1. Um, I'm afraid not.

2. Go to website *g*
File
Save As (and select which option you want - you get a choice) and save it into a nice folder on your computer.

3. It would be an option, yes. Why not? A number of people have fiction journals.

Link should now work.

I am going to go through the dS sites I know and save them.

While sad, I think the link under the one you gave us is much more devastating :]

That is really disturbing that is.

Damn you legal things.

I don't know if it is a hoax or not, but apparently dreamhost is offering 2 years of free hosting to the first 1000 Geocities users to sign-up. It doesn't look like there are any obvious catches, and hey - by the time 2 years is up, HOPEFULLY An Archive of Our Own will be off and running, so you won't have to do this ever again! :o)

[aingeal8c]

That doesn't look too bad. I don't know what Dreamhost is like but...

And one day I shall archive all my fic to Exwood/squidge. When I have a month free.
