Zero by sweet_dreams

[xie-xie-xie.livejournal.com]

Anyone know where I can find the fic "Zero" by sweet_dreams? All the links I can find are to bjfic.net, and the URL doesn't get me anything in the Wayback Machine. *iz sad*

Thanks!

Xie

ETA: FOUND, thanks to blklizard!

Unfortunately Cael put a robot txt on the bjfic site when she took it over and this prevents anyone using a search machine like wayback from finding or accessing any of the fics on the site. I can't even access any of the old old links from before she took over managing the site.

However I do have a lot of the stories that were on the site not all of them but a lot of the older stories. I've uploaded quite a few of them sendspace.

I happen to have Sweet Dreams 3 stories uploaded into a zip file and if you want them you can download from this link. This is a direct link to her stories. When you unzip the file you can get the fic "Zero" that you are looking for.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I really appreciate this more than I can say. I came across an old thread where Vamphile and I were talking about this fic, and it made me intensely nostalgic for it, and I was so sad not to be able to read it again. You're the best!

You're very welcome. I'm glad now I saved so many fics and that I'm a terrible procrastinator who never gets around to deleting anything. I never thought they would be gone from the net and so many people would still want them.

also I think that Aly has put all the fics from both folders #1 + #2 of your BJFic Net Stories on her 4-Shared Mirror site (@ sidebar (http://gih.kinnetiks.net/)) as individual downloads. I just looked & "Zero" seems to be available there as a 72kb word.doc under Authors: Sweet Dreams.

I've previously downloaded both of your BJFic Net Stories (http://getithere.livejournal.com/1706675.html#cutid1) folders so notice that I've already got "Zero" by sweet_dreams as it's in folder #2 & thank you so much for that!! All those fics would be lost! Aly's only been able to include them thru your efforts & generosity so thanks again! Don't know if u get much feedback but it's really appreciated here. If, as you say, it's happened thru procrastination...then as someone may have said in silliness:
PROCRASTINATE NOW...DON'T PUT IT OFF!

Sorry to jump in just for a request, but I just tried to access your #1 folder and got a message that it wasn't there. Would you mind checking on it? Not urgent, of course, but I figured you'd want to know, anyway. Thanks for saving these! I hope there are lots of new fans to read this "historical" fiction.

I just ✓'d & got the same. #2 at https://www.sendspace.com/file/ck0l1o downloaded & decompressed just fine (took about 4 mins) but #1 at https://www.sendspace.com/file/ttu6z3 says, "Sorry, the file you requested is not available."

Both full zip files are also available to download at Aly's mirror site (@ sidebar (http://gih.kinnetiks.net/)) under 'by Sites' (instead of 'by Authors')
ETA: I just tried it there & it downloaded fine (in only about 1 min). It's called "BJFic Net - QAF FanFictions Part 1.zip" there. blklizard is credited on her sites opening page for it.

I'll check on that but here is a direct link to the file that should work. Most people download it from the QAF folder not the individual link.

here is the link to the entire folder I add new stuff periodically when I find out something is no longer on line or can't be found.

Yes, that link, https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/d8aie4 downloaded folder #1 for me just fine (took about 1½ mins). I've just have noted 1 of, I guess, your 1st posts about it in 2011, http://getithere.livejournal.com/1706675.html#cutid1 which gives the other link that has the 'not available' message.

ETA: The tags also seem to lead to that same post with: http://getithere.livejournal.com/tag/bjfic.net%20partial%20archive%20download

Thanks for the heads up I went back to the post and fixed the link. Not sure why it stopped working but it is all fixed now.

You are welcome. I've had many thanks from people and it is appreciated but not a necessity. I don't ever feel bad if I don't get one. LOL. I'm happy to share what I have especially stuff that has disappeared from the internet. Nothing is more frustrating that knowing there is a story you want to read and it can't be found anywhere. As long as I'm not violating anyone's privacy or stepping on any toes I'll share it. I never thought my procrastination gene would come in handy and be a positive thing. I put them on sendspace because I don't have time to email out requests for stories. This is easier. Plus it started out as a place for me to back up my qaf stories in case of a computer crash but now is for both.

Thanks for the reminder about Aly's uploads. I always forget that the stuff is in both places.

Thanks so much for this terrific collection. This is the easiest way to access files that I've seen. You've been so generous to hang on to these treasures and share them with us!
