I know, I cried too. This completely sucks. My family and I are all working on copying more than 35+ pages worth of Ficlets…I don’t want this site to leave… DX

@NightMaiden, kevin will be launching a “ficelts graveyard” with all of the Ficlets on here, so, thankfully those will not be lost for ever.

kevin has started work on a ficlets successor. yay! all the details are on the Facebook group “i write ficlets”
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=8538&post=76087&uid=24957299712#post76087

I encourage everyone who reads this to go to Facebook (if you can) and join the I write ficlets GROUP .
There, Kevin has assured us that he is working to develop a site similar to Ficlets and will TRY to launch it around Jan. 15…
HE STRESSES , however, that he cannot guarrantee the date of the launch.
I even offered my own services should he require them.

So Ficlets may die .. but something better may be on the horizon.

I know it sounds a little obsessive, but I cried, too. This place is like my home base…its where I go to escape.

I just wanted to add a little detail to the Facebook thread for those that do not, or cannot get an account at Facebook.

I will update regularly.

Go bb’s mother!
Unfortunately, as of late, I do not have a facebook (because, frankly, they scare me). But! It’s good to know that people will have updates, and usually I can find people who know people’s people if need be who know a thing or two.
Geez, I’ve calmed down a bit since the news, but still… one can’t blame that this absolutely, positively sucks.

nesdil: I hear ya..

ALSO : I’d like to point people to an ONLINE place to publish your ficlets (for posterity).

I’m putting all of my backed up ficlets at www.redroom.com .. There are a lot of authors there who publish works .. and there’s even a comments option there …

At the very least it’s a place to put your works online somewhere for others to enjoy.

i cried also.
if it makes anybody else feel better. haa.
i believe i will also be making a call.
maybe i’ll even do it with my fellow ficleteer buddies at school.
>:(

Encourging to see such passion for Writing.
shame AIM has ruined this creative outlet

Bad AIM ! Bad AIM ! No cookie for you! EVER ! >:(
All of AIM ’s cookies will now, and for all eternity, be forwarded to Kevin (even if the successor to Ficlets doesn’t appear, he’s trying).
I don’t know WHAT I could do, but I will definitely be offering my services, should I be able to help Kevin et al in some way.

I cried yesterday and today. It seems like the only people that understand are you guys, and I don’t want to loose any of you!

I also cried. I’m SO glad Kevin is making a ficlets successor… I can’t imagine a life without ficlets.

I have yet to cry. I don’t know what that means. I have frowned. I have even been angry. I don’t understand why “we” aren’t important enough to keep happy. It just doesn’t make sense. I guess that’s where I am now.. Utterly confused. :(

This is a sad, dark day in history, my friends… honestly, without ficlets, I could be in a very bad emotional position right now =/

i cried too.
well
i did later
my mom was near me
and she probably doesnt even know about this site.
to kevin and BB’s mom…
best of luck
