Unfortunately Christmas plans went a bit to hell. Glad we have savings to throw money at the problem!!

Note to self: taking the only ferry available when the later ones are getting cancelled due to weather is in fact not a good idea.

Had a nice day with my godparents at least. Would have liked to explore Vancouver today and check out my old neighbourhood, but the ferry situation is a grey cloud of anxiety.

A few of the more creative spellings of Christmas I’ve come across while looking for Dear Santa letters in old newspapers this year.

Archive your fandom stuff

As we sit on the cusp of changes to the Internet, after your other activities to support Internet freedom, archive your fandom stuff.

Save the electronic files of your favorite online fandom works. Consider print-outs of your favorite online material. And save paper ephemera from fandom events.

Why save? Because you put the effort into a fanwork. Because you may be surprised when a fandom stays alive for years, or gets revived, or when an academic asks to cite your work. Because it’s stupidly hard to find items on Tumblr. Because, lo, in ages past, many fandom archives have risen and fallen, taking favorite fics off the ‘Net. Because it made you happy, makes you remember. Because you never know.

What can you save?

Fanart

Stories you wrote

Epic comments on stories you wrote

Stories you love that other people wrote

Meta and meta-related discussions

Translations others did of your works

Physical items: paper ephemera, clothing, accessories, art prints and drawings.

Behind the cut…saving from Tumblr and AO3, delving into lost web sites, how to save computer files for the long term, and why I’m glad I saved physical fandom items from 10+ years ago.

Made some chocolate chocolate chip cookies last night for my upcoming flight to Vancouver Island. I'm going to gift them to my godmother who is having us over in Burnaby for christmas, provided the ferry doesn't have any weather issues that day.

"The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it."
