Tien is running it, and I've tried it out.

It's very efficient, easy to navigate. FF.net without the immense size and pop-ups. There are some bugs here and there that Tien is working on.

Multi-fandom, plus original work.

It's by invitation only. You can be invited by Tien, invited by a current author, or put your email address in a request in the Forums, with a link to an example of your writing.

The goal appears to be to have an ff.net-style archive with only high-quality stories.

It will accept R and NC-17 rated stories soon (within the next couple of weeks). She is moving it to a new server that will allow this.

In the meantime I've uploaded all my 'First Signs of Magic' and 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Death Eater' -type stories. I'll pestering my friends (i.e. people that barely know me, but I managed to lay my hands on their email addresses and I love their stories ;) to stuff the archive with stories I like.

The only downside appears to be the name, which reminds me of 'Skynet' from Terminator 2. Eeep.

CLS stories are overlooked and reap few reviews. We discussed this a week or so ago. I told her that the same happens with my LotR fics - they build slow, which means the 'quick fix' readers (90% of those on the internet) bail halfway through. Which is shame, because her work is really powerful. So I passed her name along to Tien, who checked them out. She loved them, and has sent CLS an invitation to the archive. *Icarus beams... this is gonna make her day....*

On another note:

Meep. Cassandra Claire [livejournal.com profile] epicycle responded to my review of Draco Veritas from, oh, months ago. Probably January. She's been reading 'Primer to the Dark Arts.' Likes the Harry/Ron. Really -? No kidding -?! Wow.

People really like my stories... well. I'll be damned.

I really never thought anyone would read them.

*Grins*...Don't you love it when people tell you they like what you write?...I had the same feeling when I was first added to someone's favourite authors list...It was like, 'What? You like this nonsense that leaves my mind and splatters on the keyboard?'

*Befriends you, so I can read your drabbles myself tomorrow!*
