On Downloading Fic
May. 7th, 2020 10:29 amI never used to download fic — honestly, I'd hear about it, and wonder why people went to such great lengths when they could just bookmark it or add it to their favourites or something. Twelve years in fandom later, I have very much learned my lesson. orz
So I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to go about doing this? On cataloguing and stuff, I was thinking maybe making an excel spreadsheet to help with navigation and general safety-netting for my terrible memory, but I haven't gotten any further than that thought lol. Also, any recommendations on archiving from FFn.net and LJ? I'm browsing myself for any information I can find, but everything I've seen so far is from 2012 and I didn't know if any better methods have cropped up since then. Instapaper seems to be promising? I don't know.
I bought a very cute Ravage USB and I thought I could save it on there (as well as to the cloud). When I went to find it, though, I found it... and the detached tail. Seems my cats got to her before I did. I now have a very cute tailless 32GB Ravage.
Anyway, if you have any helpful links lying around, please do toss them my way. :3 I'd love to hear any stray thoughts on archiving fic in general, too. I haven't put much here because I don't really know what I have to add beyond 'websites crash, fics disappear, i have been burned but it has shown me the light' lol.
