"Well, could someone answer the original question? Because I'm quite curious
myself as to where you're obtaining these."
The legitimate way to obtain the so-called underpublished stories (those
that were published, but never collected in books) is to read them in the
magazines in which they were originally published. This can be done with a
little work (and is even a bit fun to some of the more twisted among us) in
a library with a good micro-fiche collection and a list of magazines to look
for, which can be found on the Internet. The illegitimate way is to get
somebody on the Internet to email you a copy. One of these ways is much
quicker than the other, but neither is particularly difficult. It is
considered bad form by even the most brazen of pirates, however, not to keep
quiet about the quicker way since it's illegitimate.
The truly unpublished stories can be read only in the places where they are
kept, and there aren't many of these. Lists of stories and locations can
also be found on the Internet. I don't have any URLs immediately in my
head, but I'm sure others here do, and they can probably be found wherever
it was that you learned about this email list.
It might be that someone in the world has copies of the truly unpublished
stories, and it is conceivable that they could thus be got illegitimately
over email. But this would require a much more savvy character than the
underpublished stories would, I think.
