Just passing this on since I posted recently about it. Apparently GE will not be able to be restored to transfer to AO3 (see copy of FB post below). If anyone did donate, (like I did) none of the donations were accepted. Here's what I did and it worked fine, go into your paypal account and cancel  the payment for that transaction, the money will be put into your own pay pal account. You can leave it there for future paypal payments or have it transferred back to your bank account, (I think there might be fees to do that though). I donated $20 and I'm thinking of just sending $10 each to ASH and TPP via paypal to keep the fanfic love alive. :)  I'm very sad to see GE go as I liked the Hermioine Centric nature of the site. :(

It seems that Ashwinder's's Home page is back up now, but nothing is working properly at all. If I click on any of the fics on the home page it takes you to a blank page. When I click on various categories it either doesn't work at all or takes me to that page, such as titles, members, etc, but then you can't go to any of the ones shown or go to other title pages. Same for other catgories. All of SH other archives still show an error message. I'm worried again now. :(

Then I learned yesterday in a post by dreamy_dragon73, That Digital Quill is down. A comment by shiv5468 confirmed that it is down due to being hacked and it's not coming back. WHile DQ wasn't a huge archive it had a lot of really great fics. :(

This is why I am a paranoid bitch and save the fics I love to my hard drive and archive my own fics in a variety of places.
