How about "A Different Game"?

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Sure! Can you provide author and link, please?!

DVS, "A Different Game," www.thecircuitarchive/tca/archive/18/adifferent.html

Excellent, thank you!

Fancy hosting? *g*

Hi! Wow, a story of mine picked!

I never put it anywhere except the LJ post, because I wasn't really satisfied with it, and kept tinkering occasionally. This gives me an impetus to take one last look at it, and get it up to AO3.

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Hello! And yes! Isn't it exciting? *g*

Thanks for popping by and looking at the story again. I must admit that I don't remember reading it, though I know I must have, but I'm curious about which bits you weren't satisfied with... If you get a chance to come and join us at the weekend that would be fab... *g*

The link to "A different game" is broken.

You can find the story both in The Circuit Archive A Different Game (http://www.thecircuitarchive.com/tca/archive/18/adifferent.html)
and in The Hatstand A Different Game (http://hatstand.slashcity.net/dvs/diffgame1.html)

How odd - it was definitely working when I posted it, because I used it afterwards! I fixed it - but it didn't work again! So I've fixed it a third time and it seems to be okay - cross fingers...

Thanks for letting me know! I'll post any other links when I post the announcement for the story - mostly at this stage it's so I can be sure that I've got the right story listed!

And I've just realised that tomorrow's Friday...!

You're welcome. Just a little word missing in the link. And I don't think there are other places where it's archived.

Friday...You'll be busy again :-) See you then!

Which word in the title was missing, out of curiousity? Because I copy-pasted the whole thing from the url on the actual page... I did have to add https// because that was missing from the original link - but it still didn't work on the second go, so it did look as if something was being taken out...

[sagittas.livejournal.com]

Just the ". com" in the url. Like the link in the comment above.

Hmmn - it's certainly there when I copy and paste without adding the code... Ah, I see what happened! Yes, I copied jat_sapphire's link, and I remember frowning when it gave me google search results instead of taking me directly there - but because that was at the top of the page I thought it was just Chrome being odd and that it had worked! It's because the .com was missing from that!

Mystery solved - I can sleep easy now! *g* (Well, if I ever get finished with work...!) Cheers!

So, good work and rest for tomorrow. If I could only follow my own advise and sleep..

[byslantedlight.livejournal.com]

Thanks - you too! It's oddly harder than we want it to be, isn't it...! See you tomorrow!
