Archive?

[innocentsmith.livejournal.com]

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?

I do wish we could set up memories, as that'd be far and away the easiest way of handling it. Unfortunately the maintainer seems to have done a runner ages ago, so we'd probably have to petition LJ to do that.

Building a whole nother archive site, though, seems like it'd be more of a hassle than anything useful, as (just to begin with) we'd then have to get in touch with all the authors contained to ask for permission to reprint. Which...I'm sorry, I'm just nowhere near that ambitious.

The first thing is really just to go through the posts here month by month and compile all the fics from each, I think.
