the zine site is moving to WordPress

[julesjones]

Or at least being copied over and then not being updated at Google. This may not be its final home, but at least WordPress is open source and has tools to export a site easily, and I am a great deal the wiser and much less irritated after an hour of poking at WordPress than I was after an hour of of poking at Google Sites.

Because the site hasn't been updated for so long, some of the external links are out of date -- in particular, I know that Hafren's fics were linked to on GeoCities, and I'm fairly sure the Pink Asteroids links need to be updated. Do not panic if you find broken links. :-) But yes, let me know, in case I miss one or can't find where the item has moved to.

If anyone *doesn't* want material from Tales 3 to 10 and Dead Boyfriend of the Week up, speak now. It's going to take a long time, but eventually I do want to get most of it up, since they're now all out of print in dead tree format save for a few last copies Watervole may still have lying around.

A lot of the geocities pages, but by no means all, are archived at reocities. Just change the g to an r and see if it's there. I have some other sources of efforts to save it all, but they are far less organised and a pain to try to find anything.

Thanks, that could come in handy. I've got the address of the new site for the one I need for the test zine, but if I get around to one of the very old zines I may need links for people who've long since gafiated and never moved their geocities site.

My Google site is at http://sites.google.com/site/gloomypatch/ but I can't vouch for it not having been buggered up in transition; Google Sites be a closed book to me, arr maty. So I haven't updated it nor will do, though since I also haven't written much since the move, that don't really matter. I put everything on A03 these days - http://archiveofourown.org/users/hafren - and that is up to date.

I found the Gloomy Patch and linked to that to start with, but am happy to change it to AO3.

I should probably look at AO3 myself, not least because WordPress has a "no porn" clause in its T&C and I'm not sure what they define as porn. I think hosting the editorial material there shouldn't be a problem, but it might be as well to put the actual stories elsewhere.
