These URLs lead to the e-mail form at HASA. Here's the one that gets
you to the story's summary page:

<http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?STID=2621>

Otherwise, all Rohan URLs lead to the pages they're supposed to lead to.

This link goes to the main archive page and you have to click in twice more to
get to the story. It's the way the archive is set up I think, because I tried
just going to the link in a new window. Is that compatible with the rules?

Additionally, kill "Háma" and use "Hama", so as to avoid the diacriticals.

Dwim

Larian got one that I somehow missed. <sigh>

Here's a link to "Bitter Watches of the Night" by Sharpeslass that
does go directly to the story:

I checked this on my desktop and the link was fine, I don't *know*
what my laptop was doing! So, no problem with this link!

It might just be something in your e-mail reader. It looks fine in my text
editor. Just one URL, no && before it. And it works.

Kill the diacriticals on the "e" in "Orome" and the "e" in "Frealas"?

<http://www.dwimordenespage.org/index.php?go=7&id=4&chapter=1>"? And

I don't know what to do about the URL's. Theres' only one field with a URL
in the spreadsheet. When I look at the text document I get when I merge
for the check ballots, I only get one URL. I'm not sure why you are seeing
two, let alone three. I looked at this particular check ballot in my e-mail
reader and Gastings Night did have two showing, but not the original text
document. Very strange.

Also, sometimes Outlook is not playing nice with my line breaks.

And Dwim beat you to Hama.
