I thought I'd let anyone who is interested know that I've created a Yahoo Group to backup my stories. The disappearance of Absolute Chaos was a rude awakening! If you haven't started reading my series, The Coaster Series, yet I encourage you to join! I have each chapter saved as an easy to read pdf. Here's the link: groups.yahoo.com/group/bsb_coaster_series/Thanks! evergreenwriter83

That's a good idea. Everyone should have their stories backed up somewhere, because you never know what will happen when you have them hosted on a site that's not your own, even one that's always been reliable, like AC. Things happen. If nothing else, save your finished work to a flash drive or burn it on CD or even email it to yourself and save it there, so you'll never risk losing it if the website and your computer happened to crash at the same time. Yahoo Groups are a good alternative too.

Good plan. I keep everything backed up on my computer, email, and a flash drive. It used to just be the flashdrive till my comp crashed and died back in December. Once that happened, I got scared cause all my fics were just on a flashdrive. Nothing was lost, but it still made me want a backup plan

I really should back my stuff up on a disc. I have all my fics saved on my laptop and I post them on a couple of sites, but I suppose it might be a good idea to invest in an external hard drive too.

Thanks for joining the group...I'm still chugging away at getting With the Band converted because I'm getting distracted with my need to write Voodoo. I'm getting to the good stuff, lol. As soon as I'm done backing up through the Groups all my PDFs are going to be burnt onto a DVD.
