i just absolutely adore a good sunday fandom spelunk
#tho tbh looking at just how much we lose to digital decay and password protection... we need more archives for fan content#and not just limited to fiction or art but meta and old interviews etc#i've actually taken to archiving some of my tumblr posts and other ppl's tumblr posts that i link out to lest we lose that to blog deletion#or even just post deletion or changing a username. nvm outlinks to defunct orgs and sites#i'm trying to get a hold of an interview yockey gave after a year on spn and have reached out to the podcast host about it#thankfully they are planning to post an archive of the older episodes in the next few months but so much stuff is lost to things like this#where the org that originally hosted it folded/the site domain expired or they deleted their archive when updating the site#there's just so much that we're losing and will be forever lost bc it's not physical and there isn't anyone out there holding onto a copy#of an old zine in their attic. once it's gone it's gone.#it's all ephemera and in some ways more fragile than any recording tool that came before it
