AFN fanfiction hosting website is in financial trouble again

[shanti_50130]

I'm a long-time lurker and avid reader of all HP fanfictions, though
generally I prefer any that involve our Potions Master.  I frequent a
lot of sites to find new stuff as I read fairly prolifically.

I'm posting to all my lists today because I see AFN is in near-danger
of closing down.  I realize it is not anywhere near a top-quality site
like PSA or Syncophanthex or even fanfiction.net and many others that
I frequent, but it is one at which many budding fanfic writers take
their first tentative steps.  I personally like sites like AFN and FFN
because I think encouraging people to write and express their
imaginations, even if they are not "top notch" quality is a good thing.

Anyway, I don't own or run or even KNOW the people who own or run AFN,
but I thought I'd put this out there.  If you enjoy the site at any
level, please consider donating to them.  I think anyone who has a
story archived there out to especially feel a sense of obligation to
help them out.  Like many sites, they have a huge story archive and
member base.  If everyone who used the site just donated a few bucks
it would make a difference.

I'm done now. *wink*
