Archive your fandom stuff

As we sit on the cusp of changes to the Internet, after your other activities to support Internet freedom, archive your fandom stuff.

Save the electronic files of your favorite online fandom works. Consider print-outs of your favorite online material. And save paper ephemera from fandom events.

Why save? Because you put the effort into a fanwork. Because you may be surprised when a fandom stays alive for years, or gets revived, or when an academic asks to cite your work. Because it’s stupidly hard to find items on Tumblr. Because, lo, in ages past, many fandom archives have risen and fallen, taking favorite fics off the ‘Net. Because it made you happy, makes you remember. Because you never know.

What can you save?

  • Fanart
  • Stories you wrote
  • Epic comments on stories you wrote
  • Stories you love that other people wrote
  • Meta and meta-related discussions
  • Translations others did of your works
  • Physical items: paper ephemera, clothing, accessories, art prints and drawings.

Behind the cut…saving from Tumblr and AO3, delving into lost web sites, how to save computer files for the long term, and why I’m glad I saved physical fandom items from 10+ years ago.

I made this post a year and a half ago. Please read the many comments in the reblogs from archivists and long-term fans!

I beg you, if you love something, some fic, some art, for God’s sake, SAVE IT! In Starsky and Hutch we have 40+ year old zines we’re still saving and photocopying and sharing around, archiving when we can find the writers and get permission. In Star Trek, they have even older ones. They’re precious. The fics that have disappeared from the net can be lost forever. The Wayback is great but it doesn’t get everything. SAVE THE FICS. SAVE THE ARTS. Trust me. You’ll be glad you did.

SAVE. FANDOM. HISTORY.

Alternative Places to Find Me!

We all know by now that Tumblr is likely to be dead thanks to banning NSFW. Although I have gone through my posts and removed any of my own NSFW art, it is likely I missed some and possible that Tumblr won’t like that. So, just in case I disappear on here, or if you are part of the mass exodus, you can always find me on these other sites:

I will continue to post safe for work art on here like normal, but just in case!

Home from New Zealand!

It was an AMAZING trip! An amazing honeymoon! It lasted a bit longer than expected though, as our flight home got cancelled so we ended up being a full day late. Oh well! At least it was coming home, not going there! To my commissioners Thank you for your patience! I'll be getting back to work right away, as in literally right after I type this up! Lots of sketches to turn digital, and hopefully some updates sent off. Check trello and email me if you are conerned about anything! December events December 8th: Iron and Anvil Artist Alley at Ironmonger Brewing!  https://www.facebook.com/events/1066993640141974/ I love this event! There are always so many talented artisans, not to mention tasty beer! I'll have my prints and originals at the event!  December 21: Winter Solstice Gift Market https://www.facebook.com/events/230696694465999/ This is a new event for me, but I am looking forward to it!
