You're welcome. It's actually archive.org. The plural form is a different
site. I've found that if in doubt, try IA first. Even if you don't find what
you want, you're bound to find something interesting. I hadn't actually
searched for fanfiction in years. It's nice having old archives. There is a
way to browse the huge zip files and get only the items you want, but the
syntax is escaping me at the moment. You never know what you'll find. The
problem I have is the stories are only numbers, so without browsing each
file, I have no idea what they're about. I'm referring to the downloads, not
the fanfiction.net site itself. Sorry it took so long to find and answer
your post.

Tony,
I am a firm believer in synchronicity.
What makes your post hug worthy is that I was just wondering about
archives.org. Reasoning being that sometimes a writer decides, either by
accident or intention to delete all their fanfiction.net work. I recently
found an hp story by such a writer, wondered about their other creations,
and thought....hmmmm wonder if archives.org has anything?
That was last night, I check mail this morning to find your post.
So...
*hugs*
Thanks!

Again, as usual, sorry for the lateness, but search for fanfiction on
archive.org. Archive Team uploaded a huge dump of the fanfiction.net site,
perfect for offline reading, assuming it's still there. Be warned that
it's very huge! Don't download on a slow connection or with limited disk
space. I'm not sure if new stuff is added and I don't remember the upload
date offhand, so probably a few years old by now, but still a huge amount
of reading material. It's a full or nearly complete site dump, so should
be navigable with any browser.

(yes, both your original post and your nudge came through)
Am I missing something in particular? I visited the site in
Lynx-the-cat and was able to get to a number of the fanfic works
without any issue. Just to sample, I went in by Movie and sampled
some of the X-Men works, and went in by TV Show and sampled some of
the M*A*S*H works. They all came back as HTML.
If you're looking for a scraper, the classic "wget" tool should
provide the ability to scrape a subset of the site. You might then
have to do some post-cleanup if you don't want all the site-related
periphery.
