Don't worry. I'll still create Storm threads from time to time because everyday is Storm Day. lol

The Old Homeless X-Men Fan Fiction Archive (OHXFFA for short ) is my pet project/bane of excitence - basically its a database/legacy archive that saves and houses x-fan fiction (and older x-fan sites) that used to be archived on independent sites. With the popularity FF.net, and after the 90s fic boom, many of these sites went down and we lost (or assumed we had lost) a large part of X-history - fan fiction reflects the views and trends within a fanbase and the X-writers were at the center point of the 'fic revolution'. Hell, one of those CFan fic writers, became a X comic writer.

I've saved a lot of stuff over the years, which has basically become the backbone of the project housed on two hard drives. As I find 'new' lost fics or sites they get added. Fonts of Wisdom was a massive archive which was still online until a few months back. It's now offline and like many sites only accessible through the Wayback Machine - it had over 200 fics, many with multiple chapters. In order to add those to the archive/database each has to be read, re-rated, summarised, check to make sure it's homeless and the writer contacted for permission and contact details updated.

Keeping in mind I still have the whole of my own, the Lori MacDonald, Southern Comfort, Shifting Sands, the main Generation X and part of the Wolverine and Jubilee.com archives to catalogue (just to account for the big sites) - the OHXFFA will finally open when I'm in my late 50's...

I'm gonna need help reading - the sites html is all done, but I can only read so much between work and life. I've had days of hours of forced fic reading with characters I hate - it's soul numbing, but my silly way of giving back to a community I grew up with for 18 years.

(Sorry for the text wall of doom everyone)

Wow that sounds like an insane task.

That's pretty cool that you've gone out of your way to save all that work. I'm not into that kind of stuff but it's awesome and I do appreciate the effort in doing something like this. I hope it pays off in some way.

Well she is the second longest tenured field leader. The cychos need a little competition here.

hehe My inner angsty 13 year old pops out

Indeed!

They really should have some "on hold music" running to make the searching experience more pleasant.

Is it wrong to enjoy rage game videos? Just sitting there soaking up another person's misery.

Nope, it's the right of every nerd to rejoice in our shared despair.;-)
