Looks like Gaijin's Realm (http://gaijinsrealm.com/) is officially closed again. And he doesn't want his fics archived.

Too bad. Although I'd pretty much figured this was the case, I was hoping for at least an outline or such of "Relatively Absent". At least he stated it's down, instead of simply ignoring the site.

That's unfortunate. But to be expected given the time lapse and his concentration on original works.

The lack of permanence is a major issue on the internet.

And many of the older stories will fall by the wayside as their hosting is left to lapse.

Such is life.

Well that does suck. I never got around to saving the html versions to my hard drive. All I have is what was put out on the FFML. Even with that I'm missing chapters 6, 9, 10, 11.

Anyone have the html versions that I could get?

Damn.

I'm also missing my copy of Relatively Absent - I'd really appreciate it if someone could send me their copy.

If you head to the IRC chat. ((If you don't know where it is irc.lunarnet.org and channel #Fukufics )) I was given my copy there but since I picked up a virus this morning from another site I suggest going there and asking about it from someone who is more likely to have a completely clean system.

Edit: I'm pretty sure the archive is only for Relatively Absent.

Hmmm... For the Relatively Absent sidestories... Does anyone know if SS#1 Dust was ever actually completed? I know SS#2 was, as I have it. But SS#1 was delayed for a long time.

Keep in mind the SS's were done with approval, but by other authors, not Togashi himself.

I did find reference on th FFML to 4 pages being done and posted to the old sfcmd site before it was truly complete.

The copy of dust by Kenjiro Cross that WarGiver kindly gave me is about 6 pages long and ended with Cologne talking / thinking to herself about the catch 22 situation that she found herself in with Ranma in relation to him refusing return with her and the laws saying she should bring him back. the final line is : to be continued

Is that helpful?

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of 'Relatively Absent'? I wanna re-read it, but my google-fu is weak.

I'd be interested in getting a copy myself. That fic is brilliant - pity it's incomplete.
