Akamatsuverse Help: Can't find a fic!

I think this is the right place to ask, so yea.
There's a certain fic that I found on FF.net, but have managed to lose. I can't remember the author or title for the life of me.:headbanger:
Plot summary: It's several years(five-six, maybe more) in the future, and everyone but Naru going back to the Hinata house for a reunion event. Keitaro is bitter and sad, because Naru sucked off some big-shot politician to further her own career while Keitaro was off on some archaeological dig.
He gets back to the Hinata House, meets grow-up Shinobu who still loves him, and gets seduced. ^_^ The other gilrs show up soon, and I think most, if not all of them end up screwing Kei too. :p There's lots of "healing Keitaro's emotional wounds", and lots of the girls bashing Naru, both because she hurt Kei, and because she threw away the guy that everyone wanted. There's some of this, then everyone gets kidnapped. Can't remember what happens next.
Does this sound familiar to anyone, and does anybody have a link to it? I'd love to see it again, both becasue it was one of the first Love Hina fics I read, and because I thought it was really good. Could be the nostalgia that makes me remember it as great, but w/e.
:help: pleeeeeeeeeeeease?

I remember that story, but I don't think it exists on FF.net anymore.
Something went haywire with the author's attitude and he removed all his fics(including a Keitaro/Tsuruko fic, IIRC - the name with the mixed up chapter 3).

Future attempts to get him to resume writing failed. Someone here might have a saved copy of the fic though. Let's see how your luck holds up... :p

And it was quite a good fic too.. :(

Yea, I got a PM with the Fic name: Return to HinataSou. Checked for it, and nothing. :blue:

Always sucks when a good author decides to quit, but it's worse when they remove everything they have written.

Meh, here's hoping someone has it still... :unsure:

I'm pretty sure you all are referring to an Author that was going by the name of Little Tart aka Little Wooden Boy.

The Keitaro/Tsuruko story was called 'Comfort'. Also made a couple decent Keitaro/Motoko ones, called 'Her Chance' and 'The Book'.

While I have those, the one you guys are referring to I do not, as I did not care for it when I read it.

The guy actually started blasting his readers before changing his name from Little Tart to Little Wooden Boy, at one point changed fandoms, then came back and was still a bit of a jerk.

Finally removed all his stuff.

Might want to check with VoidHawk. Also elsewher ein this forum it was discussed in more detail.

I have chapters 1 & 2 of 'Her Chance', were there any others?

And was 'Comfort' a good story?

His stories were actually quite well written. Comfort was actually a very good Kei/Tsu pairing for its time. ^_^

I think at least one other member here should have "Return to Hinata" saved on their comp somewhere? Maybe try your luck with GH or PChientz...

I have the ones I mentioned, I do not have 'Return to Hinata Sou', which was why I refered him to VoidHawk.

EDIT:

'Her Chance' was stopped at 2 chapters.

'Comfort' was stopped at 3, but you had to be one of the original readers to get the *correct* chapter 1 and *correct* chapter 3. When he reposted, he overwrote chapter 1 with chapter 3.

'The Book' was also stopped at 3 chapters.

None of them were badly written, though all of them could have used some improvement.

Pity he stopped. 'Her Chance' was one of the 1st Mo/Kei fics I read. Thanks to it I looked up other such fics until I found 'Loss and Redemption'. 'nuf said.

Do you know of any site which archived 'Comfort' and 'The Book'? If not could I trouble you for a zip-file? :sisi: :sisi:

Sent GH a PM regarding this thread. Here's hoping...

PM me your e-mail and I can do it. The PM system on Invision to the best of my knowledge cannot support file attachments.

PM sent. Thanks again. :hail:

Asked Raa if he had a copy. No joy. :blue:

No answer from GH.

GH says he doesn't have a copy.

VoidHawk hasn't logged-in recently. Sending him an e-mail.

