HEY it’s been a while since I last harped on about archiving this blog but bear with me:

I’ve got an enormous archive of significant threads and miscellany from MisbehavingMaiar that I’ve been meaning to migrate over to a less volatile platform than tumblr– somewhere less likely to change the…

meeedeee answered: I think the “ask if you wnat removed” or opt out method is agood way to go. It is the protocol that the Internet Archive and the Library of Congress use. Note: some fans might not agree that you have no right “reblog outside of tumblr.

That Wayback Machine seems like it’ll be the quickest and easiest way to backup of your stuff in case tumblr goes tits up. 🙂 

Thanks again, meeedeee

Silmarillion Writers’ Guild :: MisbehavingMaiar

Since I’ve noticed a few of you going through my old drabbles (which I’m super excited about, btw ❤ ❤ thank you), I thought I’d repost this link and let you know that most of the drabbles I’ve posted to tumblr are the rough, early drafts of fics that I’ve gone on to polish up, add to, and splice together. 

…I’m mentioning this mostly because I’m experiencing some retroactive Editor’s Shame at the idea that people are reading my rough drafts. XD
