Now is probably a good time to update where I’m at nowadays, you can find me at these other places:

repeccas @ instagram

repeccas @ twitter

I’ll still be posting here every now and then but I’m much more active on these other platforms. see you on the flip side!

the deal with tumblr

hazeldrop:

as you all know, this site is being purged! I’m planning to keep this blog of course, there’s not a lot of nudity here but there is a bit of exposed skin… a couple posts from my blog have been flagged so i suggest going through and saving them if you love those pictures! 

I’m not sure if I will repost them somewhere else at this time, we will see when it comes to it.

in the meantime, reminder that you can always find me over on twitter, where I am a tiny bit more active than I am here:

raspberryhazel @ twitter

love you all!

Archive your fandom stuff

thebyrchentwigges:

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!
