This may be of interest to some posters here.
So a few weeks ago, a friend-of-a-friend pointed me at the massive fanfiction archive Archive of our Own (not entirely SFW). Poking around a bit in their archives, I noticed that they had what appears to be a complete set of the Qu Marsh/Cosmo Canyon/Fritz Fraundorf humor fanfics, including the most recent in the loose series, which was apparently released in June 2013 (!!!).
Kind of an interesting trip down memory lane. I think I stopped paying attention to these in '98 or '99- I definitely remember reading GA2, which was apparently released in '99- but I only vaguely remember anything after that. I do remember that his Family Guy-style 'reference humor' wore thin pretty quickly with exposure; a brief look at some of his newer works indicates that his writing improved after I stopped reading.
Still, looking back at the titles brings me back... Nostalgic flashbacks to summers when I was much younger: playing Wild ARMs on my brand-new PS1; sitting on the Esplanade and reading the manual for the then-newly-translated Tactics Ogre; waking up early to play Breath of Fire 3 a few hours before walking the four miles to the Commuter Rail into Boston and Driver's Ed; reading GA2 chapters on slow afternoons manning the phones at my first job.
