Hi everyone! Sure has been a while, hasn't it?
So, Chapter 18 is currently in progress (about 75% of the way towards done) but in light of some changes I've noticed, I just wanted to get this A/N up ahead of time in case things go downhill before it's ready for release. This note will move down to the bottom of the actual chapter when it's published.
WHERE ELSE TO FIND ME
As you may be aware, FFN has been showing some serious site functionality problems of late in terms of page-breaking ads, loss of email notifications for updates/reviews/PMs, profile security issues and other concerns. There've been some pretty convincing arguments that the site may not remain up (or at least, not in a functionally useable state) for much longer.
I have an account on Archive of Our Own - username ThreeWaysDivided - where all current chapters of YJ:DW (as well as the Defining Moment oneshot) are being cross-posted. I'll be continuing to post both there and here until such time as FFN stops being usable but if things go down you'll be able to find my writing on AO3.
As mentioned, I also have a Tumblr under the same handle. If you have any questions you want answered, you're probably best asking me there since the broken email system means PMs don't trigger alerts like they used to.
In the meantime, you may want to consider saving backup copies of your FFN-exclusive favourite stories, as well as making backups of your own works for any writers who write directly into the FFN draft system. There are a number of browser-based and downloadable apps that you can use to quickly download stories from the site (I use the aptly named FanFictionDownloader). You can also print/save to PDF any review pages you want to keep since most story downloaders don't capture those.
Take care of yourselves out there.
