Geocities Rescue links

[arduinna]

It's starting to get down to the wire on rescuing Geocities pages -- I think the purge has already started, given some pages I suddenly can't find -- and there's a staggering amount that hasn't been done yet.

So I thought maybe it would be good to have a post where people could at least leave links to Geocities pages, maybe with a very short description of what they are, so wiki editors would have a starting place. (Links to screencaps of existing pages would also be awesome, so those could be uploaded to Fanlore later, but that would be icing.)

That way, even if not everything gets done, we have a chance of being able to find these pages on the Wayback Machine later -- once we lose the links, we've lost our chance.

I'm already starting to see this:

I went through my entire delicious looking for geocities links. Plus, remember when people used to put up a "links" page on their webpage? Yeah, I have no idea who most of these people are. Or why they object so strongly to putting an email address somewhere easily locatable. Good times.

Damn it, none of the links came out. I thought they did that automatically! They do *not*.

[wendelah1]

I think if you validate an open id, and post with it, your links will come out fine. Or, I can give you a code and you can just create a free account here for commenting purposes.

Justin Glasser's fic is all at Gossamer, except for a fic called "Kevin." I am assuming someone has it saved or archived somewhere else but if I can't find it, I'll save it myself. Two of his sister's stories are missing from Gossamer, too. The email address is dead, naturally.

[idella]

He has a current site with a current e-mail address. I have the link somewhere. Anyway, there's a note on his site saying that he hopes to eventually archive his XF stuff. I did e-mail him, but I haven't received a response.

[wendelah1]

So he has another website but doesn't have any of his XF fic on it? And he never bothered to put his new email address on his old site. Why am I not surprised? Maybe we should just ask him to put the missing fics at Gossamer and be done with it.

Don't mind me. I'm just going out of my mind, is all. There are already so many things disappearing; for a compulsive packrat-type like me, it is very crazy-making.

[idella]

So he has another website but doesn't have any of his XF fic on it?

Got it in one.

Maybe we should just ask him to put the missing fics at Gossamer and be done with it.

Yeah, I tried that. Nothing.

(I dug up the link; it's here if anyone needs it.)

[wendelah1]

I wonder if we submitted the fic to Gossamer ourselves if anyone would notice. Or care. Do you think I could impersonate him? Maybe I could create an new alternate identity?

Just kidding.

Kind of.

Oh. Like everyone else in the universe, he is on Live Journal. Everyone from XF fandom (except for a handful of people) is, and we just keep finding them. How did you run into this guy? Friend of a friend of a friend?

I'm not lost!

[perpet-fic.livejournal.com]

This is Perpetual Motion. Firstly, thanks for trying to save my site. Secondly, I managed to get everything off it that wasn't on the new (soon to be old) site right before geocities shut down. I'm currently moving all my works here:

perpetfic.summer-sparrow.net

And about 99% of all my stuff is currently here:

perpetfic.googlepages.com

I'm moving off googlepages because they're getting ready to switch to googlesites, and I hate googlesites.

All I lost were a few story summaries, luckily. I'm hoping everyone else was as lucky as well.
