PSA: Yahoo! Groups

On 16th October, it was revealed that Yahoo! is planning to shut off posting to Yahoo! Groups on 28th October, and permanently wipe all data from Groups on 14th December, in yet another instance of an internet space shutdown that will be hugely detrimental to fans and fan history. The Organization for Transformative Works is doing everything it can to try and preserve the fannish activity and works on Yahoo! Groups before the shutdown. If you are a member or admin of a Group and want to try and preserve its contents, here are some things you can do.

Contact the OTW’s Open Doors project, which works to import at-risk fan archives, if you’re the admin of a Yahoo! Group and want to import its fanworks to AO3. If you’re not the admin of a Yahoo! Group, you can still publish your own fanworks to AO3 - but the permission of a group admin is needed in order to import all the fanworks associated with a Group. Create a page for the Group on Fanlore. Anyone can edit Fanlore and it’s completely free - you just need to sign up for an account first. Once you have, you’ll need to wait four hours before you can create any new pages - this is a precaution against spam accounts. This tutorial will help you get started with editing, and this article will give you more information on how to start a new page.

mutuals if my tumblr ever gets deleted you can find me in my house from 6am to 7am and then moving south towards the ranch by 7:30. I will then be standing on the dock of the lake until 3pm. From 4pm to 6pm you can find me in the secret woods by the southwest pond. I then will be traveling east and then down to the beach where I will be from 8pm to 10pm, after which I will walk back to my house through town and past the bus station

Women use compact mirrors in packed crowd to catch sight of the queen in London, June 1966.

‘Life is very full of sex, or should be. As much as I admire Tolkien — and I do, he was a giant of fantasy and a giant of literature, and I think he wrote a great book that will be read for many years — you do have to wonder where all those Hobbits came from, since you can’t imagine Hobbits having sex, can you? Well, sex is an important part of who we are. It drives us, it motivates us, it makes us do sometimes very noble things and it makes us do sometimes incredibly stupid things. Leave it out, and you’ve got an incomplete world.’ George R R Martin (source)

no disrespect to george rr martin but this quote cracks me up bcos every time i see if I’m just like, no george… you can’t imagine hobbits having sex. ;P
