things with the MBFic community - checking I have all the backups for when it all disappears on December 14th. I need to spend more time trying to figure out the best way forward.
To do:
1. Make sites mobile friendly - no progress
2. Reduce the overall number of files - so I can let go of ONE of the webspaces and save some money. This is going to have to wait until I have far more free time to sit and think things through.
3. Sort out the efiction archives - I finished going through all The Magnificent Seven Old West stories to remove any the spam reviews and ensure the totals were correct. I am still planning to try to contact the authors on the MB fiction archive to see if any of them want to move their stories to AO3.
Remember to check out the gallery and fiction archives for any new items/stories posted as I don't tend to change the website UPDATE page for these.
