1. Eh I broke the Archive of Our Own site again. But hey, I have managed to save the best of the Buffy Meta that I wrote from approximately 2002-2010, along with Dollhouse, Angel Meta, Doctor Who, and Torchwood.

I'm stacking up the fandoms.

It's really fun to archive meta over there - I highly recommend.

Have about 103 works saved to date.

Saved Buffy and the Pitfalls of Television as a work with chapters, which kind of works better than saving it as separate works. Could have done it as a series -- but it's really one work. The chapters make it possible to do footnotes. But I discovered I couldn't do footnotes in their little box for it -- because my footnotes exceeded the little box's character limit. Never go up against someone who went to law school regarding footnotes -- we hide stuff in the footnotes. Academics have nothing on lawyers when it comes to footnotes. Also I do footnotes for my job. (I hate footnotes by the way, but the new Word applications make them much easier to apply so no issues.

2. It's raining here or was. I stayed home. Watched bad television shows in the background while archiving, and spoke to two people on the phone. I'm ignoring the news and anything that gives me anxiety. Did edit a few of the essays I archived, formatting mostly, but I added stuff to some of them.

Again? You aren't gonna make the internet explode or anything, are you? That'd be right up there with, like, hyena possession.

I subscribed to your on AO3 to remember when I have time to read through and was getting a dozen of emails yesterday :))

But it's a great idea to archive meta there. I need to go dig up my own - hardly anyone reads LJ/DW of 15 years ago
