We are pleased to be able to finally release some details of Mage, our brand-new, specially-designed archiving program for Sycophant Hex. We are confident that Mage will solve many problems that have long plagued fanfiction archiving and contain many additional features that will delight both our authors and our readers.

The biggest request for upgrades and features at Sycophant Hex has always been a universal log-in between all the archives. Installing this type of feature would have closed SH down for several weeks. Fortunately, we have created what we feel is an even better solution. We are pleased to announce that we now have the server capacity and programming capability to combine all the archives (Ashwinder, Chaos, Lumos, & etc.) to create one central library: Sycophant Hex. Instead of closing down SH for several weeks, we will be closed only for several days while everything is merged into one database.

The SH Admins have been planning the transition needed to switch programs and merge the archives for several months. When we are finished, all stories posted in all the archives will be retained and will be easily accessible through a central source. We will do everything in our power to make this upgrade as painless as possible for all of our members. The projected date of our move is late Spring or early Summer. More details will be available in the near future.

If there any questions or concerns, please post them to our forums under the “Mage” thread. We will develop a list of Frequently Asked Questions with official SH Answers as we get closer to the big event.

Sincerely,
The Staff of Sycophant Hex

PS: Admins will fixing formatting issues on older stories to solve any problems for our new program.
