Linking ethics question.

hmpfI've almost finished my website, just the links pages and two recs pages are still to be uploaded. Now, the links pages I will only be able to start building in December, because I forgot my bookmarks on my computer in Germany, but the recs pages are ready for upload... but: on both pages, there is one author I just cannot reach at all. On the one page it's Liz Williams/Arcady who wrote some frelling awesome DS9 fic a few years ago but has since moved on to pro writing and, while keeping her old fanfic site on line, has not left a working e-mail address accessible to the public - the old one on her old site is deactivated, and on her new site, there is no way of contacting her.
On the other page, it's a Buffy and Harry Potter author (Abi Z.) who wrote a very nice crossover but apparently does not use the same e-mail addy as given in the story anymore.
So, do I just go ahead and post the pages to my website without permission to link, assuming that no author would really mind being recommended quite fervently, or would that be breaking netiquette?
On a totally different note: received the most detailed and enthusiastic feedback of my life yesterday, for Rise and Shine and A River in Egypt, which can be found here, if you you're interested (the stories, not the feedback, stupid! ;-)):

BTW. I just checked my website's stats, and found out that apparently the most read story of mine is Flaking Paint, my unfinished very first Methos fic, begun in 1999. Which is a shame, because it's far, far from being my best story. *sigh*
