They don't know a lot of things. One of my friends was astonished that there were Harry Potter fansites. She had no idea; she thought it was all on LJ. When I was in HP fandom, LJ was this weird secretish place and the fansites were the ones everyone really knew about.

NAYRT

Same. I found LJ (and FFnet) from fansites, not the other way around.

YEP. AND OOOOH. OMG. I JUST REMEMBERED.

The main Harry Potter sites like mugglenet would have a listing of EVERY FAN SITE in fandom. And they'd be ranked. And the fansites would have their members activity go and upvote their site every day because the higher up on the list you got, the more people would see you/potentially join. And so on and so forth.

I'd completely forgotten.

Wow, if I knew MN ranked sites I completely forgot! They probably didn't rank some of the ones I went to though, I went to FictionAlley and I don't think that was considered "family friendly." (TBH it always felt like even as far as fansites went, Mugglenet was almost its own fandom.)

Hot damn, that takes me way back. On a similar note, does anybody remember the Anime Web Turnpike?

[ketita]

I REMEMBER THAT
I used to go into linked sites for hours, omg.

[iceyred]

I lived on the Weiss Kreuz section of the site back in the day. I was legit sad when I heard it closed.

[ketita]

I love WK. I can't even say I love it ironically. It was a great fandom.
I remember going on those WK sites that collected pages and pages of the official artwork, and that stuff was the most ridiculous and cracky collection of pics I have ever seen. It used to make me cry with laughter.
I still have a WK poster on my wall. Maybe I will yet cosplay Aya one of these days.

[iceyred]

Oh, that was my gateway series to fandom. It was addicting and the fans were great. I had an art book with a bunch of official art and I closet-cosplayed as Schuldig and made out with every Brad Crawford and Aya I could find. Ahhh, those were the days. I should do it again some day, for old times sake.

When BtVS and Angel were going, I was all over those fansites. There were multitudes of them and they had like, rings of affiliated sites dedicated to whatever ship/character/etc. I miss actual websites like that, but social media platforms like LJ and Tumblr do make it easier.
