Anyone worth reading at slashcity.com?

Having become annoyed at bjfic and midnight whispers for different reasons, I'm looking to branch out. Anyone worth reading at slashcity.com? QAF-US only, please.

ETA: well, not exactly what I was asking for, but some interesting comments on alternative archives and places to look for stories.

Some of Hollyilex's stuff is good, but be warned there are stories that have Brian and Justin apart for several years

However if you are looking for alternate sites where you can find good B/J stories I highly recommend Across the Pond and Moonshadow Tribe

http://qaf-fic.com/atp/

http://www.mags-nificent.com/MSW/QAF.htm

However, warnings for both sites are as follows. 99% of the stories I've come across on Across the Pond are all labeled as incomplete when in fact they actually are finished, so you don't know if they are finished or not going in.

Moonshadow Tribe has a similar problem in that many of the stories are marked as complete and some are not marked at all. Also I believe most stories on this site are complete, however there are one I know of that is still regularly updated, though you have to go to each story individually to find out where it stands as the site is split up by author and there is no recent updates page that I am aware of.

Please don't make these warnings keep you away. Both of these sites have some excellent complete stories. Of course you may already be aware of these sites and just didn't mention them in your post. If that's the case, maybe this post will help someone else checking out the comments on your post!

If you will be new to Moonshadow Tribe let me highly recommend Thyme. (This will mostly only be good for you if you enjoy AU B/J)

Unfortunetly, I know what you mean about MW. There is really only one story there that I LOVE that is being updated, and the author takes such care to make each chapter perfect that it seems she goes at least a week between each post. There seems to be a sad lack of extremely talented authors who are currently posting. Of course one does have to make allowances for RL, which we all know can easily get in the way. Though luckily, we still have LJ.

Actually, I've read quite a bit at Moonshadow Tribe
I wish that they dated the stories so you know when they were written and updated. I find things that are updated! that are over a year old.

As I posted above, I haven't found a lot that I've read at ATP that caught my fancy, other than Rizabeau and Hephaistion Lo -- but quite frankly, that certainly was enough to make it worth the trip.

I have asked them for a year to put more info regarding updates. If you go to the Authors Page they do list what has been updated that week. It helps a little. Their explanation was that since they are not an archive it's impossible for them to do a "recent updates" page or something like it. I usually just peruse the list of authors and look for something recently updated.

I'd be happy if they'd just put a year on the update info, so I could differentiate from May 2009 and previous years

They do put the most recent update date, including the year, on the main author's page. It's better than nothing, I guess.

This is off-topic, but does anyone know if Moonshadow Tribe is on Geocities, which will be gone by month's end??

according to WHOIS, it looks like they are hosted by A-Plus Net

That's good to hear. I worried for a moment. Thanks, Net!!
