I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. After watching what little profits I was making from my store fade into the nothingness, I’ve been considering shutting the store down and working locally as a hobbyist. But what to do with the web space?

My first thought was to recreate A Website Created by Babs (after the fight I went through with Tripod, did you think I was just going to give the domain up?), but most of what I wanted to keep from the original site has already taken form on LJ. I could move it all, but would it be worth it?

Then I thought about the Pinkish Pages. When I first created the archives my goal was to create a place where authors of various fandoms could share their works with the rest of the world, forever. Kind of like ff.net, only by “invitation only” so there could be some sort of crap filter. 🙂 Unfortunately, Tripod didn’t have the fancy features needed to create such a forum, and single-handedly adding them manually created a major backlog for me from which I never did get caught up. On DrakNet, though, I have access to a number of programs that I may be able to use to create such a place. But should I? Do we really need another fanfic archive? More importantly, would I be able to ask for and get enough donations to cover at least half of the running costs?

*sigh* I really don’t want to get rid of the space, but what else can I do with it?
