Anyone know how to get to the broken links involving WotC's novel pages?

Here's the one webpage I was able to connect to. The links on the left side are all dead or hidden it seems.

That'd be my suggestion as well. Sometimes, those novel articles are archived elsewhere on the web, and that makes them easier to find.

WotC has a very bad habit of moving things around and not updating the links. I truly believe that even their own webmasters wouldn't be able to say with any degree of certainty where everything is...

That said, you can sometimes find older stuff by finding links that do work, and then using those to extrapolate the URLs for other stuff.
