Down for me as well.

I hope everything is ok with FICS, and this is just a glitch...

I was kicked out of Chapters because I moved all the Bibles to the fiction section.

As I quoted in the thread about ICC,
Beuki (an admin at FICS) wrote:Just for info. The traceroute to FICS goes until the building the fics server is in. So it looks like a severe problem within the buildung or the server does not work. Doesn't look like it could be fixed on short term.

I can't connect either. First noticed it when checking my bot logs. Hope everything is ok in the long term.
