Line 1:
Diamonds (and embarrassing posts on social media) may be forever -- but not so works on the Web.
This category is for electronic works that existed at one time, for long enough that they found a fan willing to write up a page here (or on TV Tropes before us), but in the time since have vanished without a trace, not even in the [[Wayback Machine]]. We add them to this category -- usually as a side effect of putting the {{tl|MIA}} banner on them -- in the hopes that someone perusing the list below will recognize something they have stored on a hard drive, memory stick or floppy disk somewhere and put them back up somewhere on the web<ref>The Source subpage of the work page here on ATT would be an ideal location for many such works, we would like to note.</ref>. (And, presumably, take the MIA banner off their pages and link them to the new location.)
This page is ''only'' for electronic works like [[Web Comics]] and other ephemeral art forms like pre-Net [[Fanfic]] (which was usually distributed via low-circulation mimeographed 'zines). It is not for things like lost epics written by Ancient Greeks -- there has to be a decent chance someone reading the wiki might actually have a copy stashed away somewhere.
