From me, I bid you all goodbye, laeta ♥

MINUSWAVE.COM, in association with laeta, presents the
---Live(*) Holiday Give Away---




(*) pre-recorded :p

Winners can PM/mail me their adress and I'll send off the prizes :)

Good news everyone! Just when the end was nigh, kisarazumama has stepped in and agreed to take over the site :)
There'll be a bit a transition period so we can both sort our ends out, but after, the site will go on as before.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
This journal WILL CLOSE and everyone's invited to join/watch:

Holiday Give Away is still going ahead, so you can still add your name to the hats, if you haven't done so already!

Now that the end is nearing for this little archive, I still have a Saiyuki pencilboard and two DJs lying around that I had intended for challenge prizes at some point. Since there won't be any more challenges, I'm giving them away for free as a thank you for you all who have supported this archive for 5 years.

Here's how it works: leave a comment to this post (comments are screened) saying which of the three prizes you would like (you can only pick one :p).
All the names will go into three hats and some time next month, I will draw a name out off each hat for each prize and contact the winners.

( Prizes this way... )

Hello my fellow Saiyuki Yaoi fans.


As you may have noticed, this archive is pretty much dying. I haven't had submissions for months and challenges barely get responses. All very understandable in a time of LJ, (A)FF.net, AO, etc, where it's easy and probably much more convenient for writers to post their fics. Not really much use for an old-skool web-based archive like this.

So, basically, I'm closing shop. If there's anyone out there who feels they can breathe new life into it, I'm more than happy to transfer control. Currently the site is hosted at SurpassHosting for $6,00 a month, but obviously you can move it if you wish. Domain name is paid off till November 2012. If anyone's interested, they can contact me at minuswave@hotmail.com

If there's nobody willing to take over, I'll leave the site up till the end of the year but not accept anymore submissions. That way everyone has plenty of time to grab copies of fics they want to keep. After that, it will go *poof*.

Adieu, it's been a fun ride!

A happy New Year from Minus Wave and what better way to celebrate than with statistics ;)



Another full year has passed for the archive. So let's see what the fourth year of the archive has brought us.

In 2010, the site archived another 66 entries, bringing the total up to 601. Together they comprise 476 fic. 220 of those fics are rated NC-17 (46%).

Thank you all very much for your submissions!

There are currently 12 fics listed as WIP, all of which have not been updated for at least one year.

4 new pairings were added this year, bringing the total up to 60 different pairings (and that's excluding various moresomes)

January was the busiest month for the site in terms of traffic; September again the slowest.

The top three hits in 2010:

Of course this is heavily skewed by the length of time a fic has been in the archive and whether or not it is externally linked to.

1. Ready? by Gonou's Girl (Gojyo/Hakkai; PG-13)
2. Some Things Stay the Same by lillypuff (Gojyo/Hakkai; PG-13)
3. Bound by Eyes of Shinigami (Goku/Sanzo; NC-17)


Some other noteworthy statistics:

Gojyo/Hakkai have held on to the top spot for Archive's OTP. They were the main pairing in 102 fics (21%). Goku/Sanzo closed the gap considerably, but remained stuck in second place with 97 fics (20%). Gojyo/Sanzo got their third spot back with 59 fics (12%).

For the fourth time in a row, Sanzo holds the number one spot for busiest boy in fandom and has even extended his lead. Sanzo featured in 222 fics (including moresomes) (46%). Gojyo is still second with 195 fics (41%). Hakkai's still third with 176 fic (37%). Goku brings up the rear of the ikkou with 143 fic (30%).

After three years, Hakkai has finally been knocked off the top spot as Archive Slut and has been replaced by Goku, being the only one paired up in 11 different combinations. He doesn't do it a lot, but he sure does it with many. The boy really is growing up :p

Thanks for watching!

Cheers,
Laeta

Since there was only one outside submission for the Anniversary Challenge, there was no vote. Both fics have been added to the archive and the Past Challenges Section.
