The Official Searching for a Fic thread

[Loupeitak]

Hey guys. It's a bit of a long shot since it's been so long, but does anyone still have a copy of Captain Pringle's fanfics lying around? Looking mainly for The Emerald League, but if you got any of his other great fics, I'd appreciate it. Unfortunately all the links posted on this thread have expired. Going through a bit of a nostalgic period, would really love to re-read it . Cheers!

Hey Loupeitak,

Long time since I've seen this thread active - and even longer time since I've seen anyone ask about The Emerald League, which was one of my favourite trainer fics from that era, too.

I don't have a copy of it to hand, and I don't know anyone who does. You could try contacting MLG who posted above saying she had TEL in a word doc, but that post itself was many years ago.

I did a forum search and couldn't find TEL. I thought I might be able to find it on the old ezboard from the 2002 era when we moved there briefly, but I can't access that URL and it has been excluded from the Wayback Machine. There is a thread here from 2012 that talks about how to view the old ezboard: you need to create an account with Yuku to be able to do it (which I can't be bothered doing), but that could be an option? The thread is here, if that helps.

Good luck, and if you do find it - please let us know in this thread. I, for one, would love to read TEL again.

Cheers,

Gavin

Hey there! Glad to see a familiar face still around!

Yeah, unfortunately it seems Yuku is also not working. I tried using my old login and creating a new user, but neither worked, unfortunately. I used to have a pdf file of it that was on piratebay a while back, but I had to format my computer and lost it. The only remains I have found of it were at http://ultimateboardofcoolstuff.yuku...-posted-July-3 , but it's not finished and the thread in "The Library" section was corrupted a few years back.

I also tried getting in touch with the people that had copies on this thread, but none of them have replied back through private messages. Such a shame :/
If you or anyone else manages to find a copy, please do let me know!

Yes, likewise it was cool to see you on the forum again! Hope you've been well and life is treating you well.

I was holding out hope for the ezBoard/Yuku option, damn. It may be lost for now. It's possible one of the people you messaged will log back in several months from now, but even if that happens they may have long lost TEL.

Yeah, if anyone else has a copy or is in contact with Captain Pringle, let us know!

Cheers,

Gavin

Hey Gavin, and to anyone else reading this, I have some great news.

While trying to help some family members with their computers and recovering deleted files, I attempted to run the same program on my old PC which had my fanfics saved and I formatted. Unfortunately, Michael's Pokemon Journey seems to be corrupted, but I have managed to recover The Emerald League. I've only had time to read the first few chapters, but the nostalgia is definitely there! I had forgotten how often Captain Pringle used "Hyper Beam" too!

Here's the file if anyone wants to have a re-read!

Have a great day!
