The new archive site can be found at: brookeloganfanficarchive.yuku.com/
This new board is an attempt to recreate the original Proboards B&B Fan Fiction archive, which itself was originally a combination of stories from the old Geocities site and the Probards Fan Fiction site. The Geocities site was lost when Yahoo decided to scrap Geocities and the Proboards Fan Fiction site was lost when Proboards decided to delete the forum because of the "adult" nature of the content, many years after the site had been up and running.
After the main fan fiction site was deleted with only a few days warning, the Yuku board was set up and all the stories from the Proboards archive site were copied across as we thought it was only a matter of time before Proboards discovered the site and deleted it in the same way as the main Fan Fiction site had been deleted.
Unfortunately, once the archive section of the Yuku board was set up, there was a technical glitch and the stories all disappeared. In addition, the board owner Kay became ill and has not had the time to try and correct the technical glitch.
Luckily one of the posters at the new board recently found a web archive version of the original Geocities site, so I decided to set up this site and recopy the stories across, plus re-post some of the stories I still had on my hard drive from the last round of copying.
Unfortunately, because the original Proboards Fan Fiction site was deleted completely and the Proboards Fan Fiction Archive site was cleared as the stories were copied across, some of the newer stories (eg Missy's 'Faces of Forrester' & 'Forbidden', Dot D's 'Best Day Ever') and newer chapters of the older stories (eg Missy's 'Love Story') were lost. At this point in time, there seems to be no way of recovering them
There also seem to be quite a few gaps and missing chapters at the web archive site:
web.archive.org/web/20070127215222/http://www.geocities.com/brookefanfic/
And I don't know about you, but I find the other web archive screens to be so dark I can barely read them, let alone copy content from them:
www.reocities.com/bbfanfic/index.html
A huge thanks to Sylvana for passing on these links!!!
There are still some gaps in this new board - notably Missy's stories - but I'm not feeling up to the task of trying to rescue what remains of the stories at the moment, especially knowing that there were later chapters and newer stories that will be missing.
Note: Except for the General forum and Various Authors/External Links forums, there is no write access for members at the new board as none of the stories have been updated since around 2006/2007 and most of the writers have left B&B fandom or stopped writing, so leaving comments on the stories would be a pointless exercise.
The newer fan fiction board will still operate as usual at:
brookeloganfanfiction.yuku.com/directory
Best wishes,
Jill
