Requiem for icarus.slashcity.net

*lone trumpet plays Taps*

The old icarus.slashcity.net is no more. Everything except my meta is on AO3 and I've been waiting for its demise for some time. (I haven't had access to the site for a while.)

I'm considering putting my meta on AO3, maybe. But in the meantime I have it saved.

Sorry for the demise of your fanfic account. Point me to your AO3 account hon. I would like to keep up with your fanfiction.

"HUGS"

Oh, it's good, actually. I've recovered control of my fics.

My AO3 is here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Icarus

I have two or three new fics: my SGA Santa, and The Untamed.

The end of an era! Glad the work is still available.

Yes, I'm grateful Amalthia gave me a heads up about Slashcity's coming demise.

I'm surprised my site was still going, frankly. Very surprised. The Yahoo account connected to the site got wiped when I hadn't logged in for several years, I didn't have my login info or the site owner's email anymore. An (admittedly halfhearted) attempt to reach Slashcity a year or so ago yielded nothing, and I've been just wondering why they didn't just dump a site that hadn't been paid for in a decade?

Quite generous on their part, really. By rights it should've gone down somewhere around 2012.

Aww, I'm sad to hear that Slashcity is closing its doors, but pleased that you were able to save everything from the old site!
