The Prince and the Privateer

Hi! I'm looking for "The Prince and the Privateer" by Moonshadow Woman/Elsa Rose. I looked at the tags and the link doesn't work and tried to go through the downloads and didn't see it so if you have a working link or could e-mail it to me I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Edit: Found some links!

The note about Amazon is true. She turned many of her older fan fics into original works and published them as separate books. "The Prince and the Privateer" is available on Amazon under the author, E.R.Bryant.

I won't have my computer long. My kid crashed his and mine is his backup. I have the original story of Shades of Grey when it was fanfiction (Master of the Universe?). I still have not been able to read it. I'm not a writer, so I can't judge her, but she is making soooooo much money an reaching so many with her story.

I also have The Prince and the Privateer (I have my ways). I don't know if it is okay to tell you how to access it. I only know I was curious and so I did some digging. Good Luck.

Okay, so there is a little known archive of fics written and posted to previous versions of Midnight Whispers that are the recovery files from when the server crashed a couple years ago.

There are the original files for the Prince & The Privateer - the B/J story here:
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/625.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/626.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/627.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/628.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/629.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/630.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/631.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/632.txt
http://midnightwhispers.ca/old/stories/Moonshadow%20Woman/633.txt

The files are raw and may contain HTML markup.

I would highly caution you against downloading or distributing without permission from Elsa Rose - AKA Moonshadow Woman.

However, if you are looking for old fics and know the author, you can drudge through the files. Warning they are numbered text files, which are sorted via Unix, so you may find numbering as follows:
3081.txt
314.txt
316.txt
317.txt
318.txt
319.txt
3202.txt
322.txt
324.txt
326.txt
3262.txt
329.txt
330.txt
3300.txt
3306.txt
3307.txt
332.txt
333.txt
334.txt
336.txt

You kind of have to open each file to see what it is a part of and hope the author provided adequate notation regarding chapters.

Geesh, I sounded so smug. Again I have to rush, but thank you Netlegd. I wasn't sure if I could mention that. I do find old fics there, and there is also the bjfic files and the wayback machine. I just can't remember where I found the story intact. I may have searched the web. I'm not really a pro at it. My kid actualy helps me find stuff.

I posted a link for the Prince and the Privateer sometime back in 2011. I think it is too far back for searchers to find anymore. I couldn't find it either. It has been downloaded a lot. All the fics I've uploaded for this group over the last few years can be found in the folder link below. Including Prince and the Privateer. The sendspace account will be around for a long time. As I get around to it I'm using it to back up my favorite fics.
