Site Update 3/10/2024 doesn't have a link to Chapter 6. True, but you can get to it via last week's Update.  |

Also, either of the home page links to A Life Discovered will take you to the story's index page, which does have a link to chapter 6.

Thanks for your feedback. It was a minor quibble about a gift I get for free.
I do know how to get to the "Next Chapter" by the means you guys mentioned.
I mentioned the missing link because they have been missing in appropriate places since Chapter 3 of A Life Lived (and are still missing.) They are all there now in A Life Discovered. There don't appear to be any Previous or Next options at the end of any chapters in Beyond Salvation.
I wondered if it was because they were guest authors and not Dave's stuff, but as they are missing from A Life Lived, that can't be the reason.
Perhaps it's a function of over worked and underappreciated behind the scenes minions.
At any rate my initial post was just to point out a missing feature that I use a lot when I re-read these stories. My train of thought doesn't like getting stopped and backed up to the last "Switch Point" and started forward again.
I do really like this site and appreciate the efforts put forth by people who get very little acknowledgment of their efforts!
Thanks Dave to you and your team.

Well, damn. I am a little embarrassed that I completely failed to notice the missing Next links in A Life Lived. I usually beat Dave up a little over things like that. The missing Next links can happen pretty easily - they're in the HTML but commented out until the next chapter is published. They fail to show up if Dave (or someone, but I think it's Dave) posts the new chapter and forgets to go back and patch the file for the previous chapter to enable the Next link. This is why the Next links are more likely to be missing than the Previous links. (Note: "beat Dave up" is strictly verbal - we're separated by about a thousand miles, so that's pretty much the limit of our interactions.)
Anyway, the missing links in A Life Lived are missing no longer.
The Next and Previous links are there in chapters 1 through 11 of Beyond Salvation, which have been up on the site for years. I think the Previous link at the end of chapter 12, which was the end of the story when it was originally posted here, disappeared when the notes announcing that the story was at least temporarily at an end were trimmed with the posting of chapter 13, and then the truncated chapter 12 file was used as a template for formatting the remaining new chapters. But as I wasn't involved in posting the new chapters, this is only speculation.
