smallwebSomehow it's September already and the kick-off point for Small Web September has arrived! \o/
As a reminder, this is the first of five ‘check-in’/comment points that will be published during the event – you can check out the schedule and dates of these posts over on the event intro. There’s no cut-off point for commenting on these, so you can add something at any time – you also don’t need to comment on them all or do them in order! The themes are a loose guide, but all discussion is welcome.
This first post will be for introducing yourself and your project(s) and talking about what you’re planning to do during the month. Of course, there’s no obligation to stick to what you’ve set down and no-one will be checking up xD But it can be a nice thought exercise! You’re free to make the goal(s) as broad or as specific as you like – it’s totally up to you.
There’s no set format for this check-in, but here’s one you can use if you’d like (just copy-paste and replace the placeholders with your own answers in the comments):
Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

<strong>Name:</strong> (Username, nickname, whatever you like to go by)
<strong>Project(s):</strong> (Share a link to your project(s) if you’d like to, and/or describe what you’re making or would like to make!)
<strong>What are you hoping to work on for SWS?</strong> (This can be as general as “add to my site”, or as specific as “archive X fanworks” or “implement a responsive layout”. You could even include ‘bonus goals’ – more ambitious things you’d like to get to if you have time!)Also, if anyone would like to answer it, here’s a discussion starter: What interests you about the small/indie web, and how did you learn about or get into it?

Date: 2024-09-01 11:32 am (UTC)That is such a fantastic idea! I would love something like that for my old fandoms; heck, I would really enjoy making something like that for my old fandoms, although I'm not 100% sure how I would go about finding things to link to. Do you have methods that you use to track down old sites and communities?
Wait, for real??? Damn, and I thought I got on the computer early. (I had one from a young age too, but that was in the 90s and we didn't get internet until the early 00s). I guess that's one way to have the 00s web experience even if you were born later XD Very cool!
Ha, this is also what I'm doing with my oldest fics from 2005 onwards, which I never wanted to cross-post to AO3 xD But having them sort of placed in the context of my fandom history feels okay? Also, it's a good thing that I *didn't* have the internet around the time of my very earliest fics (I was writing them before I knew what they were) or I would have even cringier material xD
100% this ^
