Okay, back from work, marginally not braindead. I'll admit quite freely that the desire to preserve fanworks, particularly when it can it can practically be assumed that the creator never intended to take them down, is crowding out most if not all of my reservations. But, for what its worth, here are my reservations. Once the fic and art is preserved (because I have no issue with that whatsoever) what happens then? Is it reposted somewhere, because that is where I start to have doubts about whether or not this is as good idea. There are some fantastic Sirius/Hermione authors like satinvalkyrie and rosie_rd73 who haven't touched their journal since 2006 that I would hate to see gone, and if livejournal hadn't done some quick backpeddling when the shit hit the fan they would have been gone. They have changed their mind now, and have said that if the journal has content it won't be touched.

I'm so paranoid about all this that I ljarchived hermionesirius. I don't know how to share that kind of file though.

Anyway, so those are my thoughts. I'm not comfortable with reposting another persons work and I won't tell you not to, but I can't help you pimp either. I'm just not comfortable. I've had my work reposted without permission and it was really awful not to have control over something I had created.

If reposting wasn't the plan though I'd love to hear more and would be glad to lend whatever support I can.
