As you may have seen Russia is going to be cutting off access to the internet come this Friday, so I imagine that will mean no more LJ.

Try blogbooker.com - there is limited free access, and after that it's not hugely expensive. It saved my entire LJ, from August 2005 to now, as a pdf.

What is harder to do is save the archives of all those comms that used to run challenges and share fics.

I'm wondering if we should try to find some and copy fics we don't know are elsewhere.

Oh wow. Where to begin? sb_fag ends, good_evil, seasonal spuffy going back before it was also on DW? I'm not sure I have time to do much of that before it's too late.
