Keep Circulating the Tapes/Fan Works: Difference between revisions

* The ''[[Ranma ½]]/[[Sailor Moon]]'' [[Crossover]] fic ''[[Relatively Absent]]'', by Mark "Togashi Gaijin" Shurtleff: an inventive and very well-written example ''and'' subversion of the classic [[Fuku Fic]] concept. Unfortunately, Shurtleff left the fanfiction scene in 2009 and succeeded in very thoroughly purging this and his other fics from the Net (even from the [[Wayback Machine]]). A decade later he still monitors the web for reappearances of his work and sends politely-worded requests to take it down whenever he finds it. However, while no websites host his stories any more, there are still archives being traded from fan to fan; if you can find [[User:Looney Toons|someone]] who has them, you can still read his [[Dead Fic|sadly incomplete]] works. <!-- This may no longer be true -- links to copies on a dozen different file hosting sites could be found at https://jusenkyo.fandom.com/wiki/Relatively_Absent#Other_External_Links as of April 2020, suggesting he's no longer policing the net for the story. (Just in case, though, this link is in a comment and not open text.) Just how complete these archives are is unknown, though -- the authorized offline archive shared person-to-person contains the prologue, 11 chapters, Shurtleff's untitled sidestory and the sidestory ''Illusions of Honor''; some of the archives appear to stop at chapter 9, and may not have the side stories. -->

* Despite her thorough scrubbing of her former websites, many of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' fics by [[Cori Falls]] survive intact if you know where to ask, to the delight of [[MST|sporkers]] and fandom historians. Unfortunately, [[Missing Episode|the same cannot be said]] of her ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' fics, who apparently are [[Lost Forever]].
