As usual these days, I'm slow on the uptake with the ML, so I'm
just going to reply to the first message in the thread rather
than find an appropriate one later in the cascade that followed.

I have about 200 Mb of fanfic, mixed plaintext and zip archives,
dating back at least to 1996 (at least that was the earliest I
spotted in an admittedly hasty look-thru), fairly complete up to
about 2007 and kind of random after that.  I even have most of
it organized by fandom and story (I had much more free time on
my hands about ten years ago).  It probably isn't a complete
archive of the FFML -- as I recall I only saved stuff that
caught my interest -- but I'd be willing to package it up for
anyone who wanted it, or dig through it to see if I have missing
parts of stories for people who need them.
