Henneth Annun Archive Closing! Can't Post

Sad news, everyone. Henneth Annun Story Archive ( http://www.henneth-annun.net/ ), one of the oldest and most influential fanfic archives and research centers, is closing due to repeated server hacks. According to the site admin Anglachel:

"The problem is technical and security retrofitting, which would involve new hardware, new server software and then a total overhaul of the application code for HASA itself. This is several hundred hours of work. I don't have that time and the cost to hire someone to do it at current rates is six figures."

The site admins are in the middle of moving all research onto a basic content hoster, and trying to get the stories archived on AO3. Nothing is settled yet, so if you want to have favorite stories around later, please download them now. You can use Calibre + the FanFiction Downloader plugin, or a standalone Fanfiction Downloader program to save fics easily and automatically in ebook format (details here: http://www.henneth-annun.net/forums/messages.cfm?confId=0&forumId=915&messageId=55476 )

Please signal boost this to any friends in LotR, Hobbit or Silimarilien fandom. The official HASA Livejournal is a good place to check for updates and where fic is being archived too: http://hasalj.livejournal.com/

I'm sorry to hear this [In reply to] Can't Post

I am not a huge fan-fic fan but I did spend some time reading a few stories there in the past.

I especially liked one series so much that I emailed the author to tell her stories. I just checked... I saved off those stories 10 years back.

But I appreciate the heads up because I would have wanted to do so if I hadn't already.

Oh, I thought this was you!! [In reply to] Can't Post

I assumed it was a part of your site that was closing. I am so glad that it is not.

Call me Rem, and remember, not all who ramble are lost...Uh...where was I?
