What's happened to the Big Bang stories

[mcparrot.livejournal.com]

Hi all. This probably isn't the right place to ask, but I don't actually know where is. Does anyone know what's happened to the Big Bang site? I've been reading my way through the stories, when suddenly yesterday it just disappeared. I just get a "server not found" message.

I'll be really disappointed if this site has just disappeared. There's amazing stuff on there - fic and art.

Oh, this is sad news!
All the same, some of the fics are on AO3 too: http://archiveofourown.org/tags/Stargate%20Atlantis%20Big%20Bang%20Challenge/works
And a list of the works is on fanlore too: http://fanlore.org/wiki/SGA_Big_Bang_Challenge
With title and author you can google and see if the fic has an alternate location somewhere on the web. ;)
ETA: The Wayback Machine seems to be working for the site too! ;)

Bummer, I was just about to start re-reading all the BigBang fics :-(

Thanks for the links endeni :-)

Thank you so much for the links. I didn't know there was a tag for them on AO3 so that's really helpful.

I don't know the names or authors of any of them. I'm new to the fandom and was having a lovely time just reading through the whole list - Alphabetically by author from bottom to top actually. I'd got up to about S in the authors. At least this way I should be able to find most of them.

I still can't believe the whole thing just disappeared so suddenly. Does anyone know what happened?

No problem, glad to be of help! :)
I really hope the site going down is just temporary. Anyway, has anyone tried asking for clarifications at the Big Bang LJ? http://sgabigbang.livejournal.com/
Oh, and I noticed that some stories are archived on the AO3 but not tagged under the "Stargate Atlantis Big Bang Challenge" tag so if you want alternate locations to the Wayback Machine links mischief5 so helpfully compiled you might try the AO3 search engine - also if at first a 'fic name' + 'author name' doesn't yield results you could try with just the fic name, sometime the stories are archived under a new username. ;) Plus it seems like some stories are archived at Wraithbait too. ;)

I've made a list of the SGA Big Bang fics, their summaries, and new Wayback URLs if anyone wants it. If nothing else, it'll help in the search for other locations. Feel free to PM me your email addy and I'll send it out. :)

Thank goodness the website with all the stories are back!

By the way, everyone that has made an attempt to save links to them are frigging awesome!
