Athenaeum notes -

The Athenaeum is maintained by bardeyes, Penthesilia, and BritBard.  bardeyes oversees all page design, site maintenance, page updates, and also writes reviews. BritBard, the author of Keeping Faith and The Night will More Than Pay, contributes fan fiction reviews, and has also promised to keep the plants throughout The Athenaeum watered and cared for.  Penthesilia, who has authored several non-X:WP works, will also be helping to write reviews, and will also help in keeping the Amazons from raising too much of a ruckus amongst the scrolls stored here.  You can find Penthesilia's scrolls in her corner of The Athenaeum

  • As you can see, updates to the What's New page have resumed.  :-)  I'd like to take a moment to thank the people who sent me words of support during the last 4 days, and who very vocally voiced their support of my policy of not including sites that post "violent rape as erotica" stories.  No...let me be more informal here - The incredible outpouring of good will that I have received over the last 4 days has been extraordinary.  Many of the message I received touched me very very deeply indeed.  Last Sunday I had begun to question my desire to continue to work on this site.  It seemed, at that time, that the majority of people sending me messages would not have had me continue to maintain this site.  Working on this site takes a great amount of time and effort, and I was uncertain if it was worth it anymore.  It's now four days later, and in those four days nearly 250 people have sent me some of the kindest messages that I've ever read.  Many have shared their personal experiences relating to rape or abuse, and those messages have had a very definite impact on me.  More then once I was moved to tears at the events that were related to me by people who know nothing more about me then the fact that I have a nickname of "bardeyes" and that I happen to run a X:WP fan fiction index.  I know some of you told me that I need not reply to your messages, but I promise you, I will reply to each and every one.  YOU are the reason that this site will continue.

    To all of you who accuse me of practicing censorship, I simply reply that I have not removed a single story or site from the Internet.  I have infringed upon no person's freedom to post whatever he or she wishes to on their own site.  I am a firm believer in freedom of speech and freedom of the press.  However, freedom of speech/press does not give one the right to demand that others help you promote your speech.  There is plenty of room for all of us on the Internet.  If you don't like my site, there are plenty of other exceptional X:WP fan fiction sites out there, as well as (at least) two other well done index sites.

  • I've a small request to everyone who has sent me fan fiction to host on my server in the last week.  In the last week the number of personal e-mails I've received has probably come close to 500, and I can't be positive I placed everything in the correct folder for saving.  So, if you've not heard from me by late evening this coming Sunday, please contact me again.

  • I apologize for the lack of updates to the New Fan Fiction section of my site.  My "Important Notice" above has caused quite an uproar I am told (although I truly cannot understand why it has caused such an uproar).  In the last few days I've received a fair amount of rather vocal and venomous negative e-mail messages regarding my policy.  I've also gotten some thoughtful commentary from people regarding this issue, some disagreeing with my stand, and some agreeing with it.  Regardless of you disagreeing or agreeing with my policy, I thank those who have maintained a calm, thoughtful attitude in their messages.  I also would like to take a moment to thank the very kind people who have sent some wonderful words of support for my policy.  You've made the last few days much easier for me.

    I'm afraid that these last few days have made me rather weary.  The flames regarding this issue were rather hard to take, and indeed were completely unexpected.  I'm going to take a few days away from the net, watch some X:WP episodes, and try to remember exactly why I spend so much time working on this web site.

    When will I return? Soon I hope.  Perhaps as soon as tomorrow, but to be honest it might be two or three days.
