hc_bingo I was lucky enough to have a first hand view as this community was first dreamt up and then created. ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
eglantiere is not only an excellent person but an excellent mod, too. Sadly, despite taking part in many bingos I've yet to win, even a line. However, I have faith that this year may be my year. So yes, an excellent comm I enjoy a lot.
A03. It's hard to believe that the archive didn't exist when I first got into fandom. It's a place that's brought me hours of enjoyment, and it's not often I can't find the exact thing I need to scratch a fic itch.
no_tags this is such a brilliant challenge. I've taken part often, and watched as it changed mod hands a few times, but each new person has overseen another crop of excellent stories. What people can write in a week amazes me.
picfor1000 yes old friends, you're going to hear the story yet again. Back in the day picfor1000 was where I posted my first ever bandom story. Well, the first official one anyway. It's a challenge where you get a picture prompt and then have to write a story of exactly 1000 words in response. I'd done a few popslash responses in previous years, but that year I wrote something waybros centric. And every year since then I've done the same. Except last year when I flaked on the challenge for the first time ever. But yes, it's multi fannish and such a cool thing to attempt.
And finally, a nod to popslash and Make the Yuletide Gay. Sadly the exchange ended last year but had an amazing run from 2001 to 2017, changing hands once in that time.nospeud and pensnest were fantastic mods, and while the exchange is now over the site has hundreds of popslash stories there to be enjoyed.

Yeah, AO3 was really something that NEEDED to be created!
And speaking of AO3's importance - I would love if both SeSa and MtYG got imported to AO3. I particularly worry that the old SeSa archive will just disappear one day.

I was emailing Kimberly about it and telling her that I really thought I was done writing wise when I failed mini nano because I just couldn't get into writing the story. But it turns out it was the wrong story, and I just needed a push with something I wanted to write.
I love A03 but do worry that if it ever goes down a load of fic will be lost. I know I have my stuff backed up in gdocs where they're written but I don't post anywhere else but A03 now. I keep meaning to change that, even if it's just posting private here. A job for the future I think.

Oh man, that would be terrible.

Oh,yeah. Awesome. There's that extra boost of paranoia I needed today.
Gaaah.
