Help please!

I know Kitty Fisher's Paper Flowers was originally published as a zine by Gryphon Press but I could have sworn I'd seen it quite recently at The Archive of Our Own but now I can't find it there. My question is: was this my imagination and if wasn't, has anyone got a link for it please because I've tried all kinds of search terms and nothing comes up.

Many thanks!

I think it is taken down because I found a book from the same author with other names for the acting persons.

Ah, thank you. I think I might have seen something by her at Goodreads and you could be right.

Many thanks for such a quick response!

Paper Flowers was one of the 'ex-Pros' titles published by Wayward Books, so you may well have seen it on Goodreads.

I might have seen it there but I could have sworn I saw it posted at The Archive a while back. Anyway, thanks a lot for that!

I did a listing of AO3 Pros works a few months ago, maybe August, but that one wasn't listed.

I did notice that a number of works were listed apart from their authors names - this was because, I believe, the works were in archives that were being ported to AO3. The ones I have an entry for are:

fhsa_archivist (Fandom Haven Story Archive)
example: Four in the Morning by Barbara Thomas

gssu_archivist (German Speaking Slashers United)
example: Professional Hilarity by Bonehead

chains_archivist (Boys in Chains: the slave!fic archive)
example: "A Game for Two Players" by Jane


So one possibility is that a copy of the work was archived somewhere and was then claimed and removed from AO3 or locked. That is however pure conjecture - I have no facts to support the idea as personally I've never seen the work listed on AO3.

I will take a look through the places you've suggested but I'm beginning to think I imagined it or else for some reason I was confusing it with HG's Rainbow Chasers!

Thanks anyway!
