Notes

• In January 2006, Livejournal users Juggzy and Jackfirecat posted several short fiction pieces describing imaginary locations. On 9 March 2006, user Bluedevi labelled these "Invisible Cities", which became a meme as other users created their own "Invisible Cities". The Blind Atlas website was created later that month to collect and host these pieces.
• In 2015, Bucher-Jones released two sets of eight tourism-themed "drabbles from the City of the Saved" in the "Blind Atlas Cities" tag on his blog, with permission from the City's creator and owner, Philip Purser-Hallard. However, these were not indexed on BlindAtlas.com, as the domain had been unregistered since 2011.
