Public Service Announcement

Good news! I've decided to go ahead with putting together a dedicated Sean/Viggo RPS fic site. It'll be an unofficial archive for rugbytackle, as well as for other SB/VM fics whose authors who aren't on LJ or don't post here.

The archive will most likely be searchable by author and fic rating. Suggestions would be most welcome on what other features you'd like the site to have, although I'm not too keen on interactive stuff like message boards and such -- I want the site to be a fic archive only, NOT a replacement for this wonderful community. Please leave comments here, or e-mail me at milochka_nyet AT hotmail DOT com.

I'm still researching web hosts as well, so I'd appreciate any rec's for slash-friendly hosts in the USA/Canada with decent prices (and that use Linux/Apache, not IIS). Already snared a domain name, though.

Once I've worked out the logistics and site design, I'll post another PSA here to let y'all know how I intend to troll for fic contributions. Rest assured I will NOT add any fic to the archive that doesn't specifically give permission for me to do so -- I'll probably ask you to put a specific term in your fic header. Will work that out later, though. First things first!

Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions, advice, and offers of help -- I may be contacting some of you soon. Special thanks to the lovely karelian, who created this community in the first place so we could all share the VigBean love. :-)

I always ask archivists if they'd mind linking to my stories on my home page rather than putting them in another archive -- I am a compulsive rewriter and have no easy way to revise things in Library of Moria etc. Would that work for you, for people who want to be included but not archived per se?

You are very lovely to do this and please let me know if I can help! I will redirect the web page for the community as soon as there's an archive and please feel free to steal the page of links and improve it however you wish!

Slashcity is the way to go, in my opinion. They are reliable, affordable, they do it all. :)
