Are Sapphire Place and Storysite dead?

I'd prefer the term...

Not dead, but "in stasis". I kling to the hope one day they will become vibrant entities once again! Loving Hugs Talia

In Abeyance, or Legacy Sites

LibraryGeek's picture

Neither Sapphire's Place or Storysite have been updated in years, so in that fashion they're dead. But the site owners have continued to pay for their maintenance, so their contents are still available to us, so in that fashion they are legacy sites. Sapphire, at least, from time to time has made noises of getting it going again, although it's been several years since she's posted at her site to that effect. I haven't checked to see if the Internet Archive is tracking the two sites. I've downloaded the stories I'm interested in from them, just because eventually the maintenance fees may cease being paid, and have them go away. At this time they exist as snapshots of the history of transgender literature on the Internet.

Yours,

Backup

I used WinHTTrack to make a backup from these sites - to be shure ;)

Also...

Our sister site StarDust appears to be heading towards legacy status - the last posted story was back in August, and even back then it was only averaging about a story a week. Then again, I can't remember the last story posted here that didn't meet StarDust's criteria (no under age sex or incest), so may have increasingly been viewed as redundant. OtherWorlds never took off and I think only survived a few months before its proverbial plug was pulled.

Erin's general fiction site Fictioneer appears to be dead and buried, although a subdomain hosts the Tuckerspawn forums, which are very much alive and kicking.
