Yep. If I lean a little to the left, I can see the bookcase of "in case of end of the world, jumpstart civilization" titles. I even wrote up a version in "The Seeds of Civilization" if anyone else wants to gather such a collection.

Hubsites are great while they last, because they can amass a ton of content. The problem is that they don't last. They shut down, or get bought by assholes and die of enshittification, or lock everything to members only. Every time that happens, tons of stuff gets lost to general visibility or altogether. With individual websites, they come and go, but at least we're not losing content en masse. So I'm trying to pay more attention to those in hopes of encouraging them.

It can be an independent website for one fandom, like this:

It can also be an individual author site, like this:
