[edit] Timeline
- November 2000 saw concern about FanFiction.Net's review alert feature. Cassandra Claire would make her one and only post to fanfictionnetwriters asking if review alerts were down. [1] This type of thing goes towards demonstrating how central FanFiction.Net was to both Heidi and Cassandra Claire's fannish experience and the importance of reviews in that community. Heidi was actively plugging Cassandra Claire still and her plugs were generally similar to "Cassandra Claire's work archived at FanFiction.Net." Her own work was also archived there. Both read fan fiction that was posted there. Its up time, down time and feature functionality were important to their fannish involvement. It was also important in terms of promoting Cassandra Claire's work. The more reviews Cassandra Claire had, the more she received and the larger her readership became. Heidi just could never match Cassandra Claire in this way and never seemed really to try to match her.
- On July 28, 2001, FanFiction.Net began what would be an extended downtime. This was a considerable help to the launch of FictionAlley.Org, and Heidi and others on the FictionAlley.Org staff capitalized on this downtime in their posts on HP_FanFiction. [2] These parties used the opportunity to plug FictionAlley.Org. This extended downtime continued until at least July 31, 2001. There have been rumours floated in fandom that the timing of FanFiction.Net being down coinciding with FictionAlley.Org being opened was suspicious. In an interview on AIM with Steven Savage in July 2006, he killed this rumour citing that the server had been having problems for some time because of the traffic load and additional features offered on the site. FanFiction.Net was not hacked and FictionAlley.Org had nothing to do with it. This is supported by a post made by Steven Savage at that time on fanfictionnetwriters which mentions the server problems. [3]
