You know, between ff.net and LJ with its crap searchability, we already "lost" more than half-decade at least's worth of stories in the sense that you can't bloody find the stuff. I can lay my hands on a due South story from 1998 with *no problem*--its at the Due South Archive* or the due Slash archive--but try and find one from 2005. It's buried in someone's LJ who didn't tag (I don't tag, and anyway, I don't think there were tags then) or it's on a webpage that has norobots so if you're lucky that someone's linked to it: if not, tough!
