John, it is awesome that you are posting Yahoo group stories. Just a suggestion, if you are posting stories by other authors, could you put their names in the posts?
I am astounded you are able to string these things together. I gave up on tracking stories through multiple posts many times!
Dan

I agree with Dan. John, you're doing an amazing job! And I'd also like to see not only the names of the authors of the stories you're reposting, but equally as important is to post the DATE they were posted, as I make a note of that whenever I publish the stories to our site. Then, after a year or so has passed after they're first published to the site, I will back-date them to the date that the final chapter of each story was published.
Of course, with unfinished tales the date doesn't matter as much, since they're not fit for publishing until they're finished, and they'll all be finished here on this message board eventually, and so the posting dates for unfinished tales aren't as important. But the author's names are always the most important factor, especially with round-robin tales involving multiple authors. Everyone deserves the proper credits for their own works!

I am sorry. I should have thought of that before. I will go back and edit all the ones I have brought over so far to include the names and the dates. It make take a while though.

John, don't be sorry! I know how much work it takes to unravel a story from posts and I am always amazed at your passion for the 5 Earths stories!

Wouldn't it be easier on John for us to, if we have access to them, repost our old stories on the new site where they belong? Just curious.

If we have them, yes, that would be much easier on John. I see some of the stories he's posting are by writers who aren't members anymore, though.

If you see any of you stories on the list I posted of missing stories. Please go ahead. Meanwhile, I will keep saving these orphans from being lost.
I have gone back and added the names of all the authors, and the dates of the first posts. These are the ones I still have to bring over.
Earth-2 A Just Society Child of Dreams K Quest The Return of (JSA)
Earth-4 THUNDER Agents Presents Noman THUNDER Agents Prologue
Earth-S A Day in the Life of Lady Marvel
Earth-X Suicide Times Four The Mask of the Hornet

Hi John,
Earth-X: Don't bother with "The Mask of the Hornet," as I have rewritten that story completely under the title of "The Clock Strikes", and although not all of the story has been published yet, it will be along with other Earth-X stories taking place at the same time.
Earth-S: Also don't bother with "A Day in the Life of Lady Marvel," as that story has also been partially rewritten as a Thunder Girl story and will follow "Summer Showdown."
Earth-2: Please don't repost Child of Dreams, either. That one's mine, and I have a lot of work I'd like to do on it first.

Feel free to ignore the stories by Drivtaan or lee since both of those are me. There might be a couple more aliases floating around, like Max the gnome or Psychopup, but I'm not sure if I have those stories (if there are any) saved.

I am not sure if I will try to capture the stories Justice at the JV Mall or Reunion In Macao, since the author said he was finishing them on another site. What do you all think?

I’ve tried so many times to tackle editing those stories in hopes of finishing them myself, but the number of grammatical, spelling, and punctuational errors are so many I gave up in frustration. I do have them saved myself, so if there’s a demand for them I could post them.

That happens to me, too, Doc. There are some stories I tried to edit and gave up. It's too bad, especially with a good story teller.

Is the story Trial and Fury saved on here? I seem to have taken it off my list of unfinished stories, but I want to make sure it is not lost.
Also, I'm trying to figure out where exactly the "K Quest" story begins. I feel like it is actually several connected stories, but I'm not sure which is the first one that has not been published on the site yet.
