Riposte

On my list to do later today:
[ list completed; next step is by-hand spot-checking the mirrors ]

Archives I'm too late to save:
HeadQuarters

I'll snag Of Demons & Destiny when it reappears, which it should do soon. I already have the BuffyGiles archive ( Read more... )

I emailed Dusty of ODD about possibly sharing bandwidth on buffygiles.net, but haven't heard back from her yet. If I do, I'll send her your way.

Plus, I can shoot you the old Buffy Giles Writer's Muse challenge archive The Carrot Patch if you want it.

Giles finds cross-referencing relaxing. Lunatic man!

In my experience, the best way to fight zombies is knowing which plants to plant where.

I thought that HeadQuarters link was dead.

Yeah, it is. There's an index and nothing behind it. Too late on that one. FUCK.

ETA: I like repeating peashooters behind flaming tree trunks, later upgraded to Gatling peashooters. A hail of fiery death falling on the zombies!

Thank you for all your work for fandom! Reformatting it all, eh? Would it then be possible to put all the stories up in one place, a central fandom archive? That would be awesome. My computer skills are limited, but let me know if I can help.

Reformatting is a large task, though one that is well-suited to automation. If the archivist was a sensible and nitpicky person, which isn't always true. My first plan is to keep regular backups, then, if an archive vanishes, to mirror it unchanged.

Then maybe if I'm ambitious, I'll get things into a uniform format for consolidation.
