Someone archived/collected over 100 sites/forums for HP Fanfic. This doesn't only include popular ones like AO3, FFN, HPFF, Mugglenet but very small pairing-centric and smaller communities like Checkmated, Gryffindor Tower, The Full Moony, The Restricted Section and so much more.
This is not only an extreme service to data preservation in regards to creative works, but for fandom history as a whole. Upon my post in the hpff subreddit, I had people backing up these files from the torrent & my hosted link to their own cloud service of choice, and people planning to do the above once their dl was finished. You have free reign to do the same, including taking my folder and uploading it to share. The only request is that you of course link back to the original archivist, and if you choose to change the file structure, disclaim how it has changed from the very original structure.
To help the apparent confusion: This comes as a torrent file unless you choose to look through the archive link by zips. This is a good way, but doesn't allow to see the file structure as the archivist created. So I downloaded almost 100 GB & uploaded it, file structure as is, besides a few changes which I will put below. You are now able to browse at will through the folders, which are sorted. This was done due to ease of access. You will need to use a program like winrar/7zip which is as simple as opening the zip through said program, which allows you to view it. This is also available on smartphone. To view the directories, you need to open the .csv files through excel which is just as simple as the above, and is also on smartphone.
The list of archived sites is long, so I won't be including it here. If you don't wanna look through the folders yourself at which zips are provided, send me a PM and I'll get back to you as quick as I can๐
Changes made from original archivist file structure:
"No longer updated" + "Assorted" folder: now mixed and called "Original Fan Sites- Misc- Assorted"
"Actively Updated" folder: now called "Last Updated 2023"
