    I'm just going to get straight to the point, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum- I haven't been here in like two years, ANYWAY:

    I wrote a story here called Nanashi, it was a MCR fanfiction. I finished it probably back in 2007 or 2008. It was still pretty in my profile section until I recently checked and it's gone gone without a trace. I am 99% sure I did not delete this story. However, I can't find it literally ANYWHERE. Not even my older computer. I am super upset about this.

    Is there anyway that either A. There is some kind of archiving system that might have the story. or B. IF anyone knows if Imnotokay.net archived their stories back when there was fanfiction on the site?

    I know it is a long shot, but I'm really sad that this story is gone. If anyone has maybe seen it on other websites, or maybe even saved it for some reason...can you let me know....

    I know this sounds ridiculous.

    Sincerely,

    Sardonic Grin.

    I mean that's what I was thinking originally, but it's deleted apparently. So I was merely asking if there is an archiving system on Mibba that would have maybe backed it up. I tried googling it. Apparently it was good, but not good enough for someone to plagiarized it and post it somewhere else. Which would have ironically helped me.

    As far as I'm aware, Mibba / INO doesn't / didn't archive pages and if the story isn't showing (and I checked the admin tab as well in case we could see it as staff and it doesn't show) then it's unlikely we can find it on the site at all. It might be worth trying Wayback Machine to see if you can find it that way. If you put your user URL into that, it might let you into your story page as it was a while back and you might be able to get it back that way, but it's not guaranteed. The only other suggestion I have is to try the 'drafts' feature and see if it saved into there for whatever reason, but I can't remember if that was on Old Mibba or whether that was a newer addition.
