...Because sometimes in life you see a truly ill-advised decision, and just have to take it.

A screenshot of a 'fic with a copyright slug to the (censored) 'fic author.

Then: I don't own anything! Pwease don't sue me Anne Rice!
Now: This 'fic belongs to me, and you should probably pay me for it.

1. Go to asofterworld.com

2. Click Fnord

3. Use whatever strip comes up for inspiration for a 'fic (imagery, text, alt-text, whatever)

4. Repeat until satisfied

Bonus, if you wish: three panel strips are a triple drabble, six panel strips are a sextuple drabble. If you get the 1000th strip… good luck!

Given the probable disconnection of Livejournal, I decided to archive what Livejournal ‘fic I could on my to-read list, mostly from the Crack Van (which is itself archived on Dreamwidth, but many of the ‘fics linked from it aren’t).

I in general find trawling for old ‘fic to be a fascinating endeavor, and it was really heartening in the not-insignant amount of cases where I didn’t have to archive a ‘fic because, well... it was already archived. People care about preserving these works of subcultural art, and have for a long time.

 I went to check out an old 'fic writer that I was a major fan of years ago on a whim and found that all of the stories of a series of hers I very much enjoyed are now gone. The decision was a recent one-- I'd tried to re-read her 'fic half a year ago or so and the stories were still there. I'll admit, in retrospect the 'fic was far from groundbreaking (though, admittedly, I only read one of her very old 'fics then), but it shaped a fair bit of my adolescence, and it was a shock to see it go. With this and the Tumblr purge, it's certainly a foray into the impermanence of the medium.

Even though I can't say that I'll exactly enjoy re-reading the 'fic now (though I'm fairly convinced to try again), I'm not archiving and saving what's left out of... sheer historical significance, I suppose. The Wayback machine doesn't on the site, so there's nothing left of the deleted 'fic, and I'll just be downloading it instead.

In all, this has certainly been an... experience. I'm not a person who likes loose ends. If there's something from the past that I haven't found and only recall hazily, it sticks; about every year or so I search on the internet for one book I read out of a desk in my Maths class.
