Hey there!
I missed your stories?
Why can't I view them anymore? :(
Here you go Emjay, http://cobracrackcentral.com/2010/12/20/the-new-improved-ccc-a-note-frm-sabine/
Hello Sabine...I really enjoyed Cowboy Mike and BadBoy Mike up to act 2 I've been trying to get in but The page just keep saying Error 404 when I click on BadBoy Mike at the top help me please! :'(
Woohoo! I got in so happy :) thank you Sabine for your addictive stories!
Hello Sabine,
I started to read Cowboy Mike a while ago and like You warned, it was highly addictive. Now, when You made the changes and I'm no longer able to see the stories, I feel like I'm lost. Cowboy Mike was and is my drug that I can't live without. You are an amazing writer, the way You describe the events and people in them makes them feel so real and it's very easy to get lost in them. I've been in love with Michael as an entertainer since I was ten years old, but Your stories made me fall in love with him as a MAN. I still can't believe that he is no longer with us and the grief is sometimes unbearable, but Your wonderful work makes me feel like he's still alive and closer to me then ever. I can't thank You enough for that.
I know I haven't commented before and you might say that I took your art for granted. I understand if You don't give me the permission to view the stories, but it would mean a world to me, if You did. I promise You, that I'll show my appreciation in every possible way and I will never ever take advantage of Your kindness.
Thank You for writing the greatest story I have ever read. I wish You only the best and that your imagination never ends.
One hopeful (and desperate :) ) fan from Estonia
I just wanted to add, that I can't read other MJ fan fiction, because besides that they are often poorly written, it feels like Michael is cheating Sabah
Hi Liis, what a sweeeeeeeeet message
you know one in one of the best love stories that I've ever read, the leading woman was from Estonia! So now I always think of Estonia as a magical place.
I always picture addicts who can't access Cowboy Mike anymore looking either like this:
or this
And I know some don't ask for access because they feel like:
Why should I?
Oh thank You, thank You, THANK YOU! Now I look like one of these people on the first picture (maybe a little bit prettier
)
). I am pleasantly surprised that You know about it, most people from other countries think this is a name of an ice cream or something 
Estonia is a magical place indeed (that MJ visited once, by the way
Now it's time for me to continue reading Cowboy Mike, God, I've missed this! Thank You again, I couldn't be happier!
Your'e so welcome!
Michael visited Estonia
Wow, now I KNOW it's magical!!!!! Hope you enjoy the chapters
Oh, by the way:
I sooooooo love that!!!!
Hello Sabine it's me again and trying to get in again..I don't know what I'm doing wrong? I'm logged in and It's reading again error 404.please tell what I'm doing wrong.
Hey Luv, I thought you said you got in, what happened? What chapter did you get into? Is it the same chapter that is giving you the 404 error again?
Hey Sabine I got into Bad boy mike act 3 the other night..but didn't get a chance to get into reading so I decided to catch up on it this weekend and I've been trying for more then a hour lol and it's doing me the same way error page. it's the same chapter.
Are you sure? I'm trying to trouble shoot this thing. Tell me what you saw when you got in?
When I finally got in the other night..I clicked the top chapter Bad Boy mike A walk in the park..today when I clicked it..it's saying Error 404.let me try again
Okay, but after you clicked the top link, Bad Boy Mike, a walk in the park, what did you see?
I just tried again no go...still reading Error 404 :(
That doesn't surprise me, that's why I'm asking what you saw when you clicked the link last time that made you think you got in?
Underneath Error 404 it said something like go to the site search and I did that and it took me to previews of the Chapters, then I try to get in from there it still takes me back to Error 404.
okay, that's what I thought!!!
Sooooo, did you read this http://cobracrackcentral.com/2010/12/20/the-new-improved-ccc-a-note-frm-sabine/ -- 'cause that explains why you can't get access. What happened is you actually thought you got in, but you really didn't.
First off I'm so sorry you had to go through negativity in the past which made you have to change the site...so for those people that gave you a hard time I don't blame you. but I was not one of those people, I have never left any comments until I was not able to get in the other day....I just read and enjoyed...I did become a member I believe last summer and I go to the get hooked area and sign in and via Twitter. I'm not one of those people. I would really love to have access again.
I don't know why, this might sound crazy, but this whole situation reminds me of this story -- every time some one comes here and say, HELP! I can't see Cowboy Mike anymore, I remember it!!!!
