Archived everything it finds. You can read their history here. How amazing? This is their capture of my Tripod anime webpage from when I was in college. Some of the graphics are missing, yeah, but like. I made this website in fricken , and stopped maintaining it in or Other than me? No one. How do I use Wayback to find stuff like that? The same bar graph is now up top, and you can click on the bar you want to jump to that date and see how the website changed over time β so this capture on April 18th, , is pretty bare bones; by the time of the May capture I screen capped above, things have moved along!
So like, on this page, I can access their list of new works and find different ones by trying the different captures β¦. Uh oh, better watch out for those 4. Not everything will be there, ever. The hard part?
Google search is your friend or your preferred search engine I guess, but I always use Google. It prompt got mad at me and told me rock salt should be two words, and so I changed it, and sure enough the first result was an ancient LJ post that included the links I needed. For works that were originally posted on LJ, FF.
If you remember a quote, try searching for that. Anything you can think of, remember, etc. Alternatively, again for older works, searching for a different work that you know was released around the same time. So, like, looking for a fic byβ¦idkβ¦Fossarian? Or cautionzombies? Try search for aesc, or bauble, or obstinatrix, or annundriel β someone else who was active when Fossarian and cautionzombies were.
Especially, try searching for a contemporary whose works are still up, because you can get titles for those more easily for example, in this case, aesc, annundriel and obstinatrix all have some works cross posted on AO3, so finding the titles is easier, and then you justβ¦keep going til you find what you want. For example, looking for links to cautionzombies stuff? Did the person have alternate usernames they used on different platforms? Did they have a writing community on LJ where they posted for example, a lot of authors posted their works directly to deancasbigbang.
