I remember talking about saving old entries and communities with someone not so long ago, and I didn't really understand the true importance of doing that until now. I've fallen for a fandom that is older! Roswell aired in 1999! And it's been so hard to find any posts and see what people were writing back then. Most livejournal links lead to deleted journals. I haven't really been able to find any fic aside from a few super long fic recs that lead to dead links. All of the icon posts no longer have any images or there's the big photobucket watermark on them. I kind of feel like an internet detective.

I google searched with the 'livejournal:' connector for ships and I did find three lovely ship manifestos for Liz/Max, Maria/Michael, and Liz/Kyle at ship-manifesto. The fic rec links are dead though.

I also found this fandom forum called roswellfanatics.net (Remember fandom forums?!). This was before AO3 and spotify and maybe even 8tracks? So all of the fanmixes posted on this thread are lovely and filled with nostalgia for me, but I have to listen to them one by one, or search on youtube. There were a few songs still available on box.com.

There's also a fanvids thread filled with dead links that lead to deleted youtube accounts or individual fan websites that have been taken down. It's so sad because I want to see! all the old stuff! There are luckily some that still worked. I'm embedding all of the Roswell vids/accounts that I could find so far.
