Even if I did have to do a panel about how to find fanfic that consisted of "well, here's AO3 tips, but AO3's kind of a mess right now... Pinboard's theoretically great but it's kind of abandonware... Reddit has some good ficfinder resources -- oh oops never mind... Here's how to find and download stuff on Fanfiction.net, if you can get the site to load... Twitt-- --I guess we can always hope Google stays moderately functional for at least a few more months......?"
GOD, SERIOUSLY
It's flashing me back to the bad old days of the nineties with Usenet and Geocities where I printed out copies of articles and emails and stories that I wanted. Because the internet seemed so ephemeral. (Where are those printouts now? God knows....) I am not enjoying having that feeling again! Especially since the one time we saved up and got one of those 2TB external hard drives (lots of people have this brand, highly recommended, blah blah) it bit the dust after a lot of stuff had been loaded onto it. :-/
