Archive?

What does everybody think about doing an archive of all the Wodefic posted and linked to here?

See, this site being more or less the nexus of all things J/W, you can be reasonably confident that if it exists, it'll be here somewhere, and there's a better-than-average chance of the same for Psmith and Blandings fic, too. But it's not all neatly catalogued in the memories, or anything, so a lot of the people who're new to the fandom get stuck slogging back through months and months of old posts. I know several people got together a while ago and gathered stuff over at indeedsir_posts, which has often been my savior when looking for something, but that was in (*checks*) May 2005, and one or two things have been posted since. ^_^ And every time someone complains about not being able to find any J/W slash, here of all places, my heart goes out to them.

Suggestions? Volunteers to help compile a new list?

Yes, exactly. There really should be someplace to go where you can just look down the list of names and find everything written by each author, with maybe just whatever summary they'd provided. (Fortunately I don't think this fandom is particularly given to the "Memory is a blue feather in a harsh wind. m/m NC-17 PLESAE R&R" school of summaries.) It'd help out no end with the whole "is this the story? No, wait, it's another one" thing.

And yeah, I think I'd kind of prefer to have it be volumnious rather than, er, discriminating, seeing that having people left out would have the potential to get wanky. And after all, tastes differ and it's easy enough for people to go through and pick their own favorites to rec.
