GeoCities Rescue Project!

Just to say that I'm thrilled at arduinna's call for folks to list links to (and maybe stub? screencap? fill out? add to?) GeoCities pages. We could really use all the help we can get, here!! I'm wondering if maybe this can be the first fanlore challenge as suggested by ratcreature earlier today--maybe folks can take a look over there and see if there's a page they're invested in documenting/saving?

Examples: some fan pages that have been stubbed or preserved in Fanlore as part of GeoCities Rescue:

http://fanlore.org/wiki/Nic
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Alassenya
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Jonquil
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Sweet_Sorcery
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Unovis
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Silver_Chipmunk
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Rabidsamfan

Any help anybody wants to give here is greatly greatly appreciated! (And if you know the owner/moderator of a GeoCities fanfiction site, please tell them to contact me: we can give them a beta account for their fic!)

If it says that, it means they were given A03 beta accounts for their fic, and the "look and feel" of their site was stubbed. You're right, though--and you worry me, in a way--because the presumption is that the person themselves is responsible for uploading the fic themselves; I suppose if they don't DO it, its not so much "saved", sigh. But we haven't the resources to actually upload everyone's stories for them: horse to water, drink, etc.

Oh, I also wanted to ask - is it ok to say, like "documenting this page for OTW's geocities rescue", if one is not actually associated with otw?
