Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related PLEASE HELP ME FIND 2 STORIES

FIRST:

I came across one story that I can't get to:

In the S5 series - CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME, by Sandy Mc Dermin. I was instructed to write her at - smcdermin@erols.com, but my messeges just keep being returned with fatal error (unable to deliver). Does anyone know how to reach Sandy. I would love to finish reading S5 before I get to S6, but with this story missing - I'm missing a step. Has anyone out there read it?

SECOND:

I was reading a story by Rachel M. called "The Almost-Forgotten Planet and Person". The story ends in mid-sentence. I tried sending Rachel an e-mail at - LnCSwing@AOL.COM, which is the address in the story header, but again, my e-mails are returned as unable to deliver. Does anyone know how to reach Rachel? I'd love to finish the story.

Any ideas, please post here or send me e-mail at pumpkin188@earthlink.net.

Thanks to all,
Linda/ultrawoman

Hi Linda,

See your email!

Sandy has a new email. It's mcdermin@his.com

Thanks for Sandy's new address. I appreciate the help.

Does anyone have any ideas about how I can reach Rachel? I'm really eager to get the ending of her story "The Almost-Forgotten Planet and People"

Hi, Linda. I've just pulled up this story on the Fanfic Archive and it's intact. So you'll find it there. Enjoy!

Hi LabRat,

Thank you for responding.

I just went back to the story. I searched by author and title. Both are still incomplete. The the story I see ends as follows:

"Zara! Ching! What are you doing here?"

"We were just about to ask you the sa

If you can see "the end" than there is a problem on my end. Any suggestions?

Do you know how to contact Rachel M.? Is there someone who can send the story to me via e-mail?

HELP PLEASE!!!

Thanks,
Linda/ultrawoman

Linda, it's definitely complete on the Archive. Try reloading from the server instead of from cache - you could clear your cache, or simply hold down the shift key at the same time as you click the 'refresh' button. That should work.

WENDY,

Please disregard the above reply. I goofed.

??I do not understand 'reloading from the server instead of from cache'. I did try using the shift key and clicking on refresh. It did not work.

This was not the only story I have had trouble getting. I run into 'PAGE CANNOT BE FOUND' alot!!!

I was just in the Soulmate Chronicles, and I can't get to any of those stories.

Any help would be greately appreciated.

BY THE WAY - YEAH!


I did get 'The Almost-Forgotten Planet and Person' and 'Charity Begins at Home'.



THANKS MUCH Liz and LabRat!!!

I deleted your 'goof' post, Linda. I don't know what you thought the problem was with it - but just for future reference, you can always edit a post you've made. Just click on the icon above your post that looks like a pad and pen. That'll let you access the post to make any changes you want. You can't delete a post, but if you indicate that you'd like it to be deleted, one of the admins/mods can do that for you.

Is your problem with the Soulmates Chronicles stories a different one? You say you can't access the files at all, rather than getting into the file and it being incomplete? Once again, they're showing up fine when I checked them just now. So it definitely looks as though the problem is with your system or server.

Do you use a firewall? I can't imagine that that would let you into some files but not others, but you never know.



LabRat

You reminded me that my website has a page devoted to the SoulMates Chronicles -- when I checked it, tho, I found my links to the files on the archive weren't working. My links were all to www.lcfanfic.actwd.com . When I took out the ".actwd" part, they worked again. Probably that's not what's happening here, but I thought I'd mention it.

Anyway, I fixed the links, if you want to try a different way in, Linda. Plus my page has the cool posters that Zoomway made up for each of the four stories

Are you using a dial-up connection? When I was on dial-up I sometimes had problems getting an entire story to load. I remember my frustration at trying to read "Meet Me in St. Louis" because the entire story wouldn't load. The problem's been solved with a high-speed cable connection.

Also you may try cleaning out your cache. Click on Tools at the top of your screen, then Internet Options. Click on Delete Files, click the little box that says "Delete all offline content" and click OK. That frees up space on your harddrive and makes surfing easier.
