ok ao3 being down is putting the fear of god in me I need to archive my fics off site once it's up again

I keep saying I'm going to post them all to a non-RP fandom DW or a neocities site like I'm a fic author from the late 90s but I have been LAZY and I am the kind of freak who sometimes writes directly in the box without a backup

Oh... you really do like to live on the edge...

anyway I'm so serious who wants to make a silly little webring

mecha jesus : LIVING DANGEOUSLY 💦

god same with the way they've been Behaving lately i need to boot up the ol neocities

PriestBlaster20 : yeah lfmao like Just... In Case...

It's likely a DDOS, iirc

And I'm considering doing those things as well, I would be down to webring with you if I do :}

All my work is in word docs but as a stopgap, you can download them straight from the AO3 page. Just so you have them, y'know?

That is, if you're a madlad who uses the site editor!!! 😩

everyone get in my webring for cool people only

AND YES i do know that i can grab em that way... i'll have to go through and just do the download gauntlet

Oh yeah fair enough

my final draft always goes to ao3 and i like to think i write my drafts in a gdoc or on paper

This doesnt always happen

i'm just resigned to the fact that if/when ao3 eventually dies all my fics will die with it, having reached the end of their natural lifespan

I mean. FFnet has somehow limped along all this time so who knows.

For better or for worse, my fics from 2002 are still on there...

ʀᴏᴡʟᴀɴᴅ 🏏 : LMAO god i cant let them go i'll cry i am still actively writing and i have too much stuff i love

mecha jesus : omfg same i cant delete em theyre historical record at this point

(I actually don't think they're THAT bad. For being written by a 14-year-old.)

brainblast i just had if you download your fics as html, there is no reason you cant pop those html files up as is onto neocities

THAT'S THE PLAN BABEY

WE'RE DOIN IT. WE'RE MAKING IT HAPPEN.
