Help me save MJFICTION.com

[ChocolateDrop]

Hello everyone, ChocolateDrop here with a News Update: MJFICTION.com has now been shut down. Someone by the name of reafu on X (Aka Twitter), has just messaged me about the update on Facebook. Here is what they said: It is with great sadness that we announce the end of MJFiction. Images were posted by an author which violated a copyright, resulting in our host removing the site. The fix has been challenging due to the age of the platform and lack of patches. Add to that the recent increases to the hosting costs and long standing issues which require time and finances we can’t justify, we have accepted that it is time. Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the years. Whether by posting stories, providing encouraging reviews, or generous donations, you made this site what it was.

That is why we can't let MJs legacy die! I have created a petition on Change.org to start off with as help. With your support, maybe, just maybe we can be able to get the site back up once again. Here's the link: https://www.change.org/p/restore-mjfiction-com-for-michael-jackson-fans/dashboard please take the time to sign. And remember, you can make a difference!!! Let's not let MJFICTION go without a fight!

That is very sad indeed. The link you posted to the petition requires to log in because of the word "dashboard" at the end, so here's the link to see the petition without logging in: https://www.change.org/p/restore-mjfiction-com-for-michael-jackson-fans

Reading what this person said about the problems leading to the closure of the website, it doesn't seem like something a petition alone could fix. I feel one should rather ask the administrator(s) what kind of help they would need that would allow them to keep the website alive. They say the fix has been challenging due to the age of the platform and lack of patches, do they need help from a computer expert? They say the hosting costs have increased, do they need more donations? They say there are long standing issues which require time, do they need more people in their team to help handle the website? If they no longer feel like handling all of this, would they consider handing the website and all the responsibilities that go with it to another fan instead of letting it die? Maybe the petition could ask them to please preserve the data until people have had time to look at what else could be done in order to save the website.

Sounds like a great idea, thanks. Som what do you propose for me to do about it first?

Haven't been on there in forever as I kinda fell out of fanfiction, but it still sucks to hear it's gone.

Thankfully the Wayback Machine has archived it, though I don't know if it got everything. Although since mature-rated stuff required login to view I'm afraid that stuff is most likely lost.

Most recent working link is here, from early July: https://web.archive.org/web/20250710221942/https://mjfiction.com/

Maybe if the owners can't restore it they can upload an archive of the whole site to Internet Archive?

I signed already. Anything I can do to help o it I used to love this website back in it’s heyday. So much great stuff I had my favourites but some of them took off their stories which is quite sad. I do have one that I stumbled upon a year ago and the stories are really really good but they’re all LMP/MJ ones haha. If you want me to share that site let me know haha.

Yeah, I know about the way back Machine, and have been on there as well too. Heck, in order for me to even read the fics from way back, (no pun intended), I have to ask Chatgpt to efm rewrite them since the fics are copyright and it will not be able to get the Archived fics. I can ask them. I even emailed one of them, about the petition, anyone of them emailed back to me by saying this: Seeing as how you offered no help in the way of bearing the financial burden over these years, this is a slap in the face to those of us who ran it.

So I messaged her back:
I can understand that you're angry, and I don't blame you, I wish to God That I was working on order to help, but at this point, I'm still unemployed. I have been putting in applications, an still haven't received any callbacks from anybody. So, this is my only method I know how to do at this point, I'm just trying to help. And even years ago, I was in High School, So please trust me when I say, I wish there was some way What I can do in order to help get the funds in order to bring it back. Please believe me.

What can I do in order to assist?