Comfort really had a good plot going. Pity it never finished. In that vein: PCHeintz72? part 3 seemed rather short and incomplete. Was that all there was?

---

Does anybody know of an indexed archive of the FFML? That may be our last resort for looking for old, lost fics. :blue:

We were lucky to have gotten that.

He posted that when fans asked him to repost Comfort after he took it down, he was not happy at all and posted an unfinshed draft 3 (its state is ovbious) as chapter 1, and 2 as 2, thus for a while, chapter 1 was lost. He did not even care to correct it when fans asked.

This was all toward the height of the discussion flame post war that was going on. He disappeared only a couple weeks later IIRC.

Heard from VoidHawk.

Good news; he has an archived copy of 'Return to Hinatasou' and is willing to share.

Send him an e-mail if you want a copy.

Thanks for starting this thread, aledeth. I not only got Tart's fics, but looking for them also led me to some old fics that I either forgot about or never even came across before. :mmm:

Question: has anyone ever done a Love Hina/Sailor Moon x-over? For some reason, I see poor Keitaro getting regularly walloped by all the Senshi as they misconstrue his clumsiness for perversion, an attack by someone who is possessed by a youma, or whatever. And then, to add insult to injury, Naru and Motoko appearing, and Naru-Punching/Secret Technique-ing him.

DAA? Kind of the wrong thread to ask. This thread is primarily for fics that once existed, but the person can't find it. Not for fics that, might have, or might not have been made.

And in case you're wondering, no, I don't know of any crossovers.

Author resurrection alert!

Little Tart is back with a new story.
I wish he would continue 'Comfort', or even 'Her Chance' or 'The Book'. Oh well.

I think I remember a fic that had Love Hina set way back in Japan's history where Haruka was some kind of warlord in control of Mongolia, China, and Korea and where Keitaro was some ronin who was reincarnation of someone who taught Motoko's ancestors how to fight. Does anyone remember what that fic was called?

Or how about the one where Keitaro died and became an Einherjar.

I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out on these fics.

The fic that starts as a fic from the past in which all the characters are brought back to the present time through fate is called Legends by nivremous of ff.net. The link is here.

Hey guy's I realise I'm several years late on the posting here but I've been looking for the fics for quite a while as discussed earlier 'The Keitaro/Tsuruko story called 'Comfort'. Also fics Keitaro/Motoko ones, called 'Her Chance' and 'The Book'.'
I'm not sure if anyone is still reading the posts but if anyone did, I was wondering if someone could PM me the stories if they have an archive please?

Sorry, but those seem to be just gone and FF.net can't be searched by the Wayback Machine. It's why on the rare occasion where a fanfic really is good to read I save it.

Those three Love Hina stories were all made by a author whom liked to change their pen name a lot, and decided to pursue a flame war in the C&C section on FF.NET... and played with posting, removing, and reposting stories...

Known name changes were Little Tart, to Little Wooden Boy, back to Little Tart, and then to something else the name escapes me offhand (EDIT: Remembered it: 'Dim myArse as String') , and again back to Little Tart.

More than those three were written by that author... besides some Naruto stories, I know the author also posted as far as know:

'Being Mitsune Konno' stopped at 1 chapter
'The Book' stopped at 3 chapters
'Her Chance' stopped at 2 chapters
'The Moments that Define Us' stopped at 1 chapter
'Taking It Back' stopped at 1 chapter
'Comfort' stopped at 3 chapters

Also, be careful on Comfort... even if you find a version, it may be the incorrectly uploaded version. It had chapter 3 replacing chapter 1, and chapter 2 intact, and no 3rd chapter. It was corrected (after long debate), then only a few days later removed entirely.

The author profile still exists out there, but the only story left is one called 'Thrice'.

EDIT: Ugh... I noticed after making this post I responded years ago in this very thread on that author... oh well...

Thanks so much for letting me know guy's, quite frankly I wasn't sure if anyone would reply due to the threads age.
Never mind, if I don't ask I'll never get? lol
