Today, tarzanxshameofjane1995engl work exists only as a phantom keyword. It has never been archived by the OTW (Organization for Transformative Works).

A student might have written a term paper titled "Tarzan x Shame of Jane: The Erotics of Abjection in Burroughs"—with "x" standing for "versus" or "intersection."
