Rescuing from the dust bin of fandom

[shipperx]

green_maia  was asking about BtVS meta and that brought to mind the old fan-project "Spike Thesis" based on the Watcher named Lydia announcing  "I wrote my thesis on Spike."  At the time, several of us got together and wrote the thesis for her.  Alas, both of the links where it was stored are now defunct.  So I thought I'd poke around yahoogroups and I see that the group is still there, and the files are still there (though I'm not sure whether they were the final product).  I'm wondering whether I should contact Klytemnestra, who I know is still around LJ, and ask if she has the final copy anywhere or whether it's okay to snag the old files.  It seems a shame for all of that to simply evaporate.

And Rahirah has provided the link:  www.scribd.com/doc/16266234/Spike-Thesis  (wonder if I should download and save that somewhere just in case it goes missing).

Spike Thesis! I wrote a chapter of that. *g* And I do not know if that's the final copy or not. Seems worth asking before it disappears.

It's still up - I just posted the link over at Maia's.

I have a copy of the final version saved in October of 2003 and it's the same as the one Barb posted. What a great piece of work!

Not sure if someone answered this yet, but yes. Things can actually disappear from the interwebs (or your computer) and be lost forever. If you have a gmail, I'd actually save a file there as well.

I have something called "The Spike Thesis" saved as PDF file, if you want it.
