Oh. My. God.

The Quill is gone. It's GONE. Completely. The person that housed the server just up and left without any notice and the data's been lost. Zsenya is in shock - and it's just...

She asked the professors and a few others to spread the word - so, I am.

The Sugar Quill, if it ever goes back up again, will not do so for at least a few weeks.

The archive has been backed up - at least, before this Wed. updates, but everything else...

I'm in such shock. I can't believe it. It's simply devastating. All that work, all the joy from the new site - and now it's just gone.

Will write more when I get my jaw back off the ground.

According to B, the situation's improved to the extent that we might have the Quill proper back within a few days.

It still SUX though. *hugs*

Really? Oh, that's wonderful. I just felt so bad for Z and James and everyone else who had put so much work into it!.. I can't believe how irresponsible that host was. He could at least have given proper warning.

Oh, but on the bright side, I have a half-read "The Liar" next to me even as I type. :)

it really does! i love it! it has such gems in it - one of my favorite parts is this:

"The English language is an arsenal of weapons; if you are going to brandish them without checking to see whether or not they are loaded you must expect to have them explode in your face from time to time."

Brilliant!

his sense of humor is perfect - sharp and witty and takes no hostages. wonderful.
