MC Stories have recently changed their stance on material that contains explicitly or implicitly underaged characters, they will be removing it from their site - I do not envy the task of scouring an archive that size!

However in light of the impending scrubbing, does anyone have an archival of MC Stories? If so, I'll throw that on Xefig.com for preservation and keep a torrent seed open.

Best I've got at this stage: https://archive.org/details/mcstories_jan2022 (also posted on the mcstories forum). It's from Jan 2022, and while I haven't gone through it with a fine-toothed comb, it looks pretty decent to me. Archive.org also has a 2017 version in warc format here: https://archive.org/details/falconk_archivebot_www_mcstories_com_20170114

Hopefully much of the archive can be reconstructed from those sources, but I'd primarily go with the Jan 2022 archive as my first choice based on what I've seen.

Piper's Domain, created specifically to replace MCStories's UA
section, when they stopped accepting new UA stories, was a good site
while it was running, till the first ASSTR crash, after which it
remained as an archive of the stories that had been posted there.

Unfortunately it was on ASSTR and crashed when the rest of ASSTR
crashed.

I did find the authors page on the wayback machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20171210091525/https://www.asstr.org/~Piper/writers.html

After a bit of searching I found the home page:

Still more work to do for the archive for the linking of removed stories (the lists), but all the stories are there, all the way up to the end of November 2022.

Magnet link on xefig.com, or here:

First they closed mrdouble, now its saved archive is itself on wayback only, and the trend continues...
