No, they're fine with the stories reaching readers, and they let all the archived stories stay where they were. They just felt the need to pull the site, and make their fandom contributions less visible as a whole.

I'll be happy to email you all the Rhipoden Society stories I have. I have their Sentinel, Nero Wolfe, MFU, Batman, Pretender, Jedi, X-Files, and Buffy stories. I'll break the emails up by fandom (since the stories are filed that way on my hard drive) & zip them to reduce size.

Email me at my LJ name at AOL with the email address to which you'd like the stories sent. I might not have a chance to get them sent until Saturday though, due to work issues, but I'll try to send them off earlier if I can.
