The Anime Addventure is dying.

[Bob Schroeck]

For those who don't know about it, the Anime Addventure is a collaborative fan fiction site.  It's kind of hard to explain without just sending you there; basically any "chapter" on the site is open to anyone following it up, and plot lines can fork or spawn endlessly.  At last count it had well over a quarter million individual episodes spread through hundreds of storylines.

But it might not get any more.  Kestrel (better known as Gregg "Metroanime" Sharp to those who started their fic reading in the 1990s) has abandoned the site after apparently being harassed in the "behind the story" comment threads, and a number of other prolific contributors seem to have vanished with him.  The site, which used to get anywhere from five to fifteen new episodes a day, has had only eight new posts since August 1.

I'm not trying to rally people to save the Addventure -- I can barely focus on my regular writing, let alone responding to a round robin collaborative site.   I just wanted to alert folks to its possible end so they can find and save favorite storylines, like "No Tendo" and "A Rose At Hogwarts".
