Here's a weird dream I had last night. I had, apparently, read someone's fanfic for... something I can't remember now. This fanfic reminded me of a video game that I had played... which I can't remember now what the game was. So I emailed the author of the fic and asked if I could write a follow-up crossover fanfic between his/her characters/world (based on whatever pre-existing[?] thing his/her fic had been about) and this other video game, which was thematically similar. He/she seemed to like the idea, and we discussed it back and forth. I'm not sure I ever actually ended up writing this thing IRL (in the dream, that is), though. The only detail I remember from the dream was an email subject line which contained, among other things, the phrase "two miners" and the word "silver." That's all.
It seemed real enough that when I got up, I checked Google (and Google Groups alt.fan.sailor-moon, as that seems like the most likely place such a thing would have occurred, given the "timeframe" of the dream) for some combination of either "Kane Magus" or my actual name and "miners" and "silver," just to see if I was about to uncover some long-forgotten fanfic that I'd written years ago, or had at least talked about writing on some forum somewhere years ago. But, as I really expected in the end, there were no results of any relevance or interest.
I even searched my email in Thunderbird for references to "miners" and "silver," but then, if this had happened as long ago as was implied by the dream, it would have been back in the days when I was still using the old Netmcr/Nuvox email, and not either of the Comcast email I used after moving to WA or the Gmail I use now, and all of that Netmcr stuff is long vanished.
