fandom history, man. fandom history. i have similar tattered notebooks and floppy disks that still have pages and pages of old fic on them.

saathi1013:

YESSS.  Remember when fic was measured in ks, but it meant kilobytes and not ‘a thousand words’?  And how you had to keep a close eye on your floppy disk volume to optimize storage space?  And ASCII art in headers?  and huge disclaimers? 

and WEBRINGS?  Webrings still fuck me up, man.  I feel like that’s what some of these tumblr ‘networks’ might be trying to replicate, but I can’t tell.

…I think I have zip disks somewhere, now that I think about it, holy shit.
