Guys, is there anyone out there from Winglin? What's happening? I cannot connect to the site for a week and yes, I know I'm not the only one. I have started to feel worried. That's the longest winglin doesn't work. Is the site deleted or something? I hope not and I wish it's just for maintenance...

Well~ I just realized it few days ago, and I'm sure that it's just maintenance 'cuz the owner didnt post anything that he/she will be closing the web.
Besides, that web is so popular and searched by many ppl. I dont think he/she will be that mean to break the heart of so many ppl. T-T
Let's be patience and wait a bit more.

I'm so happy someone asked this question because I'm freaking out about it too! There has been a few times in the past where winglin has been down, but it was always for just 2-4 days. This time, it's already been more than a week....I hope for it to come back so I can finally update my story and read new updates!
There are a few other asian story websites though, if you're interested (:
soompi.com has quite a few fanfics, many of which were posted on winglin.
asianfanatics.net have a few too.
fanfiction.net might have a few, but it's mostly based on western fanfics.
AHH, WINGLIN COME BACK! <3

This has happened to winglin loads of time. It's most likely a maintenance problem with their server. The one before this was actually longer. But this one is about to reach winglin's longest. I'm starting to get worried too. A few days ago i typed in winglin on my browser and firefox would say page "will not load". But now when i type it in it says the address "isn't valid". So I'm practically freaking out now. Everyone seems to be very concerned....I just hope winglin will be fixed soon! My days have been feeling incomplete without reading updates from fanfics. Let's hope it works again!^-^

Winglin goes down every now and then and has done so over the years but it's always come back up so I'm pretty confident that it will. They're most likely doing maintenance due to all the users but I'm annoyed by the fact that Winglin never announces what's happening although you can always email the owner by following the information on the sitelogr site I referenced below.
For now, I use a place called asianfanfics.com to backup my stories and they're pretty friendly over there. They even have an easy Winglin import button to help you backup your stories (for whenever Winglin comes back up).

Ugh. that is the thing that really bothers me with Winglin.. It doesnt load for a few hours.. or in this case DAYS. and you have NO clue when it will be back up again. I don't think it will have been deleted (because Obviously it is a well-loved site) but everyone's worries seem really valid at this point in time. Especially the one who said it went from not loading to not valid. That got me truly freaked out!
I think this whole situation would be better if Winglin actually considered its users and left messages of when it IS going to go down for maintenance so that we don't get scared or whatnot.
all I can say for now is the day winglin does open will be the day that mass updates will come.

i really hope it isn't deleted either. I need to update my fanfic already, and plus there are fics over there that are really good. if you have any fanfictions there i suggest you post them somewhere else if you have a copy. sites like asianfanfiction.com, fanfiction.net, and fictionpress are good sites to post them on. however there aren't really much k-pop, j-pop, etc. fics on the last two sites i've mentioned. there are also some in soompi.
i think winglin is down because of maintenance, because if it's down for a couple of hours-days, it just means it's busy.
there is also this one archive site with a bunch of old winglin fics on it. however they're dated way back in 2008:

there are rumors that it might get deleted, but i find that impossible, since winglin's expiration date is not until next year, based on Whois.
I really hope that it goes back on soon. i wanna read fanfics already! 🙁

They're probably very busy or something.
But I am worried since it's been a week!
-
Geez, I hope it didn't get deleted or anything..! I hope they're just going through technical difficulties or something cause I recently posted up a new fic, and I JUST GOT A POSTER AND BACKGROUND for my story!!! I'm so mad and worried!! XD I hope it comes back soon. I miss Winglin a lot!

It's been 2 weeks since winglin went out and its totally freaking me out, winglin does really shut down about 1-4 days a month but now "2 weeks!!" this isn't really normal... I super love winglin,I really hope that it comes back very soon...
