Backing up to AO3

[afterandalasia]

 Hi, folks!

Alas, many of the kink memes of old have passed into obscurity, and even this one has grown quiet. While I will not be CLOSING the kink meme at this time, I will be reaching out to Open Doors at the Organization for Transformative Works to get it backed up to Archive of Our Own [AO3].

While I am not part of the Open Doors team, I have worked with them before on other archives and have a rough idea of the process.

• An account will be made called something like disney_kink_archivist ("archivist" will need to be in the name)
• Anonymous works will be posted to this account
• Pseudonyms will be made on this account for non-anonymous works
• Anyone who already has an AO3 account will be able to claim works if they want to

As far as I'm aware, Open Doors may not have worked on a prompt meme specifically before, but AO3 does have prompt meme capacity and I'll be asking if we can look into this as an option so that the rest of the wonderful prompts are not lost.

Thank you all for being such a wonderful community for so many years.

I read Disney Kink for years on livejournal and always enjoyed reading the prompts and stories that resulted from them. There were so many unique ideas and takes on characters from the same film, I immediately fell in love. Imagine my surprise while browsing AO3 that I saw a fic from a user handle from years ago, AfterAndalasia. I confess, I only remember your username from the site because your stories were always my favorites, to the point that when I saw prompts that at first didn't interest me but I saw you had filled them, I immediately read the story. After seeing you posting on AO3 I ventured back to Livejournal only to find it had moved here and now that you are backing up the stories on AO3. I just wanted to say, thank you. I only read on livejournal and never commented or prompted, but I read hundreds of stories that people wrote, many of which were yours. You are a fantastic writer, your descriptions were so vivid, and you always had a wonderful way of weaving together smut and character's personalities and motivations into a great story. Thank you for sharing your stories back then AfterAndalasia and thank you for trying to save so many other stories now. This was a wonderful community and I'm happy to see that it will continue to live on with AO3. I hope to continue reading your old stories, and new ones if the muse strikes you, on AO3 AfterAndalasia. Thank you again.

I'm glad that the community won't be closing, just moving!
