making a website is easy, you can do it

honestly every time i sit down for two weeks and crank out a website i wind up at the end of it standing up and looking around and wondering why nobody else is doing this kind of stuff

gotta buy more albums and also some cases so i can burn some c·d¦s of things i bought on bandcamp

unpacked my c·d collection and i¦m sorry to say my parents still have way more than me

how to turn this into an iTunes streaming your entire music library

1. add a streamurl to every track metadata record which points to an audio file for the track
2. program in some kind of playlist/ track queueing system
3. profit
4. get your site DCMAd and shut down

it is live: https://tunes.ladys.computer/

@gaditb sometimes in Unicode they will propose a character with a justification like “does this character see active contemporary use? well, it sees use in historical documents, and historical documents are in active use by contemporary historians.”

i want to channel a similar energy about “what fans want out of a fan archive”. do fan archives need to support research? yes, because some fans are researchers, and researchers need support for research in their archives. do fan archives need to support librarianship? yes, because some fans are librarians, and librarians need support for librarianship in their archives. and you may counter this by saying that not every archive needs to be everything for every person, but you do have to recognize that this is an anti‐academic sentiment when the “thing” you are refusing to support are academic approaches to information management

we have agreed as a society that most books which are published should have catalog records and show up in WorldCat (not an endorsement) and (in the United States) be entered into the Library of Congress and be assigned subject headings and indeed have the Library of Congress record be printed on the copyright page for easy reference in many cases. this is not because average readers care too much about these things, but because taking these steps with every book improves and increases the information resources and literacy of our society.

if you don’t think fanworks should be treated similarly, then you think that fanworks are lesser or different somehow than books. some fans may feel this way, but that is certainly not a universal opinion. for the fans who do think that fanworks can be books, there is not the technical infrastructure to support that treatment.

so while i am listing “librarianship” and “what fans want out of a fan archive” as separate things, because you can understand one without the other, it is with the understanding that fan behaviour is multifaceted and includes librarianship within it
