Archiving Fandom Stuff Analog Style

So, because of i found my mom's secret fanfiction stash by [youtube.com profile] ColeyDoesThings has made me wanna archive my own fandom stuff analog style (maybe even the fics & art I find beautiful). I'm currently not in a possition to do this project because of lack of cash, sadly. But I'm not sure how to go about it, so I thought of asking here if people had done similar things?

Here are some ideas of my own for now:
  • Printing my fics at my shared housing, and printing my art by my parents' house because they can print in colour.

  • Same for others' fanfics & fanart, but seperate them into a diffrent folder.

  • This might give me the excuse needed to make collages &/or mini-shires? IDK


One of the things I'm not sure how to handle is how to organize the future folders. I thought of doing it by fandom, but my fandoms can change rapitly. And I also thought of doing specific challenges like minifemslashfebs in their own categories (since I'm not doing them on time anyway). The reason I wanna do this besides "I can" is that the comments in Coley's video mention the archiving of this is basically helping archaeology &/or anthropology. Which I think is important and cool/neat, so I wanna do my part.
