I have done a thing
Mar. 31st, 2016 06:15 pmThe topic of fic archives has been coming up on meme a lot lately, particularly in relation to how difficult it is to actually find the fic you want to find. Some people suggested browsing the bookmarks of authors they like, but that’s really no guarantee that you’ll find anything you want, either.
So, here’s the Collection Initiative. AO3 has collections, but they mostly seem to be used for exchanges and fests. If you’re a collection maintainer for one whose sole purpose is to just collect fic for a similar theme, I invite you to list your collection at the DW community, and spread the word for others to do so as well.
Hopefully, we can get the ball rolling, and bring back those fic archives and character-specific LJ comms of yore.
