I'm looking for fics that I can no longer find available online by Caro who also goes by Spikewriter. Specifically I'm looking for her Life in Sunnydale Series and The Watchers' Diaries series, Something New or Gin Joint but anything aside from her completely awesome and tragically unfinished Seven Years in the Desert and Secrets and Lies would be welcome.

Even more specifically, I am looking for anything by her that is not available here.

Caro (Spikewriter) was @ BS Diaries too; sadly gone. Alea owned the site and posted a link to the WBM [url=spuffy-lovin.livejournal.com/72331.html]here @ LJ[/url].

Caro is here

Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide by Caro
Lone Wolf by Caro
Remembering by Caro
Self Control by Caro
Shades Of Hatred by Caro
A Vampire's Birthday and A Schlayer's Gift by Caro

The links seem to work. Hope the helps!
I've found here at the Sandlot but that's gone too and wasn't clean = the WBM gave me a viruses warning some years ago.
Though I didn't get one now, using the WBM Link from Alea above.

Not sure how much it works:

Seven Years in the Desert - Caro (till chapter 15 ?)

Author page with 15 stories; can't get page 2 of it to work:
https://web.archive.org/web/20070430100049/http://www.the-sandlot.com/fic.php?mode=au thor&auth_id=4

Life in Sunnydale - up to chapter 22
https://web.archive.org/web/20070430100049/http://the-sandlot.com/fic.php?mode=fic&fi c_id=332

Something New - till Ch. 11

Something New (complete)

Sorry the Link for Gin Joint doesn't work, it says:
"Gin Joint was removed at the request of the author as the story has been rewritten and sold for publication."

And because I'm curious - does somebody know more about it (publication?)
Good luck finding more.

"Card Sharp" is at BBF.

Thank you, both of you!

I actually found a lot of her fic, including Gin Joint at her livejournal and her fic journal tonight. http://missivesandmore.livejournal.com and http://spikewriter.livejournal.com. I've pieced together almost everything I was looking for excluding The Watchers' Diaries, although I'm hopeful that when I get a bit more time I might be able to track that down as well.

The Watchers' Diaries

I have it in text document (wordpad), if you want it that way.

Thank you for all the Caro links!

I have been on the search for the Life in Sunnydale_Magic Box stories forever!

Unfortunately, the Sandlot archive from the above link isn't totally functional. I have managed to copy up to chapter 17 of the above, but a couple of the chapters break off in mid-sentence, the formatting is somewhat screwy and I can't access Ch18 at all, even though Chs 19 to 22 are intact.

I don't suppose anyone has had better luck or could forward me a more complete copy?

All4Spike, I found all of the extant Life in Sunnydale series here. It only lists up until 15, but once you start scrolling through the stories you will find links at the bottom of the page for all 17 chapters. All of the links worked last night.

The Sandlot says that there are 22 chapters, but it ends at the same exact place as the end of the 17th "episode" at the link above. I think The Sandlot counted some of her multi-chapter "episodes" as individual chapters.

The last episode of the series that I have any reference to anywhere on any of her sites or journals is "Episode 17: Exes and Other Catastrophes" which is a huge multi-part story that took up 4 pages at Missives From the Hellmouth.

However, if you don't feel like scrolling through all the links I grabbed an RTF last night. It's unformatted as of yet but I inbox me your email address and I will be happy to send it to you.

Thank you so much, Peyton. Found and saved.

Thanks for providing the wayback machine sites to the old archives. Unfortunately I tried the BS Diaries and could not get into the individual stories. Even went to the home page to try to search through by title but they don't even list alphabetically (weird). By chance did you manage to make copies of the 6 stories? Let me know by PM'ing me & I'll reply with my email address.
