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:

Do you know if anything has been done with these ones yet? I noticed it was posted in April and Open Doors had it by July.

I'm listing all the links in the comments over here (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AtkQF_DFcuILdGswaXRqdkVfekNLdVNXc0o5YzFVSFE&hl=en) to keep track of what I'm doing, but I don't want to duplicate other efforts -- because man, that is a *long list*.

I don't think so! The archive can't save fic unless an author or authorIZED person requests it, alas, but anyone can screencap and save on fanlore, which is not nearly as good but...its better than nothing!!!
