Archive History
The Superman Movieverse FanFiction Archive History
In 2008, metropolisfic.com, the archive for Superman Movieverse fanfiction went dark. In August of 2008, fanlib.com, another fanfiction site with a Superman fiction section also went dark, leaving only fanfiction.net, a few single-author fanfiction collections, and sites such as LiveJournal on the Internet hosting Superman Movieverse fanfiction in an easily readable form.
The Big Apricot (Metropolis) site went online on August 8, 2008, followed by the Big Apricot Forum on August 14, and finally, the Big Apricot Fanfiction Archive on August 20, 2008.
