DW fic archive thoughts
2 Sep 2023 13:26I, unlike some, am not boycotting AO3, but I have made a NeoCities backup archive for my fics, vids, art, and singular IF. (I might add a resources page for stuff I've found useful in my time in e.g. cfandoms.) I'm wondering whether I should back up things to a DW comm as well and maybe get some actual non-AO3 feedback. Apparently even if you backdate things will show up in order posted, not ordered by the set date? Which means I'd want to post them in chronological order. Possibly starting with 2020 fics? Or 2021 - neocities is 2021 + outliers from before.
Tags would be for fandom and I guess I'd want some sort of topic tag (e.g. for t: smut: f/f, t: worldbuilding), but what other sorts of topics/themes/etc would people find useful/interesting on a DW fic archive? What about character tags? (I am at heart a gen author. Ship tags are almost certainly not happening, though ships would be mentioned in the preamble of the post.)
None of this is happening until ... well, possibly very slowly later this month, but let's say mid-October. Unlike with neocities, I won't be bulk uploading, but taking a more measured pace, sort of like a time travel jaunt. I'm not sure if anyone else will be interested in this pacing for a reread/retread of my 2020 output, but I figured it might be a cool way to do crossposting in a manageable way.
