Drinking n' Fighting (DNF) is an adult fiction archive for the slash pairing of Chris Larabee/Buck Wilmington of the television series The Magnificent Seven.
The archive accepts all stories regardless of rating or subject matter that features, highlights any and all aspects of their relationship.
History
The archive began with the mailing list Drinking n' Fighting, created Nov 19, 2002 by Elanor Graves as a present to Charlotte C Hill [1]. Soon afterward, Elanor created an archive for the mailing list. It was exclusively a slash archive, until it was converted to eFiction September 2003 [2]. At the time, the archive was expanded to include Chris & Buck Gen stories.
Change in Leadership
Elanor gave up ownership of the mailing list to Diamondback August 21, 2003 [3], who was the owner briefly, before Charlotte Hill took ownership Oct 19, 2003 [4].
Elanor stayed on as the archivist until 2007 when she handed over the archive to Ashlyn and Limlaith.
Purgatory
In October 2007, Elanor created Purgatory on Charlotte's behalf [5]. It was built for the authors who wished to participate in challenges issued by members of the Drinking n Fighting mailing list but were inspired to write about pairings (or groups) that didn't include Chris/Buck.
