Wow, the AOL post sure took me on a trip down the memory lane. I mean, I didn't have an account there because, lol, not USian, but the ethos was nearly the same for much of the early internet profiles. keeping fake names, writing your location is Lavender Town (mine still is Twin Peaks in so many places!), blabbering about our hobbies. Great post, love your site! :3

The page about the 90s being bad too is pushing me to finish the draft I have about an anecdotal experience I have with the president 25 years ago. It's crazy to be there for a part of history like that.

The Satanic Panics of the 1980s and 1990s left plenty of ruins for me to explore online in the 2000s, discovering a strange worldview where temptation lurks everywhere, and every story must be a cautionary tale. Much bigger than just that wizard kid book... https://fabled.day/before/devils.html

This one references an online Christian novella about how fantasy fiction (and more!) is evil. It's from the 2000s, but Wayback Machine preserved it exactly like I remember.

New section up, collating all the rants and flames in particular, and giving a chance to nudge me into writing more... https://fabled.day/now/flames

Y2K brought weird questions. Were there prophecies in airport paperbacks? And who the hell was Nicolae Carpathia? Weird stuff ahead: https://fabled.day/before/rapture.html

I promise my site itself that I'll have the flames section up by tomorrow so that I can add a link to this article in it. This one surely belongs there! Yikes!

Can't bring myself to watch the movies. I've heard they're even weirder than the books!
