icarusThe CEO of Six Apart speaks: Well we really screwed this one up.
They recognize they suspended journals that should not have been suspended. Now we'll see what they do to fix it.
In the meantime, my name at Greatest Journal is the same as the one here.
Interesting fun facts about FanLib:
Someone told me the 40 Highlander stories they have are all by the same author. Curious, I checked out the Stargate Atlantis stories.*
Two-thirds, 87 of 137 Stargate Atlantis fics, are by the same two people.
* Yeah, FanLib made its advertising money off me today -- and may I add what a pain in the ass it is to click through stories ten at a time? This is the most awkward, difficult to use site.

Date: 2007-06-01 01:13 am (UTC)The drop-down menu gives the following options:
Oldest to Newest
Newest to Oldest
Member Name
Most Viewed
Featured
Just like the options for Fanfics, it defaults to Newest to Oldest, which is okay, I guess, but why not just stick with the alphabetic list like most places? With this system, I feel like we're being offered up on the fanfic version of ebay...
Not to mention that the 'Featured' just really sticks in my craw in a bad way. How does one become featured? I suppose some competition among writers is okay, but I have a feeling that this could turn into a war as authors begin to vie over the 'top position' of the featured list. Fandom in general has enough 'sticky spots' on it's own without adding to it...
