Marigold sent me this:

Then we have a problem. We can't post three different links to a story. It
has to be easy for a voter to find the next chapter, etc. This is exactly
why I've outlawed the Tolkien Online archive. This is also why I have begun
to think that we should not allow LiveJournal posts. Yes, I realize that
seems drastic to some and many LiveJournal stories are easy enough to
navigate. But this is a problem that must be addressed. As it stands, next
year, a story must be easily navigable or it will be disallowed. If an
Author Liaison can't find the story or can't find the next chapter to a
story, it will not be approved. I'm not talking about archive sites being
down for maintenance and if we can't find a story, we will ask the Author
for another URL. But situations like this one where there are no links from
Chapter 1 to Chapter 2, etc., will be cause for Withdrawal.

Think about that when you nominate a story. We aren't an archive so we
can't dictate how stories are posted. But we can decide what we will allow
and what we won't.

As for this story, can anyone find a better link? One to the whole story?
If someone is really adamant that this story still stay in the awards and
everything and easy solution is to build a small web page with these three
links on it. Then we can use the URL of that web page as the URL for the
story.

Thank you. That one is much better. I've edited it on the MEFA2005 site.
