The Vanished Fanfiction Archive

Ever read a wonderful fic, and then go to tell a friend a few years later and find that the site is dead? In most cases, authors have the foresight to also send their fics to somewhere like Fanfiction.net or the RAAC archive, but not always. “Quantum Destinies” and “Trial by Tenderness” are two notable examples.

That’s where my new site comes in. Whenever I become aware of a decent fanfic that has dropped off the web because the author seems to have vanished, I’ll do my best to dig up a copy, and then share it. In some cases, it’s as simple as digging into the 300MB+ personal archive of fiction that has built up thanks to my “save it as you read it” policy.

For those of you who have never read El Goonish Shive, let me explain. It’s a webcomic about a bunch of teenagers who get into various situations that don’t always respect the laws of physics. It may sound cheesy, but you’ll have to trust me when I say that it’s one of the best comics on the web. (I’d say it’s the best, but your tastes may differ)
