I was poking around the AO3 tonight, and stumbled across one of my favorite fanworks from the early '00s:
Deep Fanfic Thoughts, by Jack Handey, which I now know was written by
Vali (... okay, it is totally cool that you can make a link like that to an AO3 user account!); back in the day, IIRC, it was posted anonymously.
It was written in 2001, and anyone who was in mailing list fandom, particularly on slash lists, will recognize pretty much everything there. Heeee.
It vanished off the net somewhere around 2005, as near as I can tell; I haven't been able to find anything but references to it for several years, and always regretted not saving a copy for myself. Yay for the AO3!
(Me, I still wish that more planets had fallen under the ruthless domination of Prospect-L, but then I'm biased. *g*)
