Oh, I feel the same way about jacked_up. I don't think it's likely to disappear but I worry, and at the time I was active in the fandom I seriously considered trying to get in touch with the mods to try to get co-modship. The thing I really wanted to do was to tag the entries (by character, rating, author, etc.) because they'd done it by memories but of course they stopped when they stopped modding. And they didn't even allow tagging by non-mods so it's just a real hassle to find things there. :( I think revamping the comm would make more sense at this point than trying to get Tweaked Fiction active again. I mean, Tweaked made sense back when so much of fandom was going on on mailing lists or different people's websites, but if one were going to do a central listing or whatever at this point I think it would make more sense to do it at a place like LJ that's easy to use.
What I wanted to do with Tweaked is just keep it open as an archive of fic from the early years of the fandom, and in a way I've done that. Like the link on my profile page goes to the author list. There's also the title list and all the fic that was originally archived on Tweaked is still there, unless the author's asked for it to be taken down.
On the other hand, there are two major things I didn't figure out how to do and I got frustrated trying. One is to edit the sidebar, because if you look at the sidebar on those pages I linked to it's edited to have only relevant links and not the extra stuff like bunnies and betas that's totally out of date. However, there are hundreds of pages at the site and almost all of them have the old sidebar, and I couldn't figure out how to fix that across the board (and I'm not about to go in and edit all the hundreds of pages!). And the other thing I wanted to do is make it so the author listing is the main page, like if you typed tweaked.oscillating.net or tweaked.oscillating.net/index.html you would get the author listing. I tried to do that and all I managed to do was create a 404 where the main page is supposed to be. :(
So, are you interested on working on this? 'Cause if so I could get in touch with Hope again and I think she'd probably be happy to give you the access. It's, um, ftp is the computer thing you're supposed to know how to use, and baranduin walked me through some of it but I never progressed very far.
I did write a C/Z drabble this morning! I'm planning to do a few more this week.
I will say more about Merlin in a bit but right now I want to watch BSG so I can put it in the mail again by 4:30!
