INAP & Moments Lost
Right, to keep people on track with where I'm at right now:
Money donated thus far: $373.02 (after currency conversion and PayPal charges)
Price of hosting package: $382.80* (although I have a referral from an existing user which should mean a discount - even if not I think I can manage the ten dollars)
Now the question - the simplest way to do this would involve a little downtime on the sites. This downtime could be up to two weeks for the registration process of the domain name to go through.
I could on the other hand work out a no/limited downtime schedule using a more complicated system which (since it's me) could be a little more prone to errors which could be corrected quickly.
So - which would you prefer? The sites to go offline completely for up to two weeks (hopefully it would be nowhere near that long in reality) or for the sites to remain online but potentially glitchy?
Either way submissions, reviews and new sign-ups would be switched off for the changeover period so as to ensure that everything is transferred.
*This is for a two-year package

If this is something simple to implement (and only if) can I make a suggestion?
When you click on an author's name you get a list of their fics. One of the fields for each is a "Completed: Yes/No". However if you come in via a link directly to the fic, such as you might if you were coming via a rec or an announcement on your flist, then there's no such indication. For example, if I put a link to "From Here To Serenity" on my LJ then there's no indication on the opening chapter page I've linked to that it's a WiP. If it's a small matter to change, may I suggest that providing such an indication might be worth it?

You're right, it would be good to have that displayed on the story itself.
Cheers!
