posting, sharing, and saving fic outside of Ao3: https://satsuma.dreamwidth.org/26683.html
whelp i already forgot at least on comm, guess that’s what comments are for
also if anyone has suggestions for an organizational tagname for these kinds of links i’d love to start using one to share any independent archives / rec communities / etc i stumble across
(something positive, rather than just #NotAo3 — even if past precedent tells me we will all have to spend all our time talking about why we’re not including Ao3 regardless lol)
Lady, EVOLVED 
@Satsuma OwnYourOwnFandom
@Lady good for self hosting but i’m not sure it applies to a dreamwidth community or a larger single fandom archive
@Satsuma idk i think community ownership counts; when people say “queers need ownership of their social spaces” they don’t mean that a person needs to literally be the owner of every space they exist in
but it needs to be owned by someone within the community, not people outside the community, imo
idk i’m probably being more pointed and indie that you are really intending
@Lady i will currently take ‘not Ao3 or commercial’ which is a bit broader than that, yeah
like we’re just going for a basic ‘link diversity is good’ precept
@Satsuma right but *librarian voice* a link you don’t control is a link which doesn’t yet know it is dead
@Lady entropy is a part of life
@Satsuma i guess my point is that the time to teach people good digital repository practices is before they establish a digital repository, not after
@Lady babe the post is like 85% rec communities which have never been intended to be digital repositories
@Lady hence the no Ao3 or commercial sites bit, so far the rest of my neighbors have been fine or i don’t even know who they are
i’m not saying people shouldn’t think about where they put their stuff, but right now i dont think anyone even knows what the options are so i’d rather have a full list first and then filter
