Question of the Day

[potentiality_26]

questionoftheday asks: What is your internet history? What websites were you a part of that might not be around anymore, and do you have any fond memories of them?

My answer: I had an FF.net account back in the stone age, got to livejournal long after its heyday was done, and now I'm figuring out where to head next!  The lost site for which I will always pine is the slash cotillion, dedicated to mostly M/M fics in a period setting.  I didn't post there, but i did read a lot and it disappeared over night.  Almost none of it was caught by the wayback machine, and I will forever be sad about all that lost fic.

I remember some old HP sites too, that was one of my first fandoms. It's nice that fandom is a bit more centralized than it was back then, but I actually sort of miss looking around after discovering a new fandom and feeling like a treasure hunter when I found a really good archive!

That gasp at the first glint of buried treasure, usually deep in the bowels of Geocities...

Yes, exactly :)
