I was sufficiently motivated by
melannen's post How to Make Your Own Fanfiction Archive, In Just 10 Easy Steps (https://melannen.dreamwidth.org/534629.html) and delighted that some folks seem to be working on recreating Web 1.0 (or maybe 1.5) that I went and squatted on my username at Neocities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neocities "The service's expressed goal is to revive the support of free web hosting of the now-defunct GeoCities."). It's also got at least one fanfic webring. I haven't archived any of my fic there and don't know if I will. I should either do that or make backup epubs from AO3 though. Nothing lasts forever.

Friends are industriously moving nd backing up their fics and exclaiming nostalgiclaly. I have zero energy anyway, and the thought of moving everything makes me sad. I should at least make backups, though.

Date: 22 Jun 2023 07:08 am (UTC)It's also a bummer because I've been through the fandom rinse and repeat cycle like a lot of people, from Usenet to blogs to Livejournal/DW to Tumblr to AO3 to....now what? and every time there's a big readjustment and then later, a big hole. (Except Discord. Jamais Discord. Je ne refusarai Discord!)
