Geocities Rescue Project

Slightly off-topic, but I know there are fans reading this, so:

When I was a semi-wee fan, Geocities was where the action was, so here's an announcement: Do you or anyone you know have fic or other fandom resources on Geocities? Geocities is shutting down in October, and the OTW/Archive of Our Own has created a Geocities Rescue Project to save our stories.

The short version: if your fanfiction page is on GeoCities, which is going down for good on October 26, they'll give you an AO3 account (beta!); if you have other kinds of fannish pages there, they'll help you document those pages in Fanlore. Contact the Geocities Rescue Project! And pass on the news if you know people who might be interested.
