Website Woe
Being Human. Mitchell again
[info]josephides
Woah, apparently I failed to renew my website hosting whatsite. I usually get an email about it but apparently that hasn't happened this time. Does this mean I've lost everything on the site? Because, well, that would be a real bugger as I have NO COPIES of anything :-(

Also, this presumably means I can switch from the dreadful HostOnce to something better. Who has a great web host that would like to recommend. I vaguely remember wanting to switch to Karen's but it's a weekend and I think she's asleep and can't help me...

Broadband/Phone HELP!

Yo, Brits. Anyone got a particularly good broadband/phone bundle that you use? I'm inclined towards BT but since I've just spent the last half hour literally being transferred from department to department, I've got a wee bit testy and given up for the time being. I want, ideally, free wireless router and unlimited download capacity and speeds of up to 8MB. I would appreciate any help.

Poll mania and fan fiction habits of the unemployed and debt-ridden
Being Human. Mitchell again
[info]josephides
I am actually vaguely sorry for all the polls I have been inflicting upon you poor sods these last few weeks. This one is less ludicrous than the others. To explain, I have a number of unfinished fics in various fandoms labelled 'What the hell' and 'Why not' - I have no intention of finishing them but keep them on the premise, I always think, that they might one day come in use. They rarely do.

Yes, a fic never stays 'unfinished' for long. I always complete it.
0 (0.0%)

Yes, I finish, even if it takes months and months.
3 (7.3%)

No, sometimes fics get started and just never finished. Sadness :(
29 (70.7%)

No. Often I know I start something with no intention of finishing. For me, it's all about the immediate enjoyment of writing.

If 'no' to above question - why not? What causes the death of your unfinished fics?
