Is it just me or is there really only a short number of fanfics, which are not published on LJ. When I stumbled my way into fandom, there were archives everywhere (maybe that was because of the Harry Potter boom). Well, at least different independent author's homepages existed. In these olden days, if I may be allowed to call them that, fanfic recs led me to archives. These days recs lead me to LJ and LJ again and some more LJ. It's not only that all fics are published there, also the recs are published there.

In a touch of melancholy I want back the old times and I don't know why, because it's not even a bad thing for author's to be able to publish their fanfics easily in their journals. :( Maybe I feel like in archives these fics would be so much safer and easier to find. Something bothers me!

I have to think about this some more ...
