Thank you so much for commenting. It means a lot to know that people still find this community useful.

I go through and check for broken links periodically. This last time was depressing. Finding out that JET had deleted her fic journal was a blow. There are so many snippet fics that are just gone now. The moral of that story is if you like it, save it to your hard drive.

As for the rest, I've checked through story 27. So far, more are broken than not. I sent a list with new links to the former moderator, emily_shore, for the first dozen fics, asking her to edit and fix them, but I think she was out of town. I know she's back now. If I don't hear from her soon, I'll write her again. I feel bad about the broken links but unless it's my own post, I can't fix them.

Most of the stories we've read here are at Gossamer or Fugues Fiction Archive. If you can't find something easily, let me know.

It's been too long. I'm going to have to reread this fic to comment further.

Oh, it's very useful! I enjoy reading what other people's comments were, too. In fact, reading the comments before the 'fic helps me decide whether or not I want to read the story.

I'd wonder why JET deleted but recently I deleted all of my 'fic written before 2014 (on old accounts) and it was such an honestly liberating feeling. I left my contact information and told people they could contact me if they wanted to re-read something from back in the day, but I couldn't leave that stuff up for people to read: it was atrocious.

JET's 'fic--at least this one--was rather well-done, though. It's a shame everything was taken down, but I get how it is, as an author.

I'll keep looking through 'fics over the coming weeks and I'll try to drop comments when I can! I'm not sure many of my comments will be as long as this one was, though. :D
