Which 6?

If Crasher's was one of them, there's a good chance it's technical issues, because I'm looking at who I sent that to, and your e-mail's on there...and I copy/pasted from the "to" of someone else's e-mail to me, so...yeah.

Since this seems the place to ask questions, I'll add mine here.

Looking at the boards I see six threads on stories I haven't read. One of those was due to the docx format and the converter patch not working on my vista 64 system, but that leaves five stories that I simply didn't receive in the mail.
Where those stories sent out to only a limited amount of people, or is it due to technical issues that I didn't receive them?

Well, I just checked my "Sent" folder, and I definitely had sent my submission to you. Though I wouldn't rule it being something like Hotmail just deciding to block the email with the strange attachment. I've had that happen to me before.

I'm sending off my submission to you again, just to make sure.

Chaos - For some reason yours went through to 'junk mail' on mine... that's a hotmail one..

So maybe others are having the same problem?

Hotmail really just has an overzealous spam filter, in my opinion.

I just checked but didn't receive the resent either unfortunately. However I just realised that is my own doing... Due to the amount of spam I got I sort of blocked Yahoo from my hotmail.. And seeing the mailing list that already excluded about four of you... sorry 'bout that.

I now have Yahoo unblocked again so I should be able to receive again.

The ones missing are:
Scepter of infinity
Aspirations
Crystalheart
Fateshapers (Edit: I Already have this one.)
Spectre's end

And Phyles is the one I couldn't open.
If you guys would be so kind to send them again I'd be at my most humbliestly gratefull.

Does anyone have an FTP server they'd be willing to let us use? That way instead of having to deal with email issues, we could pop them up there and people could download them (password protected of course). It'd serve as an archive too...
My friends held an intervention, to stop my ridiculous plans to take over the world (Jake ended up in the hospital). I convinced them to let me take over other worlds though.

I've resent mine, Manyang. Enjoy!

That's a good idea, if there is one to use. This way, if a new person joined a day after submissions and wanted to read it, all he or she would need to do is look onto the server.

By the way, guys, after the 17th, I promise I will review all of the stuff. Once finals is over... I shall get to breathe, and start writing myself. Sorry that's taking so long.

My initial reaction was "buh FTP server we need what why?" but now that I actually, yanno, THINK about it, I like the idea. :D

Excellent guys, I received all of them. Thanks!
Chaos, yours ended up in my junkbox for some reason but otherwise it seems to have gotten here fine.

I'll try and get them all done before the next wave arrives.

That's a little bizarre. Though really, with a username like 'Chaos2651', I can somewhat understand why it could be blocked. The four digits at the end don't help.

OK, to date I've only received submissions from:

Raethe
Hayley
Frog
Reaves
Dangerbutton
Spejoku
M

I don't know if the ones I'm missing didn't get sent or that I just didn't get them.
Anyway, I can still read more if you want to send them to me.  Better late then never.

I'm missing submissions from the following people:

jjb, wcarter4,  Miyabi, Plantation Monsta, Sortitus, Tamyrlin(?)
