I spent most of today working (except for the one hour I took off to go running, which was awesome) and I finished all the sketches for my current project. Tomorrow I'll just have to prep them for emailing. Right on schedule for once. :o) I want to finish this in a timely manner, so I don't have to do a rush job when it's time to take off for Comic Con.

Man, by the time this book is done, I'll have deserved a vacation.

On a different subject, no idea what the frek happened to the Better Buffy Fiction Archive. I haven't heard from our gracious host at s8219 yet, so I have no idea what's going on. I'm hoping that the domain just expired or something like that. Given that the site went offline only days after

scribesds's sites got hacked, I'm not overly optimistic though. I just googled around a bit and was kind of stunned how many Buffy archives have been hacked since last year. WTF? Seriously, what's the point of hacking a fanfic site of all things. But I guess looking for the point behind vandalism is... pointless.

In any case I have made a complete backup so even if the current version should be really lost, it should be possible to get the thing up and running again quickly, once I know where to set up shop. Just don't know when I'd have the time to do it. I suppose the time-consuming part would be figuring out how to change the file permissions, and I'm not exactly looking forward to that. :P

:( That's such a shame.

When

estepheia wrote about her archive being hacked, the first thing I did was, go and make that complete backup. Mighty glad I got one now.

I'd already considered moving the archive to its own domain a few times, but it'd mean a bunchload of work plus all those links becoming defunct at oncem so I abandoned the thought. But maybe the time has come. I have to look into getting a domain anyway; I need one for my own rl work, too.

So it's still down? Who does that? Gah.

It's great you have a backup but it also sucks that you have to do all that exrea work. Wish that just once they could catch a hacker, just one to make an example of.

Is it only the Buffy fiction sites that are copping it?

One really wonders. And why, dammit? We're a lovable fandom. :P

I'm not multi-fannish (only reading in Buffy, Bones, and NCIS) so the only thing I ever hear of other fandoms is via metafandom or fandom_wank. Haven't seen anything like this mentioned there. But someone on bbf just said that sites in Sailor Moon and other fandoms have been going down, too. Dunno. It's confusing.
