Question on Good Blogging Platforms

[labingi]

So my essay from a few years ago on pregnancy in TV science fiction got cited on Wikipedia, but alas the website where it was published is defunct, so the Wikipedia link is now dead. I'd like to post the essay elsewhere so I can provide an updated Wikipedia reference, but I'm not sure where. I don't want it to just disappear in another few years when another domain expires.

Suggestions?

Should I post it on my personal Dreamwidth or LJ (listing it as a reissue of the original publication so it doesn't just look like someone's personal blog entry)?

Is there somewhere else I should shop it that's likely to remain in business or maintain a stable archive?

(It's not a formal critical essay with researched citations, aside from referencing specific shows' episodes--i.e. primary sources. It's more a fan meta essay in a sort of casual-academic tone. Probably about 2 printed pages.)

Interesting! Yes, I agree with you that there should be a separate section (or site?) for meta. I would not want wade through hundreds of meta hits if I'm looking for fic or hundreds of fic hits if I'm looking for meta.

The content issue is thorny. I also think it's probably least suspect to allow anything, but I do think a tiny squee is a little different from a tiny drabble: a drabble can be a specific art form. It's hard to image three lines of meta that are worthwhile to anyone, unless it's the most brilliant aphorism ever. Were I on the board, I might float the idea of a minimum length requirement, but I say that tentatively.
