Fanwork Archiving

[extrapenguin]

In light of recent OTW revelations (full receipts at synonymous, tl;dr is their Trust & Safety practices are a nightmare and their response to a whistleblower is to have Legal commit defamation by implication heavily implying that volunteer was behind the CSEM spam attacks last year):

satsuma posted about posting, sharing, and saving fic outside AO3; the most useful might be melannen's How to Make Your Own Fanfiction Archive (using NeoCities), and nianeya's AO3 works downloader (apparently it'll page through all subpages automatically? neat)

I might spend the weekend scraping the HTML of my works from AO3 and then making my own NeoCities page – tei has even set up a fanfiction webring! – as a form of participating in a past I skipped over. I might also slide into other applicable archives. (Melannen is archiving small book fandom fic! I have a bunch that fit the bill.)

ETA: I made one! Extremely bare, but upcoming.

Thank you for the links.

You're welcome! It's been fun setting up my own little archive. So far I've done all the art and IF, most of the vids, and absolutely none of the fic.
