The main purpose of this site is to maintain a library of the best Bonanza fan fiction - well written stories about the Cartwrights we grew up with.   During our search for the best stories, there are a few we've been unable to obtain  for various reasons.  The purpose of this page is to acknowledge these authors as among the best (in our opinion).  This way, readers who've suggested those authors will know that we do acknowledge the excellence of the work they've suggested.  Where we can, we'll note where the stories in question can be found.  Two of the authors mentioned below prefer not to post anywhere but to make their stories available by email.  As for the others, we've had no response to our emails or the emails have bounced or the authors are looking for copies of their stories; in one case the author prefers not to post on a site where only the identity of the website owner but not the identities of those actually selecting the stories is known.  Whatever the reason a good author isn't posted with us, as a library attempting to collect  the best in the fandom, we want to make those stories available even if only by providing links.
