#ralst

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.

The Narrative Strain by The Noble Arduenna (feels like everybody and they momma are rec'ing TNA but when ya good ya good lol)

The Love Club by OrkButch (Modern!AU Gelphie, based on the books so you may get a little lost if you haven't read the series)

Safe and Sound by GretchenMaurice (Hunger Games!AU if you're into that haha)

Even the Yellow Brick Road Can Double Back On Itself by Shatterpath (NC17 🥵 Musicalverse fic, good for those totally new to Wicked who don't want the second half of the musical/part 2 of the movie series to be spoiled)

people come and go so quickly here by threeguesses (honestly I don't remember reading this but I bookmarked it back in the day so I obviously wanted to read it lol)

Also, here's a link to Ralst's Wicked archive. She's an awesome fandom steward who really helped the femslash and WLW fandoms thrive in an era before modern social media (including Tumblr!).

Ralst's Wicked Archive (I personally recommend Harper's Something Most Odd (AO3 link) and lfae's At the Ozdust - Bookverse fic that acknowledges the musica!)

It started with @thenicecheese wanting to update her pic on AO3, which led us to talking about livejournal (because AO3 icons are 100x100. Remember that, kids??), which led me to logging onto my LJ account for the first time in NINE YEARS, which led me to checking the journals of the people I followed back then. (Dead. The journals, not the people. As far as I know.) Which led me to Passion & Perfection, or P&P to its regulars. There’s been a few tumblr posts going around lately about the good ol’ days of fan fiction and how it’s a whole new generation of readers who don’t even know what those days were like. So please, check out this blast from the past (though to be fair, she STILL updates!). At the time, 10 years ago, it was one of the few fan sites that collected femslash fic. (You couldn’t always trust ff.net to not remove your F/F fic without telling you.) Great site. Great memories!
