Hi, you may remember me as "Messenger." I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but I'd like to look at my old writing from a long time ago. Unfortunately I've lost most of that old stuff. I had it saved once, but whatever late 90's/early 00's laptop I had it on is long gone, and well.... if anyone has any of my old stories saved somewhere please send them to adrew.cutz@gmail.com

There's no cash reward, but you'd definitely have my thanks!

I have some early postings from BZL going back to 1998 and pretty much all the story content from 2001 linked by year from http://www.chillwater.org.uk/HH/archive/others/ Ironically, the biggest gaps are where other posters kept their own archive sites so I didn't bother to duplicate them, so we're light on material from Finny, DK, AG, Falcon and a few others. Art is archived at http://www.chillwater.org.uk/HH/index8.htm

Looking at my "Homepage of Doom" site for the first time in quite a while I see there are quite a few broken links, so if you encounter any please let me know.

The earliest thing I can easily identify from you is "Origin of Messenger - Pieces of the Mirror" at http://www.chillwater.org.uk/HH/archive/others/2000/messenger%20origin.htm There's probably some earlier stuff but you'd have to check it out manually rather than rely on titles; the earliest archive (that I inherited) was made by Xander the Improbable who used a less structured file-naming system than I adopted later.

Good to hear from you.

I couldn't find Xander's old archive on your site though. Do you have a direct link?

Alas, I found some of my later stuff, but most of the early stuff seems gone. Guess I'll be tearing my old room apart for that 1999-era Toshiba laptop next time I visit my parents.

Xander's material is integrated with the rest. His cache represents everything I have that's not by me from the first few yes, except for a few bits I salvaged from a site I think Banjooo and spiffy had back in the day.

You might also try using the online "Wayback Machine". It seems to have captured some bits of old BZL stuff. If you find anything interesting by all means repost it.
