I read through the Superpower of the Day archives today, courtesy of [personal profile] ilzolende.

When I got to this one, a thought occurred to me. That *would* be a neat easter egg, wouldn't it? A way to play with the online medium?

I checked the Internet Archive.

There was no pre-takedown interview in the Wayback Machine: no copy of the post at all, in fact, before I got there. The author *wasn't* thinking along these lines. This post is done in the usual way of writing "we were forced to take this down" fiction, where the original never exists at all out-of-universe.

But it *would* be an interesting way to do it.
