looking and looking and looking for a fic

[laylee]

Gah, I've been trying to find a link to a Sports Night/due South crossover called Ice. Dan starts a relationship with Mark Smithbauer and stuff happens. You know the drill. But do you think I can find the damn thing?

Can anyone out there lend me a hand? Anyone? Beuller?

ETA: Found it thanks to the magikal powers of the internet wayback machine.

For once I can be useful! It's in my memories, for the very same reason (it took me forever to find the thing, and I wasn't going to lose it again). Hang on a tick ...

... bugger!

That link's dead. Now I have to look for it again! (And save to hard drive when I find it.) Pain in the bum.

Oh bugger :~(

Do you remember who the author is?

[phoebesmum.livejournal.com]

Kit Mason. I'm Googling for it now, and swearing loudly - I shall be so pissed off if it's gone!

[laylee.livejournal.com]

Yay!

It looks as if she's let her domain name lapse. There's an email address linked to a couple of the recs, but (a) I don't know if it's current and (b) ... would it be kind of pathetic to send a begging email ...?

Granted, if someone sent me an email begging for one of my fics, I wouldn't stop smiling for a month, but that's me.

I found it through the wayback machine and I've saved it to my hard drive at work. Want me to send you a copy?

I'd be so happy it'd keep me going for at least a month!

Ah, my brain hasn't kicked in yet, of course I could've Waybacked. And yes, please.

I did spend quite some time going through the old messages at the Yahoo group looking for your longer fic that's on there - 'Evening the Keel' and a few others - 'cos I couldn't find them anywhere else. If that helps?

Yeah, I know I'm not that great about putting my stuff out there either. I took my SN off FF.net because I got one too many rude comments from the trolls that inhabit the place, and you can't find any of my Harsh Realm stuff anywhere these days except the old HRFic yahoo group. I have put all my recent stuff (including all my drabbles) in my memories, but that doesn't help if your looking for anythig I wrote before I got on to lj.

I'll email it now. Don't be shocked if it comes on my work addy :~)

Ooh, I loved that story. Would you drop me the link please?

I ended up finding it through the Wayback maiching because it looks like her website has died. Thank god for Wayback!
