The case of the disappearing awesomest series ever :(

Jul 07, 2011 04:49

So I was rereading my favorite old Mal/River fics the other day, as you do ;) , and I discovered that the journal of srichard/Sophie Richard - author of the fantastic Riverrun series, as well as a number of freaking incredible one-offs - had been deleted and everything was gone. THE COLOSSAL HOLE IN MY HEART, LET ME SHOW YOU IT ( Read more... )

Just checked my bookmarks and they all go to her deleted journal. Such a shame :(

It is a TRAGEDY! But OMGOMG I sob no more because dis-inclined saved it all in a lovely archive. THANK GOODNESS does not even begin to cover it.

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!!!!!!

Try the internet archive? It might have caught some :)

ninamazing July 8 2011, 02:32:36 UTC

Good thought! That definitely should have occurred to me. :P Thanks for the tip! And as it turns out we don't even have to work that hard because dis-inclined has an archive! SQUEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Such a fantastic series. I was cleaning up my LJ Memories last week and noticed this too. Hope someone out there can help.

Turns out dis-inclined is our angel!!! She saved 'em all (see below comment)!!! Including my favorite one-offs, like "If Words Unsaid Could Sway" and "The Stormy Present." UNF. YAAAAAAAY.

Also, I love your icon so very very hard. :D

I have a saved version of Riverrun... And a bunch of others, too. Forgot I had them until I looked just now. I can upload them into a zip file if you want them.

edit: Just uploaded them now. A zip file of word docs with a few of srichard's fics in there, including Riverrun. Here. Oh, and I don't know why it asks me to enable macros when I open it, but I've scanned the whole folder for viruses and it's clean. :)

YOU ARE MY HERO FOREVER OMGGGGG ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ NO AMOUNT OF CAPSLOCK OR KEYSMASHING COULD POSSIBLY EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE!!!!!!!

Bless you, bless you, bless you. I am so overjoyed to read her words again. :D Mind if I edit the post above to include your link for others? I should possibly also make it members-only now (esteemed mods, weigh in!).

dis_inclined July 8 2011, 06:36:12 UTC

No problem at all, dear. :) You can edit the post, I don't mind. Share away.

ninamazing July 8 2011, 07:15:26 UTC

Yay! Thanks so much, again! ♥♥

My heart just about stopped when I first read this post. But then it started up again when I realized all was not lost.

ninamazing July 8 2011, 08:05:48 UTC

RIGHT??!!! God, I am so relieved right now. VERY GOOD NEWS, ESPECIALLY B/C I AM ALL ABOUT YOUR HEART CONTINUING TO BEAT WITH FANDOMY LOVE. :D ♥!!!!!!!