Parable of the Wedding Feast (Mat. 22:2-14)
2 The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son. 3 He sent his servants to those who had been invited to the banquet to tell them to come, but they refused to come. 4 Then he sent some more servants and said, 'Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.' 5 But they paid no attention and went off— one to his field, another to his business. 6 The rest seized his servants, ill-treated them and killed them. 7 The king was enraged. He sent his army and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8 Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. 9 Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find.' 10 So the servants went out into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. 11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 'Friend,' he asked, 'how did you get in here without wedding clothes?' The man was speechless. 13 Then the king told the attendants, 'Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
14 For many are invited, but few are chosen.
I know you're not one of the people who made things here unpleasant; those very few people, I banned them. That wasn't my only problem though, with the way things were starting to feel like here on the site for me and what was starting to stifle my creativity (I pretty much lay it all out on that link I left). I know you became a member in September and never left any comments until you couldn't get access. I know you were just reading and enjoying. Well, I shouldn't say I know, I guess I should say I assume you were enjoying the stories otherwise you wouldn't come back or request access now. I also understand that you would really love to have access again. Believe me, I get it.
Will I get access?
Hi
I see there is a new chapter up, but I haven't been able to read BBM 3 or this new TTWC chapter so I won't be able to comment much.
I hope you're still working on this problem of letting everyone have access.
Thanks
Hey Sabine, im trying to read Bad Boy Mike and i keep getting Error 404 can u help me please i really love all your strories you are an amazing writer
Hi Tw33ty, it's nice to hear from you and that you've let me know what you think of the stories. Thanks! I'm not exactly sure what you mean though when you say you want help. What would you like me to do?
I might just cry with you -- three days of no sleep trying to clean this site. I'm almost afraid to say the worst is over. But God is good and I'm a woman of faith. So I will say it and claim it now.
I was able to restore the new chapter. For a moment I thought I wouldn't be able to, and at that point, you know, I didn't even cry, because I had already been crying all morning!!!!!!
Enjoy, hun
Hi Sabine,
I am proud to say that I've been addicted to Cobra Crack for over a year now, but i've been super busy wit classes so i got a little behind my reading and now I keep getting an error message when I try to read Bad Boy Mike. What can i do to read the stories because after long weeks of classes I look forward to reading these stories and I can't tell you how disappointed i am when i can't. So can you PLEASE help me put im dying over here lol.
Hi, I'm a new member and am just trying to figure everything out. How exactly do you get access to all the stories? Private ones included.. This little piggy is lost.. :/
Hello Sabine,
I´m really sorry to hear that people, who get their happiness and pleasure by destroying others, have attacked your amazing website and stories. I´ve never understood how can some people gain happiness by making other people miserable. I hope that you'll stay strong and won't let those idiots to affect you - you are so talented and you should be able to share hour gift with people who truly appreciate it (like me
). I LOVE your stories almost as much as I love MJ (and thanks to your wonderful writing I love him more than ever).
Oh, almost forgot - I just wanted to ask why my avatar picture has some weird creature on it, not my own picture and why can't I see the stories anymore? Is it because you think I am one of the BAD GUYS? I don't know how can I prove it to you, but I am really, really not. My name is Liis Jürisaar (you can check my facebook page, I'm a fan of Cobra Crack there as well) and I am a real person, who would never do anything to harm your website.
I hope that these kind of thing will never happen to your site again and you'll continue to share this amazing form of escapism with your loyal fans.
With love,
Liis
Hello Sabine it's me again...I just wanted to appeal to you again about access to the stories...I've read Cowboy mike all the way through up to BBM 2...and to me it's been amazing love story, the way you make the the reader feel like they are right there, I have been so caught up that I wouldn't even know what's going on around me. I love to read such a love story about MJ...I have been a MJ fan since I was 9yrs old and now I'm 40 and I miss him dearly and through his music, videos etc, This story still makes him feel like he's still here and is head over heels in love. Sabine you are a excellent writer and writing about my Idol is why I keep coming back...your stories are such a breath of fresh air. I just once again want to get lost in Michael's and Sabah's world again.
Hi luvmjallmylife,
I'm going to be honest with you, and tell you that the reason I didn't give you access is because it seemed from the last message you left, you were kind of saying, oh, I'm sorry you had problems with all the negative people on the site but that wasn't me, I never did that to you. But you were also ignoring the fact that you hadn't ever left a comment about the stories you had enjoyed for over a year, and only said something when you couldn't read them any more.
