Best would be to upload it on the same server again; from there, it could be used as a repository for the best m/m stories.
As for Nicholas H., he's fine, though he is a very busy young man, and hence no longer has much time reading TUG stories.

Now is time to make a list of "best of" m/m stories in a format that makes long stories or extended sets of stories accessible. XTC, JT, Bondagefreak, Snobound, barefootethan, and many others. It requires people to proofread/ edit/ format so it doesn't take too long uploading stuff.

That said, I have a question related to old TUGs stories. Some 5 or 6 years back, I remember reading a story (it was one of those serials). I can't remember if it was real or fiction or who wrote it. I just remember that the story premise was simple: bunch of 10-14 year olds (or so) were cleaning the house. When they finished, they were all hanging out together. One of the girls was wearing a bandana (to protect her hair), and one of the boys called her a gangster for it. She told him to stop, but he wouldn't, so they wound up with a full TUG war. I have tried several times since to find it but unsuccessfully. Anyone remember it?
