BJFic needs your help!

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

irishcaelan made a post here just a little bit ago.

Here's the deal:

1.) She needs a backup person for the site. She's handling it alone, and if she happens to be out of commission and the site goes down, someone needs to be able to get it back up and running. So, website people, if you can, please consider lending a hand.

2.) BJFic isn't a free site. Cael is handling the costs herself, but as you might expect, this can be a hardship at times. There are donate buttons on the main page, as well as links to Amazon.com where you can order whatever your heart desires. Again, if you can, lend a hand, and keep one of the largest QAF archives alive and working!

ETA:

Here is the link for donations: clschiller@paypal.com

Again, thanks, everyone!

Okay, between me and Cael, we're gonna get this damn thing right!!!

clschiller@comcast.net

ETA 2

The lovely flamencanyc did a wonderful job of summing this up way better than I did.

The link you go to is http://www.paypal.com
When asked to whom you'd like to send money, you enter the person's e-mail address. In this case, it's clschiller@comcast.net
Then follow the rest of the instructions.

And to address some concerns I've heard voiced:
I would be comfortable doing this only because I know what I'm supporting and want to do so -- I think that bjfic.net is one of the best laid out QaF archives we have (I just wish it took all QaF rather than B/J only, and that everyone would archive there) -- and I know Cael. Others should do the same only if they feel comfortable doing so. There's no pressure, no requirement to contribute. It's simply the community pitching in to help a long-time fan keep a community resource alive.

Thank you, Flame!!

She said she has a backup person for the site, but implied that he'd be more available if she could actually pay him.

To be clear: by going through the amazon.com link on the front page of bjfic.net whenever you're going to buy something from amazon, bjfic.net gets a small cut.
(I know you know that, but I wanted to make sure that it's clear to everyone else.)

Here is the link for donations: clschiller@paypal.net

Um, that's not a link.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

It would help if there was someone that can fix a down site to be available.

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm in the middle of inspections, so I'm hoping that people follow the link back to her post as well. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough for everyone.

Any help is appreciated, I'm sure.

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

It was fine for me.

However, given how tech illiterate many people in fandom are, it seemed to me the clearer we can make this, the more likely more people will pitch in.

*raises hand*

I'm getting better. I was SO BAD years ago. The pretty link cuts? Took me a year to figure that out. lol

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

Lol, you replied before I could finish editing my comment to add:

So, to clarify for them...

And as you said, the other helpful option, once it's back up, is using the Amazon link on the bjfic homepage.

Flame, would you mind if I take this comment and pasted it as an ETA to the post?

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

Of course not. Please do.

[irishcaelan.livejournal.com]

crap. it's paypal.com

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Let me fix it, sorry about that!

[irishcaelan.livejournal.com]

no it's clschiller@comcast.net and yes, drugs are your friends except on the internet.

Now you see why I need a backup.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Depends on the drugs. rotfl

I have no excuse other than I'm in the middle of unit inspections, and posted on the fly.

[irishcaelan.livejournal.com]

Nah, I cheerfully (drugs, remember?) own this one. I recall you from QAF and that you were rather strident but fair.

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

Cael, check out this comment:

ETA: Crap. Never mind. You obviously already saw it. My browser stopped loading the page early.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Ah, so you handle queer eyes now! Nice to meet you!!

Ummm...that what was asked?

[irishcaelan.livejournal.com]

I offered ages ago to take queer eyes off gio's hands - good job she didn't take me up on it.

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

I would like to donate but want to check...I donate to...clschiller@comcast.net....via paypal right?

[flamencanyc.livejournal.com]

Yes.
