Okay, first let me say this: I really appreciate that people are creating fiction archives and are maintaining them, fixing them, improving them etc. I couldn't do it, so I'm glad others can.
Then let me ask you this: if you have an archive, is it really so hard to keep the links to the stories the same, for, say a period of more than three months?
If it is really really hard, impossible to do, I apologize for what I am going to say, but since I know about 100 archives whose links work for years, I will be a bitch and assume that it cannot be that hard to do. So if the fucking NCIS fiction archive changes its links about 10 times a year, I have every right to complain, don't I?
I keep a recs page, and yes, it may not be the best recs page of all times, but I have almost 500 recs up there, 72 of which are NCIS recs. Now, I'm sure there are other NCIS recs sites, but right now I can't think of any with an equal amount of NCIS recs. It's not like I do nothing for this fandom, so I think I deserve the right to be a bit bitchy about this. And one thing I can tell you for sure: it's damn hard to keep a good recs page if you have to update all your links every other months, because they change all the time.
But that's it, no more NCIS fiction archive linking for me unless it's absolutely necessary. And if it wasn't the only NCIS specific archive out there, I would pull my fics as well, cause really, what's the point ofhaving them there if nobody can find them?

If you need me, I'll be at
oceanas_recs changing about 50 links.
