Any tips for getting around archives.org? Somebody recommended it to me
a few weeks ago, so I gave it a quick shot. I was looking for old-time
radio stuff. I failed to find anything, for all the crawling around I
did. I'll therefore be grateful for any pointers on using it.

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.
