A treasure-hunting adventure in a net-wired world

Synopsis: This story is a recounting of an experience in a near-future time when everyone is wired into the net all the time, by someone who hunts down antiquities and documentation of rare experiences and sells them to collectors for a living. The protagonist gets kidnapped, and cut off from the net, and forced to deal with her kidnappers.

What I thought: Trigger Warning for ALL THE TYPOS. This is an integral part of the premise for the story, but it annoyed the hell out of me and kept kicking me out of it. I really liked the premise of the story, and I thought that it showed a lot of promise, but it just didn't go far enough to satisfy me. I'm hoping that she'll develop it into a novel (if she does, I'll just have to figure out how to deal with the typo angst).

I am informed that this was originally part of the Metatropolis shared world, and that having read/heard the other stories enhances this one.
