Okay. I've resigned myself to no FTP and went to Brinkster for reliable no-ads free hosting. It means poor bandwidth, but no one ever goes to the Society site anyway, so it doesn't matter. It also means uploading files five at a time, which is excruciatingly slow, but hey...better than nothing. There are clones of this site up at Topcities and Zero Catch, but hopefully that won't matter too much. So the new site is at: http://www31.brinkster.com/sotliterati/. Hard to remember, but probably not as difficult as http://www.geocities.com/sagaludi/SocietyoftheLiterati, in the end.
Why is Fanfiction.net down? I need to read the next installment of Bridlewood Manor!
Five minutes later: Thank goodness, the upload process is actually working at a pretty good pace. I've gotten the HTML files up, but the image files...well...let's see what happens. Brinkster is pretty sophisticated with its File Manager user interface (all sorts of cool scripts) but the problem is, it doesn't always work. Nevertheless, it's working now, so let us cross our fingers and hope. (Why am I talking in the royal plural? I have a thin, thin, almost negligible strain of royal blood in me, and it doesn't really count because the ancestor in question was married to the king and not directly of the royal line. Lyd-chan is probably more royal than me.)
As you can see, all this free hosting business is driving me insane. I am tempted, oh so tempted, to just move this site onto the Ender's Jeesh domain, but it'll be so weird to have the Society as a subdomain in an Ender's Game fan site.

Post-script: The second version Society site is fully up but downloads at an abysmally slow rate. But hey, it's up and looks better than ever! And no ads! Plus, if you are a Society member, you can give me an LJ-esque icon to put on your very own profile page. Aren't I so nice?
