Okay, where the hell did it come from?
08-21-2008, 06:47 PM
Okay, I just finished reading four chapters and a timeline of an unfinished fic called Bubblegum Convergence, which crosses over BGC with Sailor Moon. I've had them in my "to read" archive since April and only now got to them. And now that I'm impressed, I want to find out if there's more. Except... It's not listed by Google, and there's no URL in the files, and there's no author's name. I've completely forgotten where I got it from. I'm presuming someone here sent it to me to read, so if you were the kind person, please wave your hand or something? Thanks.

Don't know anything about this one myself, but I've just asked over on the BGC Usenet group, alt.fan.bgcrisis - I'll pass along any replies.
(Oh, yes - like Google, AltaVista also doesn't have a listing for it.)

Doesn't appear to be in the fanfic.net RAAC archive mirror.

The person with Asperger's Syndrome who's latched onto BGC as her fixation hasn't heard of it. That probably means somebody e-mailed it to you for pre-reading, as you suspected to begin with...

Thanks, guys, for your help. I can only hope whoever it was spots this.

....weird thought of the day...
You wrote it yourself at some point and then forgot about it?
...In which case being impressed is perfectly understandable....

I seem to recall it being posted on the board...

was kidding...
I can't think of what would make anyone submit for prereading and then forget about it...
The odd thing is, the title does ring a bell. I could have sworn I read it somewhere inside this forum sometime in late 2005... I remember the approximate time
because the BCG discussion it came up in (is it possible to have an un-crack BGC/SM? - and then somone put bits of a similar titled fic up for people to
illustrate the view that it was possible) sent me off to read BGC stuff for the first time...
...Only now I can't find it here anywhere!

I received an email earlier today from a person whose name I do not recognize but who could be one of you folks, who noted that they had a copy of the story
from off the FFML posted by a T. M. Pederson to the list in 2001. So it's possible I might have snagged it from one of the online FFML archives. But in
that case, I ought to have the email headers, too. It's a strange mystery.

I don't know where this came from.... Well, actually, I do, and the
people who mentioned all the bits that went into this and inspired it
are EVIL! If anyone is feeling sadistic and asks for more... there
will be more. You have been warned.

Sylia suppressed another sneeze, and involuntarily winced from the sudden
stress on her sinuses. Awkwardly freezing in position where she had
shifted to look into a cardboard box, Sylia shook her head to clear the
lingering traces of the near explosion. Then she carefully finished her
move and sat back against a support post with a heavy, oblong object
wrapped in brown paper.
The attic was short on head room, as attics often were, though the
sunlight streaming in through one window brightened the place
considerably. As was also often the case, the attic was crammed with boxes
and other miscellaneous items long forgotten or only half remembered by
their previous owners. Voices accompanied the sunlight from
outside-indistinct but for the occasional shout from someone at play-and
also drifted up from the open stairwell leading to the rest of the house.
