"I'm only sorry I didn't keep a copy for myself"

If you want to p.m. me your RL name and an e-mail address, I can see if I can find the stories for you and send you copies. They may still be available off-line.

On the whole, I prefer to pseudonymize people rather than pull things. There are still those who want to read those old stories! Which people originally did give Mel permission to archive, after all. Also, when it comes to matters like wars, people sent those permission slips McLisa was so insistent on. Twenty-five years later you change your mind? You aren't even dealing with the same volunteers who archived things back then!

I do occasionally wonder why people demand archivists give hours of their time to "fix' something that they did themselves. (Yes, it can take hours.) Then I remember that people who coach Little League teams get yelled at by parents, and people who hand out sleeping bags to homeless people sometimes get cursed at.

By the way, although it takes time to pseudonymize things in wikis and fic archives, doing so in Wars is so impractical as to be impossible. Names could have been written into in any story by any faction, after all, especially party scenes and the like.