I'm talking about this message:
I believe if you you enjoy something and like it, you should try and reciprocate in some way and so that's why you didn't access. I tried to explain that to you, and then you just simply asked me:
Which just made me feel, you just wanted to read the stories and couldn't care less what I was saying. Am I wrong? It's hard to glean a person's intentions on line so I thought I'd just come right out and ask.
I didn't mean to sound like that...I just wanted you to know that I wasn't one of trouble makers and I go through life trying to avoid people like that. I do care about what you were saying and I'm so sincere about the trouble that was going on here and glad you decided to weed out those people so your site would be a pleasant place to visit...because in the long run everyone will be happy and I can see how my post about not leaving comments after reading a chapter sounded and for that Sabine I apologize, you are right if you like something that someone does you should let them know. and my last comment "Will I get access" when I look back I can see how that sounded to you and I don't want you to think that I didn't care because I do. I guess I was so caught up trying to convince you I wasn't a troublemaker that I made you think of me differently and that's my fault and I apologize.
Oh, don't worry about it
I'm glad I asked! It's good to ask and not assume, especially on line when things come across one way and it's not like that at all. I mean someone can just be in a hurry or having a bad day or distracted and the person reading feels slighted or dissed and it's not even that serious.
So go ahead and click on one of the chapters -- you should be okay now. Log in on the home page first, and then go to whatever story you want to read -- it seems to work better that way. Let me tell you, believe it or not, I actually am so humbled that anyone would want to read anything I write so I take every compliment and comment expressing joy at the stories very seriously and I well, who wouldn't love to hear something so beautiful. Thanks for being honest and being able to hear me out.
OH thank you so much...I'm so glad we could clear things up..I want to tell you again you are a excellent writer and I mean that...so please continue to be a writer rather it's MJ stories or whatever you decide to write about and I will be one of your biggest fans!!!! again Sabine thank you!!!!!
wow, thanks! I'm glad we cleared things up too! I'm always writing so who knows, maybe you might see me in a bookstore one day, and you'll say OMG!
Hello Sabine!
k, so im on now..jeez school takes up so much time! but i noticed that we now need access to read the stories again. I would LOVE to continue reading the stories, they are so amazing. Please let me know how I can do so. you're work is wonderful. much love!!!!
Hey FJ!
you have access honey. Just make sure you click on an unblocked story, like the Yvette one, and THEN go to one of the blocked stories, and you'll be fine. Log in on the home page first. It's just so the computer can "recognize" you.
Have fun and no running through the halls
Hi Sabine
Hope you are well. Lots of changes to the site and I'm sorry about the fact you've had to protect your stories because of theft
I hope very much you will give me access as I have enjoyed reading them over the last year.
Sorry I haven't been on in a while - moved house - finally!! - and have been suffering from internet withdrawal symptoms not least from your writing.
Wishing you well and looking forward to catching up - if possible
Jenny
HI Jenny,
How are you? You moved!
That's a biiiiiig job! I don't envy you. I found out the hard way that you don't realize how much stuff you have until you move!!!!!
*sigh* The stories! My little babies
Well, I didn't protect them so much from theft as I did my peace of mind. But I read something the other day that just reenforced the idea that some of my former readers were here just taking notes so that they can write their own stories, starring themselves, which would be great if it was just ideas for techniques and style, but stealing the very content of my stories, the things that happened, the things that Michael does, says
Too late for me to protect myself from THAT!
I guess I should be flattered. Was Michael flattered when he looked around and saw everyone copying him? Don't mind me, I'm talking out loud but if you or anyone has input, I'd love to hear it. Should I be flattered?
I guess the difference is that most of the artists who copied Michael had the respect to thank him and give him his due. The fact that this woman would be writing like these were her own ideas rubs me the wrong way. And just the over all patterning their the blog to mirror CCC -- God, I just guess so annoyed. I suppose I should just ignore it? To me it is so disrespectful and annoying . . and predictable too.
So yeah, that was me talking out loud. I believe I did give you access, if you're the same Jenny! I have Jenny, Jenna, Jennifers -- too many Jen's to keep up. But I'll check now and see. Jenny! Where is your avatar???? I'm a picture person! That's how I recognize people!
I'd love to have you catch up and hear your thoughts!
Well they do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but then downright theft is inexcusable - and if they haven't even bothered to acknowledge you and your work then I understand why you are annoyed.
Yep -I am Jenny from NZ. If the picture update works this is me and my little girl - my "mini-me" as everyone calls her - which is extremely flattering - for me - hehe
We are very alike though which can be pretty unflattering at times as well!!!
