Did anyone...

Save off rageprufrock's 14 Valentines stories, which appear to be archived only at her strictly private LJ, which has blocked searchbots such as the Wayback Machine?

I'm most interested in re-reading Post Nuptial, though How Jane Sheppard Got Her Groove Back was v. funny, and Circuitous sticks in my mind as quite amusing, as well.

Indications on her LJ are that she wouldn't welcome inquiries, so I turn to the ever resourceful flist.

Did you check her blog? I am pretty sure they were up there at some point.

I think I did

I hit the SGA tag, and all of the links on the talkoncorners blog went to the livejournal posts. I was bemused.

Ha. Okay. There goes my not helpful suggestion.

To be fair

[justalurkr.livejournal.com]

I did three or four of my standard search routines, realized I should be packing for/sleeping for my flight up to Shore Leave tomorrow and left it to the flist. ;)

Standard search routines:

--the livejournal in question, which has one public entry alleging that the bio sez 14 Valentines stories will be up when she has time + a bio entry that sez 14 Valentines stories will be up in two weeks (since, like, April)

--alternate blog (talkoncorners) the SGA tag, plus most recent post, which is from April, + my life=hard tag, seeking understanding of hold up in updating

--Wayback machine with link from various story recs, only to find out the private-only LJ has been searchbot blocked

--Google, to see if the cache function worked, to find out (duh) google is a blockable searchbot

--fandom_wank, I blush to disclose. While they exist to dish the dirt, much information can be gleaned about the whereabouts and events of a given objet-de-wank's circumstance, except for rageprufrock's.

I checked fandom_wank because an abrupt privatization of a journal usually results from...wank. Or, possibly, a personal issue, which I suppose would be none of my beezwax.

[sigh] This is where we all cultivate patience, I suppose.

I am fairly sure Pru just got tired of fandom, and people being dicks to her. I didn't hear it being any one thing.

Hmm. Maybe try looking through delicious for tags where they might be located, if you still want to make the effort at this point. Otherwise, I hope someone has them for you.

I can't say I blame her, if that's the case.

I suppose I should still be packing/sleeping. [isn't packy or sleepy]

I hope they do, too.

It actually was a helpful suggestion!
