queer_scribblingI keep seeing this tumblr post from several followers about how FF.net is circling the drain, and I thought I'd try to save something. Nothing else from that time period has survived between notebooks being recycled or thrown away and different purges on sites.
It's... It's so... Let's just say, not great.
(For some context, "this time period" means, roughly, the late stages of middle school and early stages of high school. The pre-somewhat having a grasp on grammar rules time period. The churning out questionable shit before you have anything half-way decent time period.)
I need to mentally prepare myself to archive this tomorrow. Like, backdate to the time it was posted, turn off comments, restrict to only logged in ao3 users, bury that.
Archival note (December 2023): FF.net is still going. This wasn't a 'panic now' sort of post. This was meant as more along the lines of 'oh yeah, I've been meaning to look into that'.

Date: Wednesday, 27 December 2023 09:49 pm (UTC)It's a bit strange looking at this entry versus the ao3 posts that I've gotten used to - I have to double check what the K+ rating should translate to, I completely forgot there are genre divisions on FanFiction, I don't need a mercilessly short summary on ao3 because I can actually indicate some of the info via Relationship and Additional Tags, and I don't have to put the author notes in the body of the fic itself.

I'll admit that I've been putting this off for years because FF.net doesn't allow for imports, and for reasons unknown to me, I can't highlight and copy+paste the text for a mindless transfer. Maybe I can just save this in a Google Doc and not look at it for another 10+ years...
Archival note: I saved the info in a Google Doc, and I chose to ignore it instead of actually having to look at it and post it on AO3 on the same day.
