When we moved the fanfics over here back in 2005/2006 we didn't have a lot of time to correct formatting problems or even catch any mistakes made during the move (ie, missing chapters). Over the past 4 years, we've tried to correct things as we've come across them, but it would be a great help if anyone who sees a fic that seems to be missing text or needs some formatting work done (ie, if the paragraphs have no space between them), could post here and let us know which fics need our attention. In a lot of cases, we have back up copies of completed fics that we can return to if parts seem to be missing.

Thanks

I hope that you catch me, 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let a love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home

I found three stories so far that need fixing, all say complete, but are missing the end of the story.

In the G-PG13 section of the archive: Backwards by Lumiliterati

In the R Section of the archive: Salem Bitch Trials by Frances22_81 & Sike by Lumiliterati

Thanks. I've fixed Backwards and Salem Bitch Trials. I'm not sure if a chapter is missing from the middle of SBT or if they're just mis-numbered. I'll have to check with Frannie.
Sike is now fixed as well.

I'm pretty sure all of these missing endings are the result of the conversion from Invisonfree to Zetaboards. Zetaboards has a smaller post word limit.

Maybe The Great RAS Mystery? It cuts off mid-sentence in the first post and then the next post begins with the next chapter. Or was that a satiric comment on the way Days changes plots midstream?

I was just reading If Only by Super Sami, and it needs a spell check done. And I believe it's chapter 5 that it cuts off the end and goes straight to chapter six. Just to let you know.

Just to clarify, we generally don't correct spelling/grammar for authors, as it is their work and what they posted, unless they ask us to.
What we're looking for is formatting problems that were created by us moving our archives from MSN and any shortened posts caused by Zetaboards.

Do we have Homecoming somewhere? I lost my files when the old computer died, and while I think I have a backup CD somewhere, it would save a lot of time if I didn't have to look for it.... I started reformatting it over a year ago, but never finished. I really should get it done.
At my favorite site, Second Chances
We celebrate all Lumi's glances
Whether longing and sweet
Or of passion and heat
It's the greatest of all romances!

IF Only Author: Super Sami in the R archive is missing some parts of the story.

In between Chapter Seven and Eight almost right at the end of Seven there is a cut of sentence and I believe paragrahs and I notice another one as well between Chapter 11 and 12.

Unmasked
Author LUmiLiterati
In the Pg-13 Archive

At the end its cut off the last sentence or paragrah or paragrahs.

The Story doesn't say it's complete but you can tell that the end of what was post has been cut off.

Betrothed by Khloe under PG-13 and under states that the link is for the complete story. It only points to the Prologue and Chapter One. There are at least four more chapters and it is incomplete. Can we fix?

Langedeluna's Winter Snow and Mistletoe is a dead link.

Michelle's Changing Hearts might be missing the end, and there might be a copy with better formatting somewhere?

ShanniC's Awakenings is either missing the end or incorrectly marked as complete. I can't tell which.

Tigerlily's The Unforgettable Valentine cuts off partway through chapter 12 in the first post and the formatting for her Someone To Watch Over Me is problematic.

# ZandersGyrl_LumiAddict's Shocked Silent has no spacing until the end.

I'm still going through my story life after the engagement, and a chunk in the middle of chapter 24 is missing, i guess it's right when you ended it on message and went to a new one, some of it got lost....I haven't read this story from the board in so long I didn't realize some of it was gone lol

For Betrothed this is the new link to get to all of the chapters. Khloe's Fiction Korner I think I posted it in the archive section but idk. that fic has moved domains a couple times now. Finally had to move it to a blog to make sure I got to keep it there. (Free websites shut down domains a lot I have found)
