Hey guys! Guess what?! Okay, you know how fics with missing chapters can still be read in their entirety by clicking on the printable option?
Well, I just had a thought that maybe the seemingly-completely-non-retrievable threads *were* still retrievable if you could figure out the url of the printable version and type it in your browser manually, you know, by studying the non-retrievable non-printable thread urls which you can still see listed on the forums even if you can't click on them without being redirected to the main page? *deepbreath* ... so I did a test and it worked!

That's the original printable thread for
BabyDee's "Orchestrato"!
So you just have to take that url above and change the thread/story ID # "8720" to whatever fic thread number you want to view...and hopefully it should load up any other "missing" fic too! I tried it for
"Fragile Hearts" by
Tasha and it worked as well!

Of course it's not as convenient as easily clicking on the new backup threads
lexie so kindly provided.
But with a little extra effort, at least we can still see the original threads with all the discussion and reviews of the stories intact... yay!
Maybe this'll save
lexie a bit of work in the future too.
I'm sorry I didn't think of this sooner,
lexie! Although it's not possible to leave new comments on the printable version, right? So it's still good to have these new backup threads to post in.
ETA: Oooh maybe we could post links to the original printable urls *in* the new backup threads for handy clicking and reading! Sorry if that's a little excessive...just the crazy archivist in me wanting to preserve original dates & discussions...but of course the story's the main thing, so feel free to ignore me and yikes I'm not trying to create *more* work for
lexie, I swear!
