Have you heard?
Ficlets is going away soon :(
It's been a fun ride, and we love you, but we've got to go. We'll be shutting down on January 15, 2009.
If you've written any Ficlets, please back them up as soon as you can.

Heard back from Kevin.
He’s renewed the domain (and it will auto-renew also).
Apparently there are some people who keep an eye on the site and will “kick it when it misbehaves” but nothing more than that at the moment.
He’s trying to see what can be done about changing that but it will take a while.
I’m worried about Ficlets.com’s future.
When I do a whois, I find that the domain is still listed as registered in Kevin Law…
A sequel to Nonfiction: Worried for Ficlets's Future—domain name expiration date approaches on 10/31

Ficlets Thoughts
JUST BECAUSE I WRITE SEQUELS TO MY OWN WORKS DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD BE AFRAID TO JUMP IN YOURSELF. Please do NOT be afraid of “contaminating” my work. Incorporating the works of others into one’s stories is part of the challenge of ficlets, and part of the reason I write here. If I wanted to write the story all by myself, I’d go to writing.com where I don’t have the 1K length limit. Sequel any of my works at any time, PLEASE! At very worst, if I don’t like it, I’ll just write my own sequel instead. I won’t get mad at you for “contaminating” it or messing anything up, honest!
