Das Mervin's sporkings of "The Girl Who Lived" are gone! Noooooooo! I was in the middle of the fifth one too... Can anybody get them back or find out if they're elsewhere?
Neither of my current computers can open Microsoft Word documents, so I'm not sure which of these two files contains the Rose Potter sporking. I'm pretty confident it's on one of them, though . . . apologies for my disorganized system.

I've never used Dropbox before, so let me know if anything's wrong.
Do you have the sporking of the 33rd chapter of the fifth Rose Potter book? It's not in the dropbox.
Chapter 33 was missing even at the time I archived all of Mervin and Hyde's stuff, before the whole site disappeared. I suspect it's gone for good, now. You could try emailing one or the other and seeing if they have backup copies?
Awwww... Okay.
My computer can open Word documents now, so I should be able to find it directly this time. I may not get to it until later in the day, though. Sorry for the wait.
Well, the first link works. I do wish I could search through it but beggars can't be choosers. I miss the comments though.
I can send you a copy tomorrow, though it may not be until later in the day.
The Rose Potter sporkings were originally posted on Journalfen, which is in the middle of transferring from Livejournal code to Dreamwidth, I think. So anything that was on Journalfen (HMS STFU, Fandom Wank, Bad Penny, etc.) is unavailable at the moment.
Unfortunately, Mervin mentioned on Das Sporking that she's pretty busy at the moment, but you could always try contacting her. Right now, I think everyone's waiting to see what's going to happen with JF; they might eventually reload all the old entries, but there's no guarantee that it'll be any time soon.
