For ff.net to get rid of the NC-17 stuff may have been smarter and they're certainly within their rights to choose what content they do and don't want, but the way they did it was skeezy beyond belief. (It was 2002; they shut down for a day, ostensibly as a Sept.11 memorial, and removed them all without telling anyone.) Big part of the reason why I've never posted there and never will.
Ff.net's problems relate to what I'm talking about--too damn big and unwieldy. I think an archive that tries to be all things to all people is bound to run into this problem; it's just unmanageable, and quality suffers in the name of quantity.
I don't remember if I ever saw the 'Black Cauldron' movie. If I did, it sure didn't make nearly the impression on me that the books did! Oh, Evangeline Walton's writing is just beautiful! The Mabinogion tetralogy has just been reissued in an omnibus edition.
