Fan Nation is a new fanfiction archive, a phoenix risen from the flames of FanLib's demise, aiming to shelter former FanLib members, as well as welcome new readers/writers into our open arms.
This site was conceived and built by two former FanLib members; MissKitten and TheDaringHatTrick as an attempt to salvage our unique cross-fandom community. We are not part of the corporation, but rather dedicated fans, who are not willing to let our community die without a fight. FanLib was the place where the stories continued, Fan Nation is the place where stories never have to end. For all newbies: The FanNation Archive and the FanNation Forum requires separate registrations. We will look into finding a way of combining the two in the future, but as it is now, they are separate entities of the site. For all writers: This is a general advice for all fanfiction authors, not just the ones here on FanNation; make sure to always have a local copy of your story on your own computers or flashdrives. Never trust an online archiving service with the only copy. While they might take every security precaution possible, they can not guarantee 100% safety. Also, as we learned with FanLib, some places tend to shut down, so always be on the safe side. Site News
On behalf of the staff here at FanNation I would like to wish our members all the best for 2010. May this be the year where we realize our dreams.
As site owner it has been a real pleasure to see this community develop over the last year and a half. Of course FanLib had its role, having been the place where many of us met and formed the bonds that helped this place not only survive, but also flourish. However the real people to thank are the former FanLib-ers (and also non-FanLib joiners) who stuck around when this site was new and still finding its place. You guys are the reason this community is still 'live and kicking, so do me a favour and pat yourselves on the back when you read this. I want to thank the staff, both current and former for all the hard work they've put in. Especially I want to thank MonsterMoofie, who willingly took on the administrative role of the forum when our former forum admin made the decision to step down. Also I want to give a special thanks to global moderator, Mediatorsk, who through good times and bad has always given her all for the site. I hope we will find you some help as the new year progresses. I also want to express my thanks to the Featuring Committee, current members as well as former. I don't think people fully realize just how much time and effort goes into picking each story that we've featured on this site. It's a huge process and I am very grateful to each of you for giving up so much of your own free time to do this. Thank you. Another group of people I want to express my gratitude to are those of you who have made the choice to donate. I have privately thanked each and everyone of you, but I feel a public 'thank you' is due as well. True, we have not been able to cover the site expenses purely by donations, but your generousity has certainly decreased my bills, and for that I am extremely grateful. Last, but not least, I want to thank all members of this site for your part in making this site what it is today, whether your contribution consists of stories, reviews, forum activity or a little bit of everything. This place would be nothing without you guys, so I hope you will stay. FanNation might not be the biggest site in terms of members, fanfiction or review ratio, but we are a great community. Because people here care, about writing, about the site, about each other. And it shows.
~ MissKitten
