A delightfully venerable site!
Squidgeworld is the latest incarnation of the Wonderful World of Makebelieve, which has been running since 1999 (1994 for the overall site). It’s where all the oldschool slashers used to post.
It’s an old-fashioned archive run by one dude, @squidgiepdx.
And by that, I don’t mean the coding is old but that it’s a site run by someone whose actual personal account you can find and interact with and that has a moderate audience of a size where individual site culture is still possible.
Though, actually, it looks like the whole site (which includes hosting for more than just this one archive) is now a nonprofit, so that’s nice for longevity.
I don’t crosspost because I am lazy, but I have fond memories of all the fic I’ve read there, and I appreciate that he’s still doing his thing in this era when lots of people abandon running a site themselves to cluster on ever fewer behemoths.
If you’re looking for maximum kudos from randos, AO3’s larger audience is what you want, but I think it could be excellent to take your buddies and all decamp to Squidgeworld together.
