Dead alerts???

[christinex1001.livejournal.com]

Wish I'd found this community earlier, 'cause God knows ff.n gives me plenty to bitch about!

I haven't gotten e-mails for reviews in almost a week. I know I'm getting reviews, because I see them when I log in and check my stats, but notifications are dead. Am I correct in assuming that ALL alerts are down, including new chapter/story updates? I have a new fic that will probably be ready to post by the end of the weekend, but I'm loath to post it if no one's going to know it's there.

Looks like all alerts are down. Go ahead and post it, I'd say, because the alerts will go out...eventually...we hope...

Gaaaah! I didn't even notice that! I just thought I was getting no reviews. >.< (Two on my new fic, ha! I feel better now.)

I think when notifications go down, they all go down. (and then get sent out in mass later) I'm waiting too because when I post my next fic I don't want to have to check the site every day to find new reviews and reply to them. XP I'm lazy.

Typical, they fix uploading and alerts breaks. That's ff for ya, when ff.net opens a door somewhere it closes a window.

I just went over to find a review sitting there since 17th and I'm always so quick to answer them. Grrr...

ff.net ranters unite! I am DYING to upload another chapter of my fic, but I'm not gonna do it until I know the alerts are working again. And I wasn't impressed to find that the review replies I sent out for my last chapter didn't reach their destinations either!

May I suggest http://www.fanlib.com

We're new but we've got lots of clout. The site is run by a company that has been producing fan events for the L-Word and Harper Collins and soon Star Trek. We're still in beta but we've already got more than 3,000 stories on site.

Fanlib.com is about community and giving writers the props they deserve. We feature stories on the home page each morning so maybe people will discover a new fandom and we offer prizes! (The Harper Collins winner got a development deal with Fox - how cool is that.)

I also love the new "badge" system that let's you post the full header for your story with a graphic to LJ and other sites with one step.

I hope you'll check it out and let me know what you think. We're still tweaking and would love to have your input.
