Is it possible for you to please put those files back up on rapidshare or any other fileshare website? I am interested in reading all of those stories after d/l'ing the ripple archive!

Alright, here's my contribution. I have a fairly good sized collection of stories, so there should be something here for everyone.
It contains:
- Tools of the Trade, an Evangelion story by Omnipresent that was lost when the old fiction site went down
- An old, old Blood Rayne story by some people called "Game Junkie Team" that came from the same old Nyou site as the Tekken 2 fic
- An old Starfire story by Poowrite that was posted on Wetset a billion years ago and I haven't found anywhere since
- The Knight's Story, which was posted on the old AnonIB before it went down (Actually, I've forgotten who wrote this, but I know it's somebody on Nyou Fiction. It would be great if you could come forward and take credit)
- An old Videl story, the author of which I likewise have forgotten (sorry! please tell me who you are)
- Ariel Poops her Pants, a story I got from Ripple's Story Index, which sadly seems to have stopped working (sad face)
- A story sent into a magazine that I found reposted on Wetset a while ago, which has since vanished into the aether
- The Princess, another story from Wetset which was posted more recently but is still gone. Again, if the author happens to read this, please take credit
- The reward for solving Arthur Saxon's logic puzzle (http://www.asstr.org/~Arthur_Saxon/Five_Accidents.html). I don't like to encourage cheating, but eventually he'll stop emailing it to people who send him the solution, so we should probably try to preserve it now
While we're on the subject, ripple-story-index.web1000.com/side.html isn't working anymore and this time I'm afraid it may have bitten the dust for good. I always loved the stories by Lucy Peters on that site, but like a fool, I never thought to save them. If you don't know the author, she was a British woman who wrote several stories, both true and fictional, the most well known being the "A Favourite Fantasy" series, where a woman stays with two other women at a resort called the Home Farm where they wet and mess their knickers for a week. If anyone happens to have those saved, I would be eternally grateful.
Well, that's it for me. Here's hoping others will come forth with some long lost gems of their own.
