like indiana jones, but with a laptop
I have spent the afternoon doing some serious FANDOM ARCHAEOLOGY. Earlier this month, I found out through care_says that for some reason, one or both of the maintainers of yankeeficswap decided to delete the community. My reactions, in order, were:
1. Um, what?
2. MY REVIEWS!
3. MY BOOKMARKS!
I made a half-hearted effort to find the post archived somewhere, but when I couldn't, I pretty much forgot about the whole thing. Then, while Googling myself earlier today [who are all these other people going by dudski?], I found the fic that was written for me, and decided to see what else I could dig up.
Before I list what I ended up finding, I'll post the much shorter list of what I wasn't able to recover. I apologize in advance for the fact that knowing me seems to work against you!
