Things half-lived, half-thought, half-expressed.

Thank you for the ask.

I don't know. But it sure looks like http://ralst.com is dead.

The Wayback Machine's last capture of the landing page is from May 2026.

The last update was apparently in April 2023, announcing that that "Passion and Perfection is now closed to new submissions."

The last two reblogs on @ralst's tumblr were from December 2023 and December 2022.

The is a fanlore page, but it is relatively short.

I an sad that this site is gone. I have a lot of fond memories and am very grateful that ralst maintained the site for so long. It was one of my main fic sources before AO3.

I hope ralst is OK.

These were what we had before AO3, and I'll be forever grateful for all the time and work put into creating and maintaining them.

@pinkrabbitpro's tumblr was last active in January 2020. The is also a fanlore page.

That means that of the three multi fandom femslash sites that I used to use a lot before ff.net and AO3 only one remains active alive mid 2026:

https://realmoftheshadow.com/ (and: fanlore page)

As there is no year listed in the "new stories" page, I am not sure when this site was last updated, but I think it has been a while.

And sadly also a lot of the sites I mentioned in my Xena and Buffy femslash fic guides seem to be gone now. (I'll need to do some digging next week).

A big thank you to everyone who maintained these amazing websites that brought me so much joy!!!

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

am I a homosexual?
