Most of the sites I've heard of were TOSsed for making downloads of various shows available to people (generally either Dr. Who or Stargate). I personally haven't heard of fic being TOSsed, but I probably wouldn't have even known it happened if people hadn't referred to it in their LJs.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

If I only had a brain...
Oh. Well, the first rule of ahemming is Don't Talk About Ahemming, and that goes double for doing it on your website. Sorry, can't remember where I saw it; it was all vague allusions that made me nervous.

I suspect it was less because of copyright issues than bandwidth and server loads, personally.

Well, I think most people were making the whatsits available via their fic sites with Dreamhost, so the fanfic has been purged along with the ahems.
ETA: what Dana said. Dreamhost made these huge plans available with the assumption that only a fraction of people would make use of the space and bandwidth they had available. And when too many people began using all the space and bandwidth their plans had to offer, Dreamhost started looking for a reason to TOS them.

In your fandoms, my peeps, what would you like to see written most? Not even always a whole story, but just a scene.
Kat/Kara in BSG, because OMG the slashiness. Also Kara/Tigh (not a kink of mine, per se, but I just think it's totally plausible for early Season 3). Dean/Faith. (Having watched the first 11 eps of SPN Season 2 I'm now sorely tempted to write another ficlet in my BtVS/SPN crossover 'verse, because - dude! Amber! As a hot brunette vamp on her own personal 12 step programme! The prospect of Faith/Lenore slays me... and then there's Darla and Dru getting their hands on her....gah.)
Also? Connor/Wesley totally punches my buttons. Yes. Always has. See also Connor/Lindsey (because, dear heaven, Connor is the incarnation of Lindsey's screwed up Angel/Darla longings, looks v. plausibly like both parents, and would afford a truly spectacular opportunity to mess with Angel's head. Oh yes. Yes indeed.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I never knew I wanted this but now I want it so desperately.

Lee and I are both board time. And maybe bored time, too. Which is the perfect time for fic and cocktails.
