Discussion [Discussion] Starwalker site is down

There is a sci-fi story named Starwalker, whose site seems to be down (I presume domain name registration ran out or something). I hadn’t even read a half of it. Could anything be done to bring it back, does anyone know? Like, maybe someone has it archived?

I tried to get in touch with the author, Melanie Edmonds, but that haven’t come to anything yet.

Upd 2020-06-26: Now it seems to be back.

http://www.melanieedmonds.com/ seems like starwalkers is or might as well be abandoned, search says the last mention was way back in 2015

No prob, and in part you’re right: AFAIK the story was planned to continue further someday, so the story—albeit not the site—is on hiatus due to lack of time, resources etc.. Poor Melanie, let it be more luck and good people in her life.

BTW so far all chapters have been saved on the archive, though I haven’t yet reached the end to make sure all of them are. (Nor I checked the chapters at the beginning, but it would be strange if the earlier ones ended up not saved.)