:shocked:
I look forward to catching up very much Sabine (I did it - I just called you Sabah) I miss my hero and heroine and their escapades and I'll be back to comment soon.
HI Jenny!
Aww, I can't see the pic, Jenny not yet, anyway -- ooops, scratch that. I went ahead and looked out front and yep, that's the cutest pic ever! Just as I guessed, your little mini-me IS just as cute as a button!!! Now, I know the names are similar, but I am so unlike Sabah, it's not funny, even though she's my little baby in a way, too.
Yeah, imitation can be flattering if the person acknowledges you, but no, this person is not acknowledging me at all. And I know for a fact she didn't have an inkling whatsoever to write any story, let alone a story about Michael, until she read Cowboy Mike. The fact that she's gone on to write a story starring herself with all the elements of Cowboy Mike just indicates to me that she is a woman in need of and desiring a lot of attention with not enough imagination to think of her own plots. But enough about that!
Well, I just put up a preview, so you'll have fun revisiting with your favorite couple, if only for a little bit!
Hello, Sabine..
i just wanted to know how i will be able to view the stories private ones included..im logged in but it says error 404 and i havent been on this site for over a year haha:) ive already seen u made some changes thanks to unfornate people but i would really like to get caught with the stories, i have no idea what everyone is talking about!! please dont stop writing becuase of those bad people, you do your thang girl on this site haha:)
btw if you dont remember me i told you you can call me: ninja haha becuase i never have the time to fully comment, ill promise ill try to work on that:)
Hi Snicker/Ninja,
Nice to see you again!!!!! Yes, there's been lots of changes, and so some very cool people now have to suffer a bit for the wannabes and troublemakers who just couldn't/wouldn't go away. So I have to approve you to read the stories which I just did. Enjoy!!!! I actually just put up a preview so your timing is great
omg thanks so much!!! i cant wait to sit down and read all your stories, now i just have to figure out whether i want to start with TTWC or Bad Boy Mike!! decisions decisions!!!
thanks again!!!!
Hello Sabine
I started reading your stories last year and I absolutely fell in love with Cowboy Mike and Bad Boy Mike
I've read so many MJ stories, but nothing like this. Your writing is incredible!
I read what happened and why you needed to make some changes...I'm very sorry you had to go through all of that. I'm also sorry for not commenting, it's just that I'm terribly shy
but I really enjoyed reading them. I would love to catch up but I understand that you have to approve who reads your stories. Can I please have access to your stories? I promise to leave a comment on every chapter 
Hi Susie!!!!!
Thanks for stepping outside of your shyness to say hi and let me know how you feel about the stories!!!!! It's really important to me
And since you asked so nicely, walllla enjoy!!!!!!
helloooo, im still unable to enter the site and i have no way of contacting you other than typing on one of these pages, i just lost all my bookmarks so i dont know which page i was on last time please give me some kind of sign as to how to get back to normal on here. thanks
My bad Deb!!!! I thought I gave you access but I didn't!!!! :kissing: All fixed now!
Hi Sabine,
I am locked out and I do think (hope!) it's a mistake. I was a faithful reader and positive commenter on CM and TTWC (username was Shaz...I seem to have lost the password for that name though, so I created a new one, sasoler), but never even finished the first chapter of BBM because of some craziness in my personal life late last summer/ fall. When I did finally get sorted out enough to try to catch up, I was unable to access the stories anymore. I think it was a couple of months ago when you asked us to comment and that would determine whether we would be permitted to read the stories from now on. I commented on my love and respect for you and the stories, and you replied that you would take down my name for future access.
Anyway, I hope that you will remember me and restore access. I don't have as much free time now as I did when I first discovered your site, but I would love to catch up (my plan was actually to re-read the whole thing from Cowboy Mike I, so I may be slow in catching up to the current chapter) and I would continue to express my appreciation for your work in my comments, of course.
I'm sorry for all the b.s. you've had to go through in sharing your gift with us, so I do understand why you've acted to protect that. In any case I have nothing but love for you, Michael, and your stories, and I wish you all the best.
Shaz
Hey Shaz, honey! Life, huh, don't you wish those pesky little personal problems would just go away so you can enjoy yourself!!!!!!
Thanks for the comment. I really appreciate feedback as I keep saying, and I finally realize that I want to discuss Michael as much as I want to write about him :lol:!!!!
So I've jost gone ahead and given you access again. If you remember your password as Shaz, that account has access too so you should be fine!!!!
Ttys,
