Subject: I came quite close to that.

Apples & Oranges (about halfway down the page) uses actual fanfic from the very first days of FFn, back in 1999. So I got the "old" part, but not quite the "zine".

My Timelines have the first agent trio starting work in 1984, so there's a decent backlog of fanfic to work through. The difficulty is finding badfic in the limited selection available. There's certainly some terrible "comedy" stuff that foreshadows the "sugar-high" material of the early oughts, but I'm not sure it's even worth a mission.

Still, it should be possible to find something. I'll have to look at my calculations on what the '99 PPC looked like, then work it backwards to Lofty Skies in '92. It might be fun to set a series immediately before that Emergency: early enough to be different, but late enough that most zines we have access to will be appropriate.

(I should also put A&O on AO3, as one of my "modern series".)
