Sorry :-) . If it had been deleted I wouldn't have mentioned it
at all since the contention was that such sites were
disappearing.

Okay. That makes sense. 

For a lot of these sites we (the reader) are at the mercy of
both the archivist and the writers of that particular fic genre.
And the hosting site. For a long time there Saphicslayer seemed
to be broken (to me anyway) because of the way the hosting
company (Tripod) puts in it's advertising... it screws up some
browsers so you can't even read the fics.

It certainly feels like it has... there is the occasional other
pairing but they seem to get lost in the crowd unless you hunt
for them. And of course the whole anti-NC-17 thing affects
things also.

No. Personally I tend to hang out on more niche sites like
'Twisting the Hellmouth' but there's very little femslash there.
