Absent Authors
We've seen a few authors retire over the years.
Some of them take their toys . . . ahem, I mean
their stories with them when they leave. This is
a list of the people we know who have left and
cleaned house at the same time. You won't find
these fics on Gossamer or in the usual archives.

The best way to find their fics is to ask at The Lost and Found Message Board and someone will help you find a copy. But first,check out the Endangered Fics page that was generated by the closing of Geocities' free site hosting.

This list is still in progress. If you are looking for a missing author, please submit a request and we'll track them down, find their stories, and add the information to this FAQ.

Many authors write under two or more names. We're going to include the aliases that we're sure the authors want people to know. We won't make available any author's real name or a name they're trying to separate themselves from - even if it's common knowledge. Please let us know if we've missed someone or if we've included something we shouldn't have.

NOTE: If you come across a title on one of the lists that you recognize but the author's name doesn't ring a bell, be aware that a number of people have changed their writing name for any number of reasons. The names listed with the stories are the ones I was able to verify as being on Gossamer. So hopefully they're as up-to-date as possible and will make it easier for you to find what you're looking for.
