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 confess I have only read Jean Val Jean (did you read that in school?) and seen the musical.

My first fandom was due South. I can't really remember how I got into fandom itself, just from catching reruns on tv and then accidentally stumbling across a fic archive. *waves cane*

I do remember reading an abridged version in school at one time, but it wasn't that one. I had to look it up on wikipedia and the story behind it is quite interesting! I'm into the musical as well.

The due South fandom had some great fic! I was pretty into it myself for a while.

I will check out the wiki.

I feel like everyone is required to be in the dS fandom ;) There are still new writers, it's lovely.

I was going to do a rec list to introduce new mutuals to old ones. Do you mind if I rec a fic of yours (on my dw)?

Yeah, I'm sure everyone spends some time in dS fandom at some point.

That would be lovely (and I'll look forward to your other recs) <3
