How to Contribute

This section contains guides on how to contribute data to the archive. Please send data through an email attachment if possible; links to uploads on a filesharing website such as Mega or an archive website are also acceptable.

Individual Fanworks

For archiving individual fanworks, the easiest way is to use the Wayback Machine or archive.today. For both, highlight or right-click the url of the webpage you want to archive to copy, paste it into the box reading "Save Page Now" or "My url is alive and I want to archive its content", and click the save button. Give it a bit to finish, and then copy the link that results. I recommend pasting it into a text document, or bookmarking it in your browser of choice. You may have to save multiple pages, for example in the case of chaptered works; then the page links should lead to their archived counterparts. archive.today may be better at preserving site elements, such as JavaScript and image embeds. For videos, follow one of the methods in these tutorials (computer strongly recommended):

Fanpages

Twitter & Tumblr: This method only works on Windows (host or virtual machine), and is best used with a Twitter or Tumblr account you have. Feel free to create a new account if you're worried about being blocked. Make sure you have storage space on your computer!

  • Download TumblThreeApp (check to see if your system uses x64 or x86 architecture), and extract the .zip file and run the application by double clicking TumblThree.exe.
  • Copy the url of the blog to be downloaded and paste it in the "Enter URL" box. Make sure it follows the format of [blogname].tumblr.com or twitter.com/[blogname]. Click "Add Blog." The blog name should appear in a list above where you entered it.
  • Scroll to the right until you reach the "Settings" button. Left click it, click the "Connections" tab in the dialog box, and click "Authenticate", then log in to your Tumblr or Twitter account in the browser pop-up. Close the browser pop-up and hit the Save button in the settings dialog box.
  • Left click the blogname list entry to select it, then right-click and select "Enqueue selected". It should show up in the queue tab, and start reading the blog data. If it hasn't, click scroll to the right using the bottom scroll bar until you find the "Download" button, and click that to start the process.
  • Click the "Details" tab. Make sure that "Download images", "Download videos", and "Download texts" are all checked. Scroll down, and make sure that "Download reblogs", "Download replies", and "Download video thumbnails" are all checked. If one of these isn't checked, click the white box next to it to check it. (These names may be cut off, so use your judgement.)
  • If you get a "Blog is offline" error, try again in a few minutes. As long as the blog is queued, it should eventually come online and start working.
  • Wait for it to finish downloading! It may take a while, depending on your processing power and the number of files necessary to be downloaded.
  • To upload it to a file sharing website, click the folder icon on your task bar to go into File Explorer. Go to Downloads > TumblThree[application version] (the file folder) > Blogs, select the folder with the blog name you want to upload, and follow the file sharing site's instructions to upload it as a folder. Again, this may take a while! Then, go back to your Blogs folder, go to Index, and select the .tumblr or .twitter files with the blog name, click and drag to select both, and follow the file sharing site's instructions to upload those as files. You may want to create a superfolder to hold both the blog file folder, and the blog display files.

Alternatively, the Wayback Machine can save up to 3,200 Tweets on a page. This method does not require you to have storage space on your computer, but may limit you from making multiple concurrent page captures. It also can't archive private accounts.

  • Go to here
  • In another tab, open the twitter page of the account you want to archive. Click "with replies."
  • Copy the url (should end with with_replies) and go back to the Wayback Machine page. Paste it into the "Save Page Now" box. Click "SAVE PAGE".
  • On the new page, uncheck "Save Error Pages."
  • Click "SAVE PAGE" and it will automatically save a snapshot of the web page.
