The story so far:

It began with a spelling mistake.

Now this, in itself, is a rather common event, and does not usually lead to the creation of a new and wonderful website. People and other similar beings have been getting letters and whole alphabets mixed up for some time, baffling anthropologists, grade school teachers, and Internet Search Engines.

Internet Search Engines, it should be mentioned, are not very smart things. If, for instance, you were to hand in a paper with the word "hitchiker" on it to a grade school teacher, most usually he, she, or it would understand pretty much instantly what you meant, and any amateur anthropologist would be so amazed at having found said paper to notice such mundane things as a missing "h."

AltaVista, on the other hand, was completely baffled. And so was Google, and so was Yahoo, and, in fact, most of the Engines I tried. I soon became discouraged and exhausted (it was nearing dawn), asking my goldfish or whoever else was listening, "Where is it all? Isn't there any Hitchhiker fan fiction?"

The answers, of course, are "Yes," and "Here," in no particular order. I could go on, but, really, it would be much more fun to go on to the stacks and read some stuff in there for a while.
