1) No email on the profile page? Some people do hide their emails entirely, and I'm not sure what you do in that case.
2) Could the stories be archived elsewhere? I know there are a lot of HP archives out there, and when people bahleet themselves they don't always go systematically through and ask to be removed from every archive.
3) I bet there's a group on LJ called HP_storyfinders, or similar. You can go into that community and ask after specific stories by that person; it's possible he/she set up a website someplace else.
4) If it was kerfuffly enough, it might have been at least partially chronicled on fandom_wank (if nuclear eapons were involved) or fandom_lounge (more of a mellow song stylings locale), over on journalfen.net.
"Night Giving Off Flames"

okay these are good tips. Thanks for this.
If garlandgraves is a paid user, garlandgraves@livejournal.com should work.
If you can't find what you're looking for, let me know, and I can pull together a quick list of HP archives.
Some very entertaining Heroes crackfic in Bridget Jones' Diary format.
Okay, you know what bites?
Finally deciding the story you want to remix, and the concept you want to use, going back to look at the original story one more time--and realizing that not only has this story already been remixed, but that the remix used the exact same concept you had picked.
Crap.
But is yours the same story? If not, couldn't you do it anyway?
That's...
Um, it was a very good idea?
Yeah, I am unhelpful here.
It seems pointless, Beverly. It's been done. And I haven't written it yet, so now I don't want to.
Well, I do get that, if it's not the story that's burning its way out your finger-ends. I only meant "write it anyway" if it was.
I'm sorry, though.
Before Cass makes me blush any more, I shall beat her to the punch and say that I have committed SPN fic.
eta because fandom is apparently irrelevant at ass am.
