The Fake Book is A.C. Chapin's archive of her fan fiction and fan poetry. It was originally part of her personal website, and then pulled out separately and put on GeoCities (at http://www.geocities.com/pqlaertes/) under the pen name "p. q. laertes". When all GeoCities sites were taken down by Yahoo! in 2009, a copy of The Fake Book was preserved in its entirety by the Forever Knight Website Archive. All this author's fic is now housed under the account pqlaertes at Archive of Our Own.

At the top of the index page, it says:

"This is a small archive of fiction by p. q. laertes. It is very unlikely that this page will be updated, as p. q. laertes will not be writing any more fic."
