Working for me...
Can you clear your browser cache and try again?

Browser cache
Clearing the local browser cache is NOT the solution. Because the server will continue to send the same response, since that IP address has already exceeded the limit of requests for that day.
The only solution is to cool your heels and wait for 12 to 24 hours, so that the server can reset the request counter for your IP address.
Please see my comment below.
It’s been working for me…….
Without any issues.

Fictionmania "moving to another server"
I don't get an HTTP error, but
fictionmania.tvshows a single page with the messageand any URLs pointing into the site (e.g.,
http://fictionmania.tv/searchdisplay/new7.html) fail with a 404.Server or domain
There are three domains that you can use to access Fiction Mania:
It appears to me that the
.ORGseems to be the canonical site, and the others just redirect there.Fictionmania works right now for me
using this address: https://www.fictionmania.tv/search/authorshort.html
No issues, no problems. No error messages, no moves.

The reason for the 429 error
According to the RFC6585 the HTTP response code 429 is a client error. The explanation is:
In other words, the number of page requests — even page refreshes — from your [public] IP address has exceeded a certain limit imposed by the server, usually within the current day in the server's timezone.
To resolve the issue/error you just need to wait for the controlling time period to expire. The easiest way is to wait 24 hours, and the issue should resolve itself.
When Fiction Mania responds with a 429 error, the error page gives the reason for that error. The message states:
So the server is trying to prevent attacks and also even out the load and bandwidth usage.
