These files were a bit more work to put together, since they were deleted before they could be copied and saved in the last big back-up. However, thanks to our friends at the web archive, I was able to copy and paste some back-up file copies for the future. And, as always, I'm happy to share.

( 19 Fics by Batox deleted from ff.net )


( Steplianna - 3 fics )

Continuing with some more recovered archived copies of Rayne fics:

( DTS Guru - 4 fics )

_________

( Planet P - 4 fics )

_______

( Single Fics by Various Authors )

I did a much more thorough sift through my downloaded archive files this time, and I came up with a number of other River/Jayne fics that have been removed from the net. As always, please let me know if you'd like a copy of any or all.

I've also noted some that are still accessible through the Wayback Machine, if you don't want to bother with downloading files.

LET THERE BE RAYNE . . . !

( CodexFawkes - 22 fics )


( DixonVixen93 - 9 fics )

In addition to the 80 or so file versions of Firefly River/Jayne fanfics I have to share (including all the works of mik109 and thefriskyfire/The Frisky Firelily which had been deleted from fanfiction.net and two 'lost' works of gem588, "Stand or Fall" and "Better Than Gold"), I also want to remind anyone who's been searching that I have file copies of the fics of a much-beloved Lecter-fic author, Green Jewels.

I copied all Green Jewels' ff.net stories (the ones not found on other sites, anyway) into documents before she took them down back in 2013.

I wrote to her when I noticed that "Taking Liberties" had disappeared from ff.net, and she told me she was taking them ALL down, so I had warning even before she posted a warning to everyone in place of a final update on "Skin Game". I had time to copy not only every chapter of "Skin Game", but also selections of the more meaty discussions in the many, MANY reviews people had left over the years she was writing it.

"Against Her Will" (an AU taking off from the ending of the film "Hannibal") is the only other fic of Green Jewels' that I copied down because it didn't seem to be available on any other site. The others I made copies of were 'just in case'.

"Taking Liberties" (the prequel to "Skin Game") is still available on another site:
https://hannibalvisionsarchive.wordpress.com/2010/04/27/taking-liberties/, as are a number of other shorter works of hers (https://hannibalvisionsarchive.wordpress.com/tag/green-jewel/). :)

Since the PrettyDeadly.net website went down (sometime in 2015, though it'd been wonky for some years before that), those of us who occasionally enjoy reading some River/Jayne Firefly fic have not had access to the lists of and links to award-winning and nominated fics that we used to find there.

Because I'm just that obsessive (and hate to lose any more fandom history of any kind), I've been working to piece together the "Blue Sun Fandom Awards", "Best of Rayne", and "Pretty Deadly Awards" lists -- with the last one being the toughest, since we apparently relied entirely on the PrettyDeadly.net website to preserve that info and didn't post complete (or even near-complete or partial) lists anywhere else at the time.

The information and links I've been able to acquire over the past couple of weeks are now posted on my LJ under this tag: https://revdorothyl.livejournal.com/tag/awards

Everything that contains my far-from-complete and way-too-spotty information about the "Pretty Deadly Awards" (2007-2010) can be found here: https://revdorothyl.livejournal.com/tag/pretty%20deadly

Same goes for the results of the "Best of Rayne" awards (2005-2007): https://revdorothyl.livejournal.com/tag/best%20of%20rayne

And for the "Rayne-adjacent" portions of the "Blue Sun Fandom Awards" (2004-2005): https://revdorothyl.livejournal.com/tag/blue%20sun

I have yet to set up individual tags for the actual award categories, but here's how they work out in terms of numbered posts:

If ANYONE reading this was nominated for a "Pretty Deadly Award" for any year other than 2008 (the only year's ballot I was able to retrieve), please, please, pretty please let me know so I can improve the database I've been trying to patch together.

I'd especially like to have an idea of the nominees for the 2011 PDAs, since the results from that year were invalidated at the request of the one author who won every award that year due to an overly-enthusiastic friend who nominated her fics and repeatedly voted for them all regardless of category.

I'm also still missing the 2010 winners in the best song-fic, best Rayne kiss, and best Jayne-centric categories, as well as almost all the nominees in every category.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Just in case I forgot to include this information in the entry before last, out of all those hours and hours of downloaded "F" fandom fanfics from fanfiction.net in years past, I saved and am willing to share my file copies of 67 stories by The Frisky Firelily [62 of those stories can actually be read in their entirety on 'Wayback' starting here] and 11 stories by mik109.

The mik109 fics I have saved are: "She's Not Normal" [incomplete], "A Solid Foundation", "Babysittin'", "Choices", "Deal", "Her Airlock", "Hostage", "Not Looking", "Not Worth the Trouble", "Slinky", and "Spotter". [All 11 of these can still be accessed in their entirety through Wayback Machine archive, as well, starting from here]

Thanks to friendly folks on the Rayne_Shippers LJ community, I already had text files of gem588's no-longer-available (since the crashing of the "Forecast: Rayne" website years ago) fics "Stand or Fall" and "Better Than Gold".

If you're a Rayne-friendly sort of Browncoat and want to read or re-read any of these fics, just let me know and I'll email a file copy to you.

A new friend over on the Rayne_Shippers LJ community gave me a link to chase down, in case I wanted to work on trying to recover some 'Firefly' fanfics that have been removed from ff.net and even from LJ: https://archive.org/details/fanfictiondotnet_repack

Fair warning: the files are arranged alphabetically by category/fandom, and after that by author, and in order to get 80 deleted 'Firefly' fics, I had to wait over an hour for the massive "F" zip file to download onto my laptop, and then it took around 18 hours to extract all the files in that zip file so I could find the 'Firefly' ones. I finally wised up and cancelled the extraction process before it got to 'Full Metal Alchemist' stories, since I was only going to delete those anyway, and then deleted all the fics that preceded and followed 'Firefly', in order not to take up so much space on my computer.

The deleted fics I was looking for and was able to find (there were many that were deleted prior to 2013-15 when these files were grabbed) were written by mik109 and thefriskyfire, but if you're interested in missing fics from other fandoms, it might be worth your while to take the time to download and unpack a mega zip file or two. :)

[Note: BtVS/Stargate SG1 crossovers, Other SG1 Crossovers, and BtVS/AtS crossovers not involving SG1 are posted separately. Someday, I hope to have a listing of non-crossover fic recommendations to post, mostly based on favorite pairings, but for now I'm tackling the much less daunting task of compiling a list of those few crossover fics that I've read and enjoyed which didn't involve SG1 and/or BtVS.]

Dear fellow Rayne addicts (c'mon, admitting we're powerless over our Rayne-love -- and that we wouldn't want it any other way -- is the first step!),

If you're using an older browser or computer (like me on my work computer) but want to make sure to nominate your favorite Rayne fics of 2011 for the Pretty Deadly Awards, don't let any technical difficulties with the website turn you off.( Read more... )

Here's hoping that everyone with an interest in Rayne fic will be able to nominate something this year, and then enjoy voting for your favorites later on.
