The disappearances I am refering to are anifics and ranmafics. For some reason, the person running anifics has spontainiously decided not to host fanfiction anymore, meaning I no longer have access to authors such as Chilord, Nighthawk, or Jonathon Ford (as their sites were hosted on anifics). Also, ranmafics.com (a.k.a. Ranchan & Co. Crossing Bridges) suddenly no longer exists (if anyone else can actually access it without getting the "cannot find this page" message, please tell me), so there goes a hell of a lot of good crossover fiction.
Does anyone know the reason for either of these events? Because it's bugging the hell out of me not being able to find some of my favourite fics anymore for no apparent reason.
