Past Blast

[bluecherrybomb]

Well, I decided to dick around on the Internet today instead of reading or do anything productive. I re-read old articles, went on TV Tropes, and was amusing myself when a thought occurred to me. So, if Livejournal ever goes down... where will my fanfics go? I actually thought about this, not going to lie. I'm thinking of maybe doing what I did

That's interesting you mention Livejournal's possible extinction. I remember reading an article back in 2010/11 that listed the top 10 social media outlets that went from great to irrelevant, and Livejournal was one of them. Then I got an email from LJ one day about inactive accounts getting purged, and just because I'm a sucker for nostalgia, I logged in once just so that my account wouldn't get purged lol. Hopefully Livejournal won't go away, but you're right; where will all the stuff go if the website you've devoted it all to disappears one day? Maybe you could upload it all to Dropbox or Google Drive; then you'll have a piece of mind but also not expose your fanfics too much

Livejournal used to be so big... but I think it's huge extinction is coming from everyone bailing and running to tumblr. Before, it never really had such big competition but our society seems to be moving to a reactionary one instead of one that will document its feelings over time. It's so strange. But yes, I do suppose dropbox... hm..

AO3 had. But you are right, it's mostly fetish stuff (so much). I wouldn't recommend joining because you don't get anything out of joining that you don't get as anonymous. Yeah, you can put fics up but everyone is more concerned to have porn, not real reading. (And I did upload all my persona fics. Look up Dojima/Souji and 'A Collection of Persona Fics' is mine.)

Awww, thank you for the birthday wishes! And yes, I like this better. Black doesn't blind me in the night, ha ha
